There's so many good ones, and I don't know if I could pick a permanent top 3, but here would be a fairly recent top 3. I feel like these 3 (all fairly new movies) had scores that really elevated the movies:

1. Drive
2. Her
3. Interstellar

Not a "permanent" top 3, but I love them all

^^ Interstellar is a good one

Also really love LOTR and The Fountain. Beyond those two tgere are about a dozen I could think of for my third spot.

Interstellar is great but I think Inception is on another level ( no pun intended ).

So hard to narrow it down to 3, so I'll cheat as usual. :lol

Back to the Future - Any, although the first movie created a lot of the recognizable tunes used throughout the trilogy, so I guess I'll go with that
Star Trek 11 - Anything by Goldsmith or Horner is also a winner, although I don't have a full soundtrack of any of those movies to judge standalone)
James Bond - Quantum of Solace, Skyfall - Skyfall is the only soundtrack I have by Thomas Newman, but I love pretty much everything I have by David Arnold

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

It's almost unfair to say LotR, because those scores are just pure genius. But aside from that, it's really hard to choose. There are so many I love. The score for The Last Samurai does not get enough love, and is Hans Zimmer's best in my opinion, though Interstellar is amazing too. I adore the ambient feel of the Passion of the Christ score. And Life of Pi was fantastic too. So I don't even think I can choose three.

I only ever got the score to the first LOTR movie, and tbh it didn't do much for me.
Although I enjoyed it more when it was in the Lego LOTR game. :blob:

Fuck, this is hard.

Probably going to go with The Fountain (Clint Mansell ilu :heart ), Inception and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (the American version), but ask me again tomorrow and the list might be very different (though The Fountain would still top it, probably).

My list is just based off the top of my head and not based on deep reflection:

1. Lord of the Rings (trilogy, though The Two Towers is especially great)

2. Blade Runner

3. Godzilla 2014

Jaws

By the way are we rating the entire scores released for the movie or just the iconic themes that people remember?

I was only judging soundtracks that I own separately and have listened to as albums.

Now that James Horner has passed on - I wonder who is going to score Avatar ?

My picks would be : Alan Silvestri, Hans Zimmer or Michael Giacchino

I think Silvestri is better when he does smaller things. And ket's give Zimmer a rest for once. He's great, but he doesn't have to be in everything.

Out of those three, I think Giacchino would be the best choice.

1. Star Wars: A New Hope (Main Title, Cantina Theme, Binary Sunset, and Throne Room are all iconic.)

2. LOTR: The Two Towers (I don't know why this doesn't get more love:  Foundations of Stone, The White Rider, Helms Deep, Breath of Life, Forth Eorlingas, Samwise the Brave, etc.)

3. The Crow (Graeme Revell, not the alternative rock soundtrack, which was very popular at the time; Remembrance, Pain and Retribution, On Hallowed Ground, etc.; maybe hurt by the fact that elements were reused in the subsequent awful, low-budget sequels' film scores, which I think only the second film's score was ever released.)
