Best musical score ever? If not, who?

Vangelis's score makes this truly transcendant. I myself have seen many films and have yet to hear a more beautiful mix of picture and sound as here.
Robbed of an oscar. Better than the year's contenders... better than most scores in film history too. Any other contenders for the title?

Cliff Eidelman made a better score for Christopher Columbus: The Discovery.

For me, the best musical score ever is Conan the barbarian, but 1492 is solidly among the five bests.

Definitely number 1.

Possibly the greatest soundtrack ever, in my opinion. Truly beautiful.

it's up there, really elevates the movie to a higher level

i probably wouldn't have enjoyed this movie at all if it wasn't for the music

so many movies, so little time
