Default Films with the best Sound Design

Which films which fully utilize the possibilities of sound design. Note: this has nothing to do with music.

Heres a few films that immediately come to mind for me:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Mulholland Drive
Lost in Translation
Children of Men
Apocalypse Now
There Will be Blood
L'Avventura
Red Desert
Eraserhead
Playtime
McCabe & Mrs. Miller
Nashville
Blow Out
The Conversation
Miami Vice
Babel (especially the club sequence)
Public Enemies
Heat

Yeah, there's a bunch of great sound effects in those films. I especially lose the sound design of the evil spirit's POV (accompanying those super fast tracking shots). Also all the creaky door sounds.

THX-1138 would get my vote for best sound design. Too bad the original is lost to the VHS wastelands for all eternity.

So on top of the special effects, Lucas altered the sound design? Yeesh.

When the bullets started thunking around the inside of the landing craft in Saving Private Ryan I knew we weren't in Foley, Kansas anymore.

I don't think Samsara counts. Nearly every second has score.
