absolute best: solaris (tarkovsky version)--just astonishing.
i prefer films with lots of silence.
i have a sentimental attachment to the soundtrack from liquid sky
seconding trickyy's mention of dead man.
the worst: winged migration (overwhelmingly crappy music made oll the worse because the filmmakers keep using it over bird songs, which were often mindblowing)
koyanasqatsi (spelling is mangled)---anything featuring philip glass, for that matter. i do not understand why he is famous.
anything featuring john williams, who i blame for the whole overorchestrated sub wagnerian bombast that infects big budget hollywood films. i loathe his music like few things on this earth.
