Which movie(s) do you think has the best soundtrack?
I think American Psycho has a good soundtrack and I listen to it occasionaly.
The Matrix
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Forest GumpO Brother is great for some classic folk.
+1 for The Matrix. I once watched the film at a theater where the music was played live by an orchestra. One of my favorite movie experiences of all time. The soundtrack is incredible.
Batman Forever
No one mentioned Donnie Darko yet? Fanatic soundtrack.
I know you said movies, but a soundtrack for a show I’m hooked on currently is Legion (FX/Marvel, on Hulu). The whole entire show has an amazing cast to begin with, but Jeff Russo (Fargo, Star Trek Discovery, more) and Noah Hawley put together one hell of a score. I highly recommend it and the show.
Could not agree more, Legion has an absolutely amazing score/soundtrack. The Bolero scene? Legendary.
Since you’ve broadened it out to TV, I’ll use that as an excuse and mention that I think Nicholas Britell’s score for Andor is pretty cracking too.
Once upon a time the west. (Ennio Morricone)
Blade runner (Vangelis)
The Scream 3 soundtrack is one of my favorites and was my introduction to System of a Down.
Dazed and Confused
Most people, as evidenced by the comments, don’t know the difference between soundtrack and score. Either that or they DO know the difference and are choosing to answer as if they didn’t.
Then give us some of your pieces as comparison
Can’t believe no-one mentioned The Crow…
It can’t rain all the time.
Akira(1988)
The soundtrack compliments the action so well.

Too much of ambience songs.
Personally I prefer more structured pieces like Battle against Clown or the OST of Tron:LegacyI just gave it a listen through, and yes I am remembering it for Kaneda’s Theme.
Seeing that scene on the big screen in '88 has not been topped as the most electric cinematic experience, for me.
Lots of good ones here, I’ll add some that haven’t been mentioned: Sahara, Rango, both Sherlock Holmes movies, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, the JJ Abrams Star Trek’s, The Incredibles, Godzilla 2014, The Road to El Dorado
Monsoon Wedding
Lord of the Ringa
Godzilla 1998 Varsity Blues
I’m not seeing Oppenheimer mentioned , perhaps I’m in the minority here.
Watched Blade Runner 2049 2 days ago. Had a very good soundtrack but I wouldnt just listen to it just.
Personal favorites:
Tron: Legacy
Pacific Rim
