Some rather mediocre to bad movies have phenomenal scores... Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth - Golden Age and Armageddon for example would definately be in my TOP 25 list.

FYC, easily one of the best film scores ever written, despite the terrible film it was from.

 

Lady In the Water - JNH

It's too bad TV Shows aren't eligible.

Seriously, this score is just incredible. It's never boring and really captures the midwest through its blaring brass lines and open intervals between them. My favorite score of all time. Maybe not the best, but its my favorite.

Definitely check out Conan the Barbarian and Last of the Mohicans. The Mission's score is good, but it's really just a great main theme.

[baumer]

For your consideration....horror movies are often over looked but the score in some of classics is absolutely incredible

Is Mission Impossible eligible?
