old school like Angus, some good songs on that one, like greenday and ash and the goops i think.
also:

The Crow
Pulp Fiction
Almost Famous (my friend's choice, i can't remember it)

But this was all before a soundtrack was like TRL part two.

I love the Star Wars scores.  Especially Empire and Jedi.  The prequels are alright, nothing I really enjoy listening too, though.  I like A Clockwork Orange and 2001 soundtracks too.

I believe it was the Raymond Chandler crime style in general who was the inspiration. They just wrote all the caracters to be pretty odd people...

...and the best soundtrack out there can only be Pulp Fiction, I mean normally a score is being composed or/and old or new songs is added to fit with the pictures, in the case of Pulp Fiction it is the other way around.

You reminded me: Pi
and yes, i agree trainspotting was great
and i totally forgot about lost highway, that one is awesome.

Mostly, I didn't mean scores when i brought up soundtrack, in that case though I'll throw out a few more:

Rosemary's baby (very creepy and unmistakable)
The Godfather (of course)
American Beauty
and Punch Drunk Love, I agree with the rest of you.

The Song Remains the Same
The Wall
The Graduate
Tommy
Quadrophenia

...and special mention to the soundtrack to "A Charlie Brown Christmas": Vince Guaraldi is so fucking psychedelic at times.

check it

Cecil

queen of the damned is pretty good as well

Woodstock

Richie Havens improvisation at the beginning still gives me chills...now that is talent from God.

Ghostboy

I think my favorite 'compilation' soundtracks would have to be Heat and Lost Highway...they are both perfect examples of songs that perfectly encapsulate the moviegoing experience. Runner up would be Trainspotting. The Wall doesn't count! Otherwise it would be way up there. 2001 as well...it's really creepy listening to that really late at night.

Wes Anderson's soundtracks would be better if they actually included all the songs from the movies. Although I understand a second version of Royal Tennenbaums was released with a few new tracks added.

Did anyone ever hear Shudder To Think's soundtrack for High Art? That was gorgeous, although I'm generally not a big fan of the rest of their music.

Some of my favorite scores would have to be Empire Strikes Back, Vertigo, Last Of The Mohicans (only the Trevor Rabin parts),  Edward Scissorhands, Fargo AND Raising Arizona, Taxi Driver...there are just too many to list. Magnolia, of course.

Redlum

The Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack is really great. Especially Mirror in the Bathroom. Makes me want to kick Felix LaPoubelle's ass.
