What's the difference, then?
Score = music composed for the film, such as the things I mentionedSoundtrack = existing music (often popular songs) used in a film
So, to use Risky Business that I mentioned earlier as an example, the inclusion of "In the air tonight" in the film at the start of the train scene is soundtrack, then it goes into TD's score. Relevant section of the film, which someone has helpfully put onto youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEcM2Eo9kBk

Oh, right. So "OST" is a bit misleading most of the time?Soundtrack = existing music (often popular songs) used in a film

Oh, you mean soundtrack?
Out of interest, no he didn't. He meant score. I write scores, I don't write soundtracks.Wiki says: "A film score (also sometimes called background music or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects"

The score is the original music written specifically for the film/Tv prog etc. The soundtrack is the entire 'soundtrack' including other music, sound FX etc. The Americans sometimes get confused about this talking about 'original soundtracks' (It's obviously original!).

Ah.Wiki says: "A film score (also sometimes called background music or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects"
It doesn't help, in addition to people using "OST", that googling "music scores" doesn't produce film scores but notes for music in general.
I liked both the soundtrack and the score written for Drive. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/

Go on then, blurt it out.
For me it's got to be Hans Zimmers Batman trilogy. However I think he really nailed it at around the 6 minute mark of this :
IMO not just for the music but also for the use of silence (seriously), it really adds to the tension particularly in the second film.For me it's got to be Hans Zimmers Batman trilogy. However I think he really nailed it at around the 6 minute mark of this :
One of my all time favourites is Solaris, without the soundtrack it would be nothing like as good a flick.
