I have a bit of an obsession with the Interstellar sound track at the moment. I have skullcrusher headphones and the bass is so hefty that it vibrates if you have it set too high. When the organ parts kick in on that sound track it’s just great!
Per descriptions by Google AI for the difference between a score, a theme and a soundtrack:
A "film score" refers to the original instrumental music composed specifically for a movie, usually encompassing the background music that accompanies the entire film, while a "theme" is a distinct musical phrase within the score that represents a specific character, location, or idea, and a "soundtrack" is the compilation of all the music heard in a film, including the score, plus any additional songs or licensed music that might be featured in the movie.
There are some iconic themes out there, like the original Mission Impossible, but they are not scores. The problem sharing a score here, is by definition it could be quite long!
Lord of the Rings. Here the Fellowship theme. Howard Shore
Nolan's Batman Begins - this is the theme, Hans Zimmer
Pirates of the Caribean - another Zimmer, but he is good
The Good The Bad and the Ugly - Ennio Morricone

I should really get a copy of that, it's excellent.
Just been listening to the Gladiator OST.
It is hard to think of some that are not by John Williams, (Jaws, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones, Schindler's List, and Jurassic Park) or Hans Zimmer (The Lion King, Crimson Tide, The Rock, Gladiator, Blackhawk Down, The Last Samurai, afore mentioned Batman and Pirates, Interstellar...and so on)
Anyone that likes Zimmer...Check out Two Steps From Hell.
I have been listening to it so much that my Spotify daily mix suggestions are basically just film soundtracks now! I need to diversify for a bit but I do get obsessive for certain music for a while then drop it.
The Detectorists.
I do enjoy rewatching this as much for the pleasing if mundane story of men & women sweeping the ground for hidden history. Genuine warming feel good watching.
And a spot of music.

I thought you might have said dances with wolves
(No idea if that has a decent soundtrack!)
Two I'll never tire of.
Although, to be accurate, the main theme of the movie is "Promentory", an orchestration of the tune "The Gael" by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean from his 1990 album The Search.

Yes, it is good, I have it on my playlist for blotting out the noise of the office while at work.
