Lotr: FOTR is pretty damn good.
The Shining is cool and scary.
Close Encounters is John Williams' best.
Conan the Barbarian is hyper-macho and cool.
Rushmore perfectly fits the movie.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly is unbelievably good.
The Princess Bride has a great score by Mark Knopfler.
Jo Hisaishi's work is astoundingly good in all of Miazaki's movies. I like Sprited Away and Nausicaa the best.
