I think The Fog of War has a great soundtrack with the Philip Glass instrumentals.
And like every Wes Anderson movie. They combine catchy Mark Mothersborough instrumentals with some undeniably great pop music from various periods and genres.
I like the Pixar films because they're top quality all round. Thomas Newman did a lovely score for Wall E- such a varied soundtrack that of course takes centre stage to help convey mood in the first 15 or so mins- especially for youngsters- because there's no dialogue. Randy Newman does the Monsters films, and of course Toy Story, which always has a nice song thrown in along with the orchestral stuff.
I like silent films a lot, and with modern restorations they often commission new soundtracks. I have the BFI DVD of the Epic Of Everest, which is the film of the 1925 expedition where Mallory and Irvine lost their lives. It comes with a choice of original soundtrack- which isn't bad- and the new orchestral score done for the restoration, which is superb.
I've got a DVD version of Nosferatu from about 18 years ago which is basically a bloke with a bank of keyboards, and it's very good.
Special screenings of silent films can be real fun, where a pianist (or sometimes an organist) is playing in real time to what you see. It's a very different kind of experience- quite a lot more vivid in some respects.
I've also got AC/DC's Who Made Who, which I think is technically the soundtrack of Maximum Overdrive.
I think the only other soundtrack i have (apart from Star Wars many years ago) is Michael Nyman's The Piano. I really liked the main theme from the film and thought it would be 40 minutes of that, but it isn't. The rest of the album is rubbish (subjective opinion), as far as I can remember.
Goodfellas
Easy Rider
Quadrophenia
Pulp Fiction
But there’s also:
Singles
Beavis and Butthead
Clerks
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Also, not a film, but watching Stranger Things at the moment. It has a really great soundtrack.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
Guardians of the Galaxy
Suspiria
Pat Garret and Billy the Kid
One that immediately comes to mind is Grown Ups - we like Grown Ups.

I love the sequence where the shuttle is lining up to dock with the space station, accompanied by "The Blue Danube" waltz.
The main theme (Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathrustra) is fantastic, too.
