good shouts on the Jarmusch movies! Would also like to add H.E.A.T. which contains some decent moby tracks.

Score - Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass (Vessels is my favourite piece of music EVER)
Soundtrack - 2001: A Space Odyssey
Kubrick got Alex North to write a full score and used random classical pieces as guides for editing but ended up rejecting his whole score and just using the guide pieces instead. North wasn't told and only found out when he attended the first screening
Composer fact - Hans Zimmer composed the theme to the 90s quiz show Going For Gold

Hans Zimmer overall treats composition like a production line in a factory. It's the most soul less uncreative take on film music composition really.
but Lion King!
Inception soundtrack (along with a lot of his others) are over-rated to fuck though lol
Blade Runner's the best soundtrack ever imo, agreed with joeki on Rachel's Song being amazing, as well as Love Theme. agreed with wolf on Alien too, great soundtrack
