Without truly understanding a definition of hypnotic on a personal basis, these are some scores that zen me out.
The aforementioned Isham's NEVER CRY WOLF, but also the other two Isham scores on his CD FILM MUSIC: MRS. SOFFEL, and THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HARVEY MILK.
One might try Chris Young's BRIGHT ANGEL and HAUNTED SUMMER.
Thomas Newman's DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN
Thomas Newman's LESS THAN ZERO

A lot of the scores I would have said are already mentioned.
I'm loving the Deluxe Edition of The Haunting by JG. I can put it on and crack open a book and get lulled off into a dream world pretty quickly, with the exception of the carousel music and a few bombastic moments at the end. Medicine Man has a very similar effect on me.
Edward Scissorhands also has a similar effect though only in bits and pieces.

I have some real love in my heart for Brian Tyler's The Killing Room -- which, aside from one brief (and very scary) moment, really puts you into a a heavy, dank, hypnotic state.
A couple others:
If Beale Street Could Talk (Britell)
The Revenant (Sakamoto, et. al.)
A Life In Suitcases (Krzisnik)
Cheyenne Autumn (North) (as long as you ignore the honky tonk comedy section in the middle!)
Abzu (Wintory) (it's a video game score, but absolutely 100% worth your time! Truly incredible)
Che (Iglesias)
Most Cronenberg / Shore collaborations -- notable ones for me are Crash, Dead Ringers, Maps To The Stars, and Cosmopolis
Dolores Claiborne / The Girl On The Train (Elfman)
Monos (Levi)
Haunting Villisca (Nielsen)
Thriller (Goldsmith)
House of Cards (Beal) (only works if you can disassociate yourself from the show -- could give you some real life creeps otherwise)
Monos (Levi)
King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword (Pemberton)
All The Presidents Men (Shire)
The Lost Weekend (Rozsa)
Almost any Michael Small score -- notable ones for me are Klute, The Driver, and Audrey Rose
Macbeth (Kurzel)
How Green Was My Valley / The Greatest Story Ever Told (Alfred Newman)
A Journey To Eden / Los Mundos Sutiles (Gaigne)
The Tenant (Sarde)
Moon (Mansell)
Ran (Takemitsu)
The Ascent (Schnittke)
Winged Migration (Coulais)
The Master (Greenwood)
Submergence (Velazquez)
The Twilight Zone / The Alfred Hitchcock Hour (Herrmann)
The Gambler (Fielding)
Most Trent Reznor + Atticus Ross scores. Gone Girl and TGWTDT comes straight to mind
The Long Goodbye / Always (Williams)
The Matrix Trilogy film scores (Davis) (these scores put me into a trance I can't really explain -- they're all GREAT)
Earth II (Schifrin)
Twin Peaks (Badalamenti)
Under The Silver Lake (Disasterpiece)

My first two choices among scores for lulling, hypnotic qualities are Philip Glass's POWAQAATSI and Goldsmith's BASIC INSTINCT.
I downloaded Powaqaatsi a few months back but have never listened to much past the first track. Decided to give it a listen today and it's fantastic! Such happy music!
I also have Koyaanisqatsi but I haven't even started that one. Looking forward to it now!
