And the answer is?

Sorry, I owe you an answer.

As for me, favorite films. Ben-Hur score stands out definitely, and most of Miklos Rozsa scores. Also, Bernard Herrmann's work on film music, Psycho, North by Northwest, Fahrenheit 451, Sisters, Cape Fear, etc.

Not to mention the big tango in Vertigo.

Other films with good music: Rio Bravo, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Laura, The Magnificent Seven, Where Eagles Dare.

Gosh! There have been so many films with good scores it is difficult to choose. We certainly shouldn't forget Amadeus with Mozart's music. The scores to Lord of the Rings were particularly well done. There are also a host of melodic moments that have become iconic. For example when one hears the first four notes of the Tara theme from Gone With the Wind, the whole Margret Mitchell saga wells up.

Simply put, most movies would be really boring without music. The only ones that wouldn't started out as stage plays such as The Four Poster. It would probably be easier to list the movies with scores that did not work than to pick out those with scores that excelled, but I'll defer that task.
