It's too bad that the main title is so cliche since the rest of the soundtrack is really good. The 20 minute final track is amazing.

I would add
The Commitments
Rent (I haven't seen the movie, so I would opt for the Broadway version)
Walk the Line
These are interesting because the actors in the move also perform the songs for the soundtrack. The Commitments is less impressive because I believe the actors were chosen more for their singing than their acting. Walk the line however is Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. I bet that Ray fits in this category as well, I just haven't seen it.

Looks good -- I'll have to give it a listen. I saw the movie a long time ago, but for some reason don't remember the soundtrack.

There are two tracks from The Search For Spock that are really good:
Stealing the Enterprise and The Katra Ritual.

The one with all the vocal songs or just the instrumental tracks?

The actual songs.The instrumentals are pretty cool too.

It's great. But I like how it's arranged in the theatrical cut rather than director's.

Daft Punk's Tron is a good one too.
Regarding the Donnie Darko soundtrack - I never made the connection that it contained both "Never Tear Us Apart" AND "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Cool..

Gato Barbieri's
(still behind only Kind of Blue in my jazz rotation) and Vangelis's Year of Living Dangerously" (best movie theme of all time) are the only soundtracks i remember purchasing for composed content.

Vangelis is labeled as corny because of his main Chariots of Fire theme, but that entire soundtrack is really good. The 20 minute end track is epic.

I'd forgotten how great the soundtrack to Run Lola, Run is.

You may already know this amazon trivia:Most of the tunes on this disc are credited to the trio of Tykwer/Klimek/Heil--the threesome of film director Tom Tykwer, techno producer John Klimek, and Rynhold Heil (best known as the producer of German pop import 99 Luftballons by Nena)I'd forgotten how great the soundtrack to Run Lola, Run is.

I knew Tykwer was involved but not the 99 Luftballons dude.

Lots of great choices here - you can always count on a Cameron Crowe and a Jonathan Demme soundtrack to be great. Someone mentioned "Married to the Mob," another great Demme not on this list is "Something Wild.""Valley Girl" is probably my favorite of all time. "Risky Business" is great if you're old enough to have seen that movie in the theater - hearing the Tangerine Dream track "Love on a Real Train" is an instant time machine to being 15 years old again.Also, from recent years, "Adventure Land" is really good, though the inclusion of "Rock Me Amadeus" is very close to a deal-breaker.

All of the Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppla movies have great soundtracks and scores.

Yvonne Elliman's version of " I Don't Know How To Love Him" is my favorite female vocal arrangement/performance of all-time.ETA: Yvonne 1970 album version

I'm embarassed to say it, but the soundtrack from Dude, Where's My Car hit a few chords with me. Other than that, the usual: Singles, Oh Brother, Purple Rain....

I would like to add the Avengers to my list. At least the "theme" music. Just awesome.
