I don't know if this is the technical definition, but to me "soundtrack" means a collection of (mostly) already existing music put together for a film/TV series, whereas "score" means original compositions for the film/TV series (often sans-lyrics). That said, the soundtrack/score for musicals are typically original, and are often titled "Original Soundtrack"/OST, so I'm not sure...
My favorite musical film soundtrack score would be
Or... soundtracks from any of Warren Miller's ski documentaries, but in particular Higher Ground: Link
There's some fantastic stuff in here, and if you like skiing/snowboarding or extreme sports in general I'd highly recommend a watch. In particular the use of Damien Rice's "Eskimo" for backcountry Alaska skiing is INCREDIBLE. That starts around the 4 minute mark, but the highlights are in the 6-7 minute range. _________________ 51 Washington, D.C. albums!
Most of my favourites have already been mentioned. OG Twin Peaks, Ascenseur Pour L'Échafaud, OG Blade Runner, Morricone (I prefer A Few Dollars More score, but The Thing, The Good... , Days Of Heaven, Hateful Eight and some others are close), Mica Levi, Vince Guaraldi, Baby Driver, Into The Wild, Superfly and the recent ones like The Queen's Gambit, Chernobyl and Uncut Gems.
If you haven't heard Julee Cruise's solo album which features a lot of Twin Peaks songs, that's a good rec. As is Fire Walks With Me score.
While we're talking about soundtracks, one of my least favorite movies that others seem to like is No Country for Old Men. Which...doesn't have any music at all. I think for that reason I found it very unsettling the whole way through. Shows how important music is in a movie for me. _________________ 51 Washington, D.C. albums!
