Call me lowbrow if you must, Jonathan Richman`s songs interspersed throughout There`s Something About Mary pretty much make the movie for me.

Zappa's 200 Motels, Herrmann's Psycho. I recently heard some of the soundtrack to this film noir called "Dementia", by the iconoclast American composer George Antheil, and was floored (although he outright stole sections from Rite Of Spring!)

My votes:
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Jon Brion
- The English Patient
- Scrooge - Leslie Bricusse (lonnnnnng OOP, dangit)
- AI - John Williams - I could hardly believe this was him when I saw the credits--I usually associate him with more over the top, blockbuster themes, but this was really subtle and beautiful--really helped make the movie work.
- Gizmo! - various artists. OK, there's no album for this, but all those funky, 70s, one-hit-wonder type pop songs were great. And those artists vanished in obscurity. Plus--what a fun little film. Nearly impossible to find.

Same here. Standard Williams only works for me about 40% of the time, but his AI score was very restrained and haunting.
