There Will Be Blood has the most intense musical score I have ever heard.

The original Rocky will always top my list...
Titanic was pretty decent too...

I like James Horner very much and he started relatively young. I like he reboot of the themes for the Star Trek movies. However he has been accused of being a theif
I also like Jerry Goldsmith very much (RIP) and there is no correlation to his work on Star Trek in forming my opinion. In fact I don't like Star Trek all that much. Rambo, The Edge and Hoosiers being some of the favorites

Like it or not (I liked it) it was definitely intense. Captured the sound of dirt and heat in the desert perfectly.

Tough - lots of great scores - here's my list:
1) Star Wars - especially Episode 4 - to this day it plays end to end like a major symphonic piece rather then a series of themes - no weak spots. New trilogy is not nearly as good end to end, but Dual of the Fates is a keeper. Lucas better be sending Williams a huge check every week for the rest of his life. This music made it all work.
2) The Mission - exceptional and haunting - rises above the very good movie it was made for - especially 'Gabriel's Oboe' and 'On Earth as it is in Heaven'.
3) Schindler's List - that theme hits me in the gut every time
4) LOTR - best fantasy score hands down
5) Indiana Jones - not as strong musically as the others, but so incredibly iconic
Honorable Mentions: Lawrence of Arabia (the granddaddy of epic scores); Glory (so darn good), Titanic (good, although it's oversaturated today); Willow (was best fantasy score until LOTR); Jaws (nuff said); Rocky (same); Chariots of Fire, Hunt for Red October, Jurassic Park...the list goes on...
EDIT: Ok, forgot E.T. and esp. Close Encounters - those have to be on the list somewhere...
