I really like the score to the 70's film Days of Heaven.  It's got a lot of acoustic guitar work by Leo Kottke.

The Holy Mountain has a really great score. "City of Freedom" is now one of my mixtape staples.

Ennio Morricone says it all not just the weterns, but his crime ones are just as fantastic.

Also I really like the soundtrack to Blow Up by Mr Herbie Hanccock

I love the opening credits of that with the old photos and St Saens' "The Aquarium" playing.

Ak! I was about to add Suspiria! 

A friend and I were actually talking about that score via email recently, and he made me laugh when he wrote: "That movies lives and dies by 'NA NA NA NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA NA NA NA - *witches* - NA NA NA NA...'"

I just finally saw this over the weekend and I agree that it is excellent.

I like the Nino Rota scores for various Fellini films.  "Juliet Of The Spirits" comes to mind.

For those of you that do like the Zed & Two Noughts sndtrck, you ought to check out And Do They Do/Zoo Caprices by Michael Nyman & Alexander Balanescu.  It's great.

Don't forget synthesizer specialist Giorgio Moroder's 1983 Golden Globe nominated score for Scarface.

Kind of an obvious one, but still a favorite of mine:



The Phillip Glass score for Koyaanisqatsi. If you can get the import (cover looks like picture above), do it. It is a re-recording, so subtle differences exist. But the benefit is that it includes "Organic", which is missing in the original 1983 version.

Cool topic.

Ry Cooder- Paris, Texas  (slide guitar desert music)
Robin Gutrie- Mysterious Skin (mellow shoegazery guitar stuff)
Air- The Virgin Suicides (spooky analog keyboards)
George Delerue- Jules et Jim (gorgeous)

My favorite Ennio Morricone is Once Upon a Time in the West.  Just killer stuff.

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis also did the soundtrack to The Proposition. Nick wrote the movie, so natch.

I really liked it.
