I've decided to increase my film score and soundtrack collection. Which are the best?

Someone could turn this into a Match-Cut top soundtrack thing if they wanted to... but I certainly don't have the energy for it. However, consider this a nomination thread for now.

Not sure if we've done this before or not.

We did a top-scores thing a while back:

Ahh k, I thought we had but I couldn't find it in my cursory search. Thanks.

In that case let's make this a soundtrack thread (may have already done that as well). Although if someone thinks of a good original score which wasn't nom'd in the first thread feel free to mention that as well.

Just watched it, but Mishima has a fantastic score. It may be Philip Glass' best.
