I don't buy to many movie soundtracks but here are a two of my fav's.

Reservoir Dogs (listing to it right now, the movie is awsome and the soundtrack is just as good. Cool 70's stlye music, nice to kick back on the deck and open some vino.)


Singles soundtrack (The movie sucks but the soundtrack is great. If your a fan of the early seattle alternative sound this is a must have.)

What else is good?

I got the Shrek (original) soundtrack on CD for Rufus Wainright's cover of 'Halleluja' by Leonard Cohen.

There is also always this

Pulp Fiction
The Matrix
Dumb & Dumber
The Lost Boys

Another vote for The Matrix, and Pulp Fiction.

Two more: Kill Bill 1&2, Forrest Gump, The Falcon and the Snowman (for you Metheny fans).

Grease baby!!!

Ok...I am joking

The Lost Boys

That INXS and Jimmy Barnes song is pretty cool.

Joe Dirt!

I guess you've got to include Purple Rain, but it's not my favorite.

I enjoyed the Stranger than Fiction soundtrack.

Garden State

A Clockwork Orange has a Beethoven-filled soundtrack that is always great to listen to.

I also find the theme from Schindler's List, with Itzhak (sp?) Perlman on violin, is absolutely beautiful.

I have several. Off the top of my head:
Pulp Fiction
Star Wars
Empire Strikes Back
Space 1999 (Yeah, I was a sci-fi geek)
The Bodyguard (Whitney before the fall)
Camelot
Forrest Gump
Singles (Agree with the sentiments above)
The Big Chill (Great Motown. I wore out 2 copies)
Titanic (Don't care for Celine Dion, just like the Irish-influence music)

I didn't realize that movie scores were included. If so, you can add almost anything by John Williams. The Phantom Menace, though a sad effort by Lucas, has fantastic music. Duel of the Fates is one of the best scores from any of the Star Wars movies.

Geez, I knew I was forgetting something.

Ghost World. Not every track is a winner, but it's a brilliant soundtrack if you are a fan of OLD delta blues.
Clicky.

Yeah, my mother gave me around $20 to go buy some school clothes in '77 (a buck went a lot farther then), and I came home with the Star Wars double album and a shirt I got from a clearance bin, because it had a hole in it. Not my best purchasing decision.

The Natural
Out of Africa
Ocean's Eleven

Good soundtrack, as was "A Map of the World."

My wife and I saw Matt Dillon in town when they were filming Singles. We walked past him on the Ave, and my wife says, "Hey! Isn't that the guy from Little Darlings?"

And perhaps the best scene in Singles is his... the one where he's trying to impress Bridget Fonda after installing a new stereo system in her car and ends up cranking the volume up so high that the windows get blown out (I believe Soundgarden's Chris Cornell is in that scene as well).

Tough because of different between scores and tracks, but:

Last Temptation of Christ from Peter Gabriel
Original Score for River Runs Through It
Out of Africa
Less Than Zero (1987)
Philadelphia
The Wall - Pink Floyd
....Purple Rain still wins in my book

Have all three...great choices. I would also add:

Dead Man Walking
High Fidelity

good call on High Fidelity, I'd also add

The Life Aquatic
The Big Labowsky

Elvira Madigan

Plus it makes you smarter.

You could kinda cheet and go with something like Immortal Beloved but to me, Geza Anda's versions of those Mozart concertos ae deffinitive, while Solti's interpretation of Beethoven is meerly excellent -- also, the soundtrack to Elvira Madigan has the complete pieces, whereas something like with Immortal Beloved or Amadeus (also no deffinitive interpretations) it does not.
