Most powerful music in a film My vote goes for Once upon a time in West
That music is just breathtaking and makes 80% of the greatness of the movie. Without it, it would have been just an average western. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Maybe cause I just watched it but,
"Crimes of Passion" has a very strong soundtrack throughout the movie. Rick Wakeman did a great job with the music I had to buy the CD. | |

...Laura (just because I love the Johnny Mercer/David Raskin song) Both the soundtrack and film are on my to-get list. Superb! I've already stated a few times in different threads that Gene Tierney is the most beautiful woman in film. 
I'll post my actual selections another time when I'm not sleepy.  | |

I agree. That is a fantastic one. Speaking in general terms, I think the genres of noir and melodrama, by their very nature, had the best scores. Musical score was essential to their success as a film. | |

...especially the part where Gertie meets E.T., this soundtrack is perfect. | |

you're right, now that I think about it. They did have great scores Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity....though I don't really pay attention to the scores because that's not my cup of tea, I doubt a score could make me like any of the Dashiell Hammett movies (yes, I don't like the Maltese Falcon) but on a whole Film Noir always sounded great.  | |

Un Homme et une Femme
the title track by Francis Lai is one of the most enduring and memorable I can think of, it sets the whole tone for the film, quite excellent. | |

The soundtrack for "Donnie Darko" is extraordinary and hugely overlooked...and I don't mean the 80's songs..lol (although those are excellent in their choice and placement as well, especially "Mad World" at the end...brilliant).
Michael Andrews does an excellent job of creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere throughout the movie...listen to "The Artifact & Living" or to "Manipulated Living"...fantastic work.  | |

Can We Still Be Friends in Vanilla Sky after he smothers Penelope gave me chills the first 8 times I saw it. | |

The opening scenes on the original"The Planet Of The Apes". All that expressionist orchestral music complimenting the desert shots. Strangely enough, not even Danny Elfman could top it on the remake. | |

Beautiful indeed. However, in her younger days... 
...Lauren Bacall could've given her a run for her money.
