Also the original <em>Get Carter</em> has a really cool soundtrack. I actually rented the movie just because of the soundtrack, but the movie is great, too. Oh, and the <em>Flash Gordon</em> soundtrack. Maybe the best reason to watch that movie. 2 other scores that came to mind, both are descriptive of and inseparable from the movies they appear in: The Odd Couple and The Pink Panther.

The songs definitely helped define those movies. I think a key aspect to any list of great scores/soundtracks is that you leave the movie with the music wedged in your brain. Of the list from above, the only movies that I can remember having this effect on me are <em>Paris, Texas</em>, <em>American Beauty</em>, and <em>La Dolce Vita</em>. There's actually a really minor scene in an early Simpsons episode (I think it's the one with the murderous babysitter) in which Homer is shaving/prepping for an evening out with Marge and humming/scatting the theme from <em>La Dolce Vita</em>.

Carter Burwell and Harold Faltermeyer are <em>both</em> great movie composers. I also left out Mark Mothersbaugh's work on <i>Bottle Rocket</i> and <i>Rushmore</i>. Great choices.
