Firstly, cool thread idea.
Hmm.. having trouble thinking of scores, but for themes the first that spring to mind are 'Get Carter' and 'Seven Samurai'... I think people underestimate how a film can live or die on it's score and general soundtrack - 'Alien' ofcourse had everything in place to make it unforgettable.

More recently Jonny Greenwood's score for 'There Will Be Blood' really took me aback. 'Ghost Dog' had a great hip hop score.

I just have no love for the generic 64-piece orchestra John Williams epic blockbuster toss - and every other large scale release these days seems to have doomy choirs.

I still really like the Gladiator score. Hans Zimmer is fairly refreshing.

And I finally got to hear There Will Be Blood, it's pretty awesome. I wonder why he never got to do that kind of stuff with Radiohead?

I really loved the percussive parts that built tension, but what the hell was with the cheesy horror movie strings????

they were cacophonous and unsettling to me, it wasn't exactly Psycho

I can't think of a Kubrick movie with a bad score - Shining, Full Metal Jacket (the final scene, what sounds like a heavy table being scraped across the floor of an amphitheatre), Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut (the scene where Cruise is being stalked to at creepy two-note piano phrase)

The soundtrack to No Country For Old Men was pretty interesting.
