Iron Man Tetsuo, B+W, japanese w/ subtitles, has quite the score if you like old style heavy AFX/industrial trashcan-beating 'IDM'. Worth watching anyway. I keep a DVD copy around as a litmus test. 5th Element also had sort of an IDM/ambient score. That bit with the techno opera shit kind of ruins it for me, though. Johnny Mnemonic has an Orbital song from the brown album on it. The Stallone 'Get Carter' remake has some IDM moments. But both of those movies suck eggs. There are also lots of independent flicks with techno/IDM-ish scores out there. Of course I can't remember any titles. IMO unless the director is trying to specifically make the setting appear bizarre/futuristic/super-hip, IDM intrudes more on my viewing experience than it influences the scene. It's used in car commercials to get your attention for a brief moment and induce a feeling of speed. Most IDM has way too much shit going on to be used for films.
