Your Favorite Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of the 00s

I hope I have the terminology correct, because I don't give a shit about compilations of previously released pop songs - I mean scores. I'm not a rabid fan of movie scores or anything, but I like them well enough. I thought this might be an interesting Best ___ of the 00s thread.

I'd say my favorite of the decade is probably Steven Soderberg's Solaris by Cliff Martinez.

I also enjoyed:

The Fountain (Clint Mansell)
The Cell (Howard Shore)
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (Tan Dun)

Code 46 - Free Association

nothing like the other free association albums, but a wonderful combination of layered/processed guitars, and electronic ambience.

Elmer Berstein - Far from Heaven

Without a doubt, Naked Lunch's soundtrack to Universalove. A stunning mix of songs and instrumentals that merge mesmerisingly with the tenderness and desperation at the heart of this film.

*Eternal Sunshine of the Mind (excellent combination of pop hits and Jon Brion's scratchy instrumentals)
*Spirited Away (Joe Hisaishi is sentimentalism at best, Sixth Station is soo beautiful)
*Big Fish (Danny Elfman is usually quality, Milk for example)
*Buffalo '66 (both the Gallo & the Yes stuff)
*Me and You and Everyone We Know (i guess i just like quirky)
*Gone Baby Gone (especially the first 10 minutes or something)
*Grizzly Man (probably best thing Thompson did this decade, i don't like his recent solo stuff)
*Half Nelson (Broken Social Scene!)

ok Half Nelson doesn't really count i guess because it's mostly a pop compilation. the majority of the rest is stuff composed for the movie.

I'll add another nomination for Eternal Sunshine, plus Jonny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood. Although its overshadowed by the movie's pop, I like Mothersbaugh's score for Royal Tenenbaums too.
