Hans Zimmer's "The Lion King". Nothing comes close to the 4 instrumental tracks in the album (there are a few exceptions) and it was enough to guarantee him an oscar.

Very effective. The joker's theme in particular has a remarkable menace to it, and the way Harvey's theme gets warped as he does is nicely done. A friend of mine criticised the main Batman score as 'forever building to a crechendo that never comes' or something like that.
Imagine Star Wars without that bombastic score? It'd suck. The film depends on the score to play the audience. It's hardly the best score ever, but if he just means it's his favourite, sure, why not?
Requiem for a Dream - Clint Mansell
Virgin Suicides - Air
Marie Antoinette - V.A.
Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain
Goodbye Lenin - Both Yann Tiersen
Berlin Calling - Paul Kalkbrenner
Requiem for a Dream has a hell of a soundtrack. A little repetitive, but one of the most distinctive things I've heard in a long time. I've never seen the film, but I understand it's quite effective as a score too.
A friend of mine has the entire tubular bells album, and 'treated' a group of us to it on a long car journey to a football match. It's not awful. It's used very well in the movie though.
