One that leaps out immediately: "Labyrinth". Just great David Bowie song after song, meanwhile I can't think of a single cue that stood out for me (except maybe that breif, although unreleased, piece at the end when she tells him he has no power over her) from Trevor Jones' dated [in a no-so-good way] synth score. I'm calling Labyrinth a draw. I can't imagine the film without either. And I like the 80's sound!

Rocky 4 Yikes, no! The score is amazing, some of the songs are good too, like Hearts On Fire and No Easy Way Out, but also some stinkers among the songs IMO.

THE INCRDIBLE SHRINKING MAN-80- Not much of a score but I loved that end theme song by SUZANNE CIANI, GALAXY GLUE. You mean The Incredible Shrinking Woman. I haven't seen or heard it, but I applaud Joel Schumacher for hiring Suzanne Ciani to do the score. She released some great albums on Private Music later in her career.

I pretty much hate films where they use songs to underscore scenes, rather than an orchestral score. The only example of a film where a song was better than the score, imo, is the film THE ODESSA FILE. Main Title is accompanied by "Christmas Dream", which is far better than the horrendous underscore that follows.

About every Michael Mann film. ??? Care to elaborate? Thief - no songs The Keep - no songs Manhunter - score better than songs LA Takedown - only 1 song, not better than score Last Of The Mohicans - Clannad song possibly better than score Heat - songs better The Insider - good songs, but quite good score too Ali - bad songs Collateral - songs not better than score Miami Vice film - score just as good as songs Public Enemies - ? So then, Last Of The Mohicans, Heat, and possibly The Insider has better songs than score. IMHO.
