Tokyo S.O.S.
I love, love, love all of Oshima's work (in the Godzilla series and beyond) and would rate her, in my personal opinion as the second best composer in the entire series. Her third Godzilla score however, takes the best of the themes she composed for Megaguirus and Mechagodzilla, adds in a slick new Mothra cue and ramps it all up to 11, while still maintaining the nice personal and quiet interludes that I like so much.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Film Score
Although I prefer her freshman Godzilla effort, there's no doubt that Tokyo SOS has a more emotionally-rich soundtrack, especially the end credits (which I've told people that I'd like to be played at my funeral).akanes_kiryu wrote:Tokyo S.O.S.

Re: Favorite Godzilla Film Score
Tough choice, but the GMK score has to take favorite status for Godzilla's theme alone. I also love all of Oshima's work, especially in SOS. In addition, I actually liked quite a bit of the score for Final Wars. It may have been too music-video like, but it was unique, and Godzilla's theme, once again, kicked ass (Gigan's too). Oh, and Beginning of the End was AWESOME, though I'd attribute that more to Akira Ifukube than anyone else.

Godzilla 2000 (including the US version of it). I'm not sure why but I've always loved the score for this film. I think it's the darkness of it.
