Best Film Score (soundtrack, metal, genre, Radiohead, French)

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.
