The implication was that Max (James Woods) died in the trash truck-but it wasn't shown.
This. That movie (the legit, almost 4-hr version of it) still has one of the best and most confusing/heartwrenching endings ever, with De Niro's character (Noodles) hiding out in the opium theater. Takes a bunch of hits, lays back, and smiles as the credits roll. Damn I love that movie
Totally forget one, which must be appreciated within the context of the film, CEMETERY MAN.

Empire Strikes Back- Darth Vader's theme, Yoda's theme, Han and Leia's theme...
When Harry Met Sally- Harry Connick Jr.- timeless jazz standards
Living Out Loud -An ok movie, but an awesome soundtrack of jazz standards. Queen Latifah's rendition of Lush Life is one of the best I've heard. \
The Rocky Collection-The Training Montage in Rocky IV because it helps you believe chopping logs and lifting boulders can help you beat a 6 foot 5 Russian on roids.
Above the Rim and Nutty Professor
Off the top of my head and in no particular order:
Miracle
Bourne Supremacy
Dark Knight
The Island
Score or soundtrack? They're two different things.
For the latter:
A Bronx Tale
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Natural Born Killers
The Matrix
Trainspotting
Se7en
When Harry Met Sally
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Batman Forever (well, half of it, at least)
The Crow
anything by Guy Ritchie
anything by Tarantino
all mafia/gangster movies by Scorsese
anything by Wes Anderson
Had to echo my first response in this thread again, simply for the Last of the Mohicans score. I don't know if a theme can be both beautiful and bad-ass, but this almost pulls it off:
risky business--the music by tangerine dream is perfect for the movie and the time (early 80's).
Goddamn. I've been wanting to see this, was encouraged to even more the first time it was mentioned in this thread, and then everybody proceeds to give away every part of the ending.This.

You'll still enjoy it...it's 4 hours long so you'll forget what we said and get lost in the movie, imho.Goddamn. I've been wanting to see this, was encouraged to even more the first time it was mentioned in this thread, and then everybody proceeds to give away every part of the ending.

Well, I had just started to torrent it, moving along through the thread...and then canceled the download after the "dies in the truck" bits.
[sigh]
You never see, it's assumed, or you come up with your own conclusions...just like the ending. It's up for the viewer's interpretation. That's why it's a masterpiece

I guess I'll still give it a watch.
...aaaaaand re-download.
CF beat me to it, but the Crow is an epic soundtrack! Hackers was also great as well. For classical The Phantom Menace score was actually better than the movie itself.
