IR's best for MR -- Idhayathai ThirudaadhE
Rahman's best for MR -- Thiruda Thiruda

and Karthi u know those are two junk movies from MR (compared to Anjali, MounaRagam, Roja)
- From: eden (@ 202.54.71.139)

MR is definitely one of the tops among film directors with great musical sense / taste! Of the movies that I've watched, rating is as below:
1. Nayakan (for `thenpAndi cheemayilE' song and the repeated use of this as BGM)
2. Anjali (Very novel music)
3. MounarAgam (soul-stirring music)
4. Dhalapathi (nallA IR'ai vElai vangirukkAru)
5. IT (iLamaiththuLLal)
The simple reason for not including any ARR movies is just that I haven't had a chance to watch any of them, though I like many of the songs..
Moreover, IMHO, MR never had any valid reason to switch the MD, when he was getting some of the best offerings in the world! Thus he was dropped from my personal fav list like BR and their movies no longer meant anything to me!

My top 5 movies of MR in terms of music :
1. Geethanjali (Telugu version) : This movie was better in Telugu. I saw both versions and liked the Telugu version better. Music in this movie is just haunting. The BGMs and songs (SPB , chitra, SJ have rendered the songs with so much life) blend with the movie perfectly. This movie was a mega hit in AP ( I was there then). Perfect 10 in terms of music. Even the cemetry song fits the movie !!
2. Idhaya Koil. A vast range of songs and some of them I think are IRs best to date. (Never been tired of the songs Paatu Thalaivan and Idhayam Oru Koyil)
3. Mouna Ragam. Great songs and soul stirring BGM.
4. Agni Nakshatram : Songs were the heart beat of the movie.
5. Anjali and Roja :
Anjali - Perfect when the plot circles around kids. A modern version of Shanti Nilayam.
Roja - For new sounds and wonderful melodies.
(Kadhal Rojave sounds fresh even today)
Of late, Uyire was the only one that had a blend of assorted songs.

No doubt.
Mouna raagam stands out.
This question will never be raised after listening to the BGMs from mouna raagam.

Mouna Ragam ..mouna ragam than...
Athal Ragam ...makkale mouna maake aakiram.
Mouna Ragam and Agni Natchatiram .. movie
and music that compile with quality , execelence
and beyond comparison and can stand the test of time. If you see both movie ..it can make you
emotional. This is because very good light work
and most important very good BGM.

1)Iruvar (Because it was very different from the music of the 90's)
2) Roja (New Original Sound and very refreshing)
3)Thiruda Thiruda
( Also these masterpieces by ARR wiped out the North South Divide ie before this albums North Indians never took music from the South seriously)

Iruvar is the greatest mani ratnam film. A brilliant docu-drama that ranks with Spike Lee's Malcolm X

Idhayathai Thirudathey has very very best BGM

Iruvar, undoubtedly!!
Best MR film and best music ever!!
- From: Kupps (@ atlwebproxy2.core.hp.com)
on: Mon Jul 30 23:50:03 EDT 2001
i would undoubtedly say Mouna Raagam as best among Mani's movies (direction plus music). Though the story is a old wine(nenjaththai kiLLaadhae) in an old bottle with a different label still it is the better bet.
If music alone is the point then Agni Nakshatram, Dhalapathy, Idhaya Koil, Roja and Thiruda Thiruda are my choices in the order.

I second Karthi's opinion..
IT and TT were musically superior compositions in terms of modernity and experimentation.

>>>Iruvar, undoubtedly!!

I second sridhar's opinion though I would consider mouna raagam also in the same league.
