I like the John Williams Star Wars prognostication and it's one of the best ever. For film scores, Williams cannot be beaten. Jaws will definitely be up there as well.
Bernard Hermann's Psycho is indeed worthy of high placement too.
His work for Taxi Driver, not so much...haha. Although, the scene where Travis watches American Bandstand for nearly the entirety of Jackson Browne's "Late For The Sky" is cinematic genius. Scorsese uses music better than anyone, although Lynch is the best sound technician/engineer. And, of course, Angelo Badalamenti is no slouch.
However, Peter Gabriel's Passion: Music for the Last Temptation of Christ from another Scorsese movie is one you guys will forget because you don't know about it.
(No one was interested when I posted the alternate album some months back)
Then there's Scorsese's The Last Waltz which brings us to they oh so many concert movies with a soundtrack album: Woodstock, Monterrey Pop, Home of the Brave, Stop Making Sense, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, The Concert for Bangladesh, The Secret Policeman's Ball, it goes on & on...and The Wall is not my favorite Pink Floyd by any means, but it's a notable soundtrack for sure. I'm not sure if Live at the Hollywood Bowl (Doors, The Beatles, or Pink Floyd) was released as a theatrical film or not or if Live at Pompeii - Pink Floyd has a corresponding soundtrack album or not.
