Hello,
I'm no movie head, which is why I'm turning to this list. What would you
pick as some reference/quality film soundtracks produced in the last
decade or so?
If I can be make a slightly left-field suggestion, I'd check out some
video game soundtracks -- some modern games have really beautiful
orchestral soundtracks. One particular favourite from the last few
years is the Garry Schyman's soundtrack to the Bioshock games, which has
a frightening, disturbed beauty to it.
There's a great podcast that deals with video game soundtracks, called
Top Score, which features interviews with the composers. It's well worth
a listen:

The Bioshock episode with Garry Schyman is here:
