44) Excalibur (1981) Richard Wagner.

Although they chose to use a lot of Wagner, it's worth pointing out that it's Carl Orff who steals the show musically.

[Psycho Circus]

46. Labyrinth [1986]

[Rev. Powell]

47.  The End of Violence



Ry Cooder's solo slide guitar provided most of the soundtrack.  The terriffic soundtrack album features songs from Roy Orbison, Eels, Tom Waits, Los Lobos, etc. that either didn't make it into the film or were just heard in background snippets.  It would make the list just based on Cooder's score, but the album is a bonus.  (The movie is VERY bad, pretentious and boring, though.)

50. Tourist Trap, by Pino Donaggio (Spoilers in video)

No one underlying theme, but a mix of the odd, the demeted, the ambiant, the touching, and several more melodies that combine to form a score that well matches the sheer weirdness of it's film.

51.  O brother, where art thou?

The only movie I've ever seen that made me go out and buy the soundtrack album the same afternoon.

54.)Lost Highway. More than 10 years later this album still has something for everyone while having almost no throwaway tracks. Party, ambience, jazz, metal...

[Rev. Powell]

55.  Even more Bernard Hermann: VERTIGO

I love the orchestral music but Huey Lewis had two of his best songs in the film. 

[Psycho Circus]
