+1 for oblivion

Tron Legacy (it was in a clip, but deserves further mention).

Maybe those aren't your regular synthbased-scores, but they are amazing and i listen to them all the time.

Names Vladimir Martynov, Eduard Artemyev, Alexei Rybnikov
About films titles, unfortunately, many do not exist in IMDb, and it is difficult to say how it will be written in English

a few examples:

"Secret of the Third Planet" and "Dream" would be the translations, don't know if the titles in English would be the same.

The big Aelita is the one analog synth I still long for (would love some homemade tube modules of course).

There's great synth stuff from all over the formerly socialist regions- heard some great Czech stuff too.

Flight of the Navigator has an all-Synclavier soundtrack, the first AFAIK. '80s ueber-digital at its finest.

Educating Rita has an entirely synthetic soundtrack, perhaps the very first sampled-orchestral soundtrack, very interesting to listen to.

The first Planet of the Apes and Boorman's Zardoz (Sean Connery in red vinyl diaper/bikini!) do NOT have synth soundtracks, which is just as interesting from a sound-design standpoint, because they're trippy as shit.

Sorry, of course, I did not mean that the titles can not be translated into English. But more about that many works (except perhaps the most popular) do not have an official translation (and will be of little use to mention their names, in the form of a self-made translation).

And nobody has mentioned the one that started it all? That would be Clockwork Orange. The soundtrack was not 100% synthesizer, but that which was synthesizer was as important a contributor to the impact of the movie as anything else in it.

And as long as we're talking about Vangelis, let's not forget Chariots of Fire either.

As important as it was, it didn't give me chills:
