All of them- anything I put on to listen to.
The only reason I would not listen that way is something I put on when I go to bed. I'm often out well before the end of the album.

As much as I love Shore's LOTR trilogy I'm not going to play 3 CDs of Fellowship of the Ring all in one sitting.
Still do love Shore's LOTR scores and I have to say that listening to them in sequence makes a day of work go by so much more quickly!

Work is a great place to listen to new film scores.
In terms of whittling down scores I do that with movie series. I have individual compilation playlists for the series of James Bond, Lethal Weapon, Star Wars, and Back to the Future. I also have the individual scores to each film in their own playlist. I’d say my Lethal Weapon compilation gets the most playtime out of all in that category.
Props for those who brought up Blade Runner. Legendary score for me personally.

Really happy to see the expected trend that most people's selections have a classical architecture, a progressive storytelling quality, a worthwhile payoff, or a generally pleasing vibe.
I had selected BEVERLY HILLS COP more for the fun vibe, but it also does a good job of varying things to let the music keep developing. Someone else posted BLADE RUNNER, COWBOY BEBOP and HOLLOW KNIGHT I'm also assuming more for the vibe, and there are definitely videogame scores (referring to HOLLOW KNIGHT) I listen to a lot for their background ambience.
A few people also brought up how there are scores where they skip certain tracks and that was definitely my reason for leaving some scores out of the list. TITANIC is one of those where certain cues I like but some of the more ambient stuff can be a bit overbearingly dreary. Same for A BRIDGE TOO FAR where I generally like all the marching stuff but when it comes to the slower, sad cues I want to skip past those.
Other notes people brought up are the sequencing of cues, which is why I listed YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. As that album currently is, it's a bit of a jumble to listen to, but once you edit the album to be in movie sequence I find it flows a lot better.
I think in general that sense of flow and progression is really important for a score.

I do tend to skip around a lot to find certain tracks.
However, I can listen to Williams' JANE EYRE all the way through the CD.
Yeah, there are a lot of scores I listen to and skip around - I'm usually trying to find a certain mood or get my fix of a particular song or melody. But there are definitely consistent albums I return to for when I want to focus on uninterrupted listening.

Happy to see Blade Runner get a proper shout out a few times here. Vangelis’ best work in my opinion. And a really iconic score as well. I kept it off my list because there is one track I often hit skip to or I would have added it. Blade Runner Blues is great to drive to in the rain. I also want to say Tears in Rain is one of the few tracks where I am glad they added the dialogue in. I don’t know if I would like the track as much without Rutger’s epic monologue.
