For some reason, I always loved the score from Predator. When Ahhhnold is putting on the mud and setting his booby-traps before the big showdown, that music always gets me going.

Legends of the Fall
Braveheart
Pearl Harbor
The Rock
The Last Samurai
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End
Terminator/Terminator 2
Gladiator
Lord of the Rings (Extended - All 3)
Medal of Honor Soundtracks

Star Wars Themes = John Williams ripped theme from Holst's "The Planets" (1977)

Superman Themes = John Williams tweaked Star Wars themes for it (1978)

Indiana Jones Themes = John Williams combined and mixed the two previous for this one (1981)

Still like all of the above though.

I think this is not really an accurate way to measure scores though. There are many pieces of scores that I love but I don't like them in their entirety.

Trevor Rabin composes plenty of these:

Gone in 60 seconds
The One
Con Air

Horrible Scores in all but they have a few excellent movements.

Dances with Wolves, and basically anything John Barry does. Goldfinger is actually another great score of his.

Bridge on the River Kwai by Sir Malcolm Arnold is probably my second favorite score.
