They were asking this on BBC's Five Live film review program this past month, some interesting responses from listeners. Anything from "About a Boy"'s soundtrack by Badly Drawn Boy to Bernard Herrmann (for many a Hitchcock). I'd have a hard time choosing a score but Herrmann's would definitely be up there -- for North by Northwest, Psycho, Vertigo, etc, as well as Taxi Driver. Of newer movies, Hans Zimmer's score for Inception is certainly getting talked about a lot. What are your faves?

Soundtrack consists of the pieces of previously composed music put together for the movie, usually songs (like Rolling Stones songs on a Scorsese soundtrack)... But who cares -- what films have had great music?
