Favorite Movie scores/music
Most moevies (except a few experimental ones) employ music to set the scene, play with our emotions, highten excitment, so forth and so on. So, the question is, whic movies and their score are your favorites? Any tunes that are just unforgetable?
For me: best score: The Mission
Last of the Mohicans (1990's version)
Most memorable songs: Jaws theme
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Imperial March.

I like it, but jaws is just so memorable...
John Williams must have made a pact with the devil.

One mustn't forget to mention scores by Vangelis. Particularly Chariots of Fire (ok film, good soundtrack), Blade Runner (great film, excellent soundtrack), and 1492: Conquest of Paradise (sucky film, great soundtrack).
Hans Zimmer's music tends to sound alike at places... the Crimson Tide theme is superb, as is Injection from the MI2 soundtrack (rest of the score sucks big though). The Rock's score is pretty good too.
Oh and the Imperial March is of course absolutely brilliant. 
I won't ramble about anime soundtracks here, though I should mention Kenji Kawai's score for the film Avalon (which is a live action film). Great orchestral pieces and ambient music.

Come on! While it is a good piece I could not place in my top 5! It especially not brilliant... Holst: The Planets
He totally ripped it off, though a lot of score writers do that... LEonard Bernstein was the exception.
Vangelis

Opening song from "Shrek": so mis-directional...

Wasn't that Smash Mouth - All Star?
Shrek soundtrack was great IMHO, both on it's own (rare for a film) and for effect during the film. Hallelujah and I'm a Believer being highlights for me

Actually I was refering to the relatively sappy sounding song that plays while Shrek is on the can reading the Fairy Tale, which is then interupted by his ripping out the page and performing various body functions: how incongrouous!
Regardless, I agree that the soundtrack is superior, and that the musical pieces really enhanced the scenes they were placed in!
