I think that <b>American Beauty</b> has the best score. It just bugs me that so many movies/commercials afterwards started copying the music.

Make that American Beauty. Ahh, much better. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Alas, I can only think of three brilliant scores that come to mind:

HALLOWEEN
STAR WARS
RAVENOUS (that score stayed in my head for days...sometimes I still catch myself humming it...)
