I thought the music for The Last of the Mohicans was really stirring. Daniel Lanois did a great soundtrack for Slingblade, including The Maker which is one of my favorite songs. The music forBarry Lyndon, which was a mix of trad Irish tunes by The Chieftains, and classical pieces by (I believe)Handel, was very well done. The Sting had the great soundtrack of Joplin tunes. Easy Rider is an emotional pick and a snapshot of what great rock music was at the time. Edward Scissorhands had a very moody orchestral track, weird and beautiful. Listen to the soundtrack for The French Connection sometime, like a blend of free-form jazz and noise, it fits the action so well you barely notice it, which may be high complement of a kind.
