Well let see if we can get there...I'll start.

1.) The Warriors (clip NSFW due to language)

Side note, this intro has to be one of the best ever.

I've always liked the score to Wild Things, not only the main theme but all the music throughout the movie sets the tone perfectly. Here's the main theme, if you imagine skimming across the Florida everglades as this plays, it's pretty cool:

If I could have theme music it would be the above.

4) Phantasm -

I love Phantasm, but it would not have been half as good without it's brilliant musical cues. Admittedly, not the scariest ever but thanks to it's eerie score (Including the above main theme), a greatly directed piece of work.

Jerry Goldsmith's (initially unreleased) original score for Ridley Scott's LEGEND

The Burgomaster · October 28, 2008, 10:55:17 AM

First, hooray for Rev. Powell for mentioning ANATOMY OF A MURDER. Along the same lines, I would like to nominate:

13. THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM (a Frank Sinatra classic, and a great, sleazy performance by Darren McGavin).

Rev. Powell · October 28, 2008, 05:58:49 PM

14. ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS: Gil Evans, David Bowie, Ray Davies & Sade! Great soundtrack, mediocre film.
