The score in Heat stands out to me, Moby's music just seemed to fit the film so well.
Also the mix of opera and 80's Jean Michel Jarre synth in 'The Year of Living Dangerously' was great. Still haven't worked out why there isn't some remix of L'enfant.
Also have a softspot for the scores in Shallow Grave and Trainspotting, as they seemed to be amongst the first mainstream UK films to use pacey dance music at a time when I was clubbing and liostening to the same.

Yes Heat is very good. I really like the music played when Hanna is in the helicopter and gets into the car to chase down McCauley on the freeway. "New dawn fades" or something I think it is called.

In the same film Moby's god moving over the face of waters is used to great effect at the end.

The Insider.
Lisa Gerrard just does something for me (not like that) on film scores. Also on the scores of Man on Fire, GLadiator, Layer Cake.

+1 for Amelie Moon & then add. Oceans Eleven The Draughtsmans Contract (which is a VERY strange film.) and then this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYRwj6XieKYDarkly sinister. Which doesn't really make sense at the begining. But when you hear "He says he saw the devil in the harbour, killing many men..."

Once Upon a Time in the West. It's not a theme, it's not a tune. It's a mini opera using leitmotif and given greater importance than the dialoge.
Many films employ similar methods to the score, Star Wars being my second favourite, but this film is the best.

Anything Michael Nyman did for any of Greenaways films. And Wonderland, by Michael Winterbottom.

I think it's either Howard Shore's score for Silence of the Lambs or Nino Rota's for the Godfathers in top spot. But then I think of many others already mentioned that are also great. Most recently I've found the scores to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight brilliant too, but they've been dulled by noticing a few other scores sounding very similar from both Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard in other films. Mind you, the same is true of John Williams and his are hardly crap - to pick a single one of his, it would be The Empire Strikes back and not solely for the Imperial March.

Glad there is some more Clint Fans, 'Dead reckoning' at the end of Smokin' Aces was pretty good as well. I like Brian Eno, this piece on Top Gear was pretty spectacular. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVsyQdFrLZgSorry, I know it's not a film, but as this is PH I thought it would be welcome.
