I am one more for GoodFellas, also. Eddie and the Cruisers, and Amadeus. I know I have others, just can't remmeber right now.
 
American Graffitti - The exhilirating opener "Rock Around The Clock" and the bittersweet closing "All Summer Long".

Plus a lot of good stuff in between, and a great movie to boot!

I don't know about MAKING the movie, but a couple of my favs that if you don't own, you SHOULD are Victory at Sea, Scent of a Woman, and Apocalypse Now....

I think the scene at the end accompanied by "The End," by the Doors was one of the best marriages of music and film I can remember.:thmbsp:
 
... that's entertainment ...

Wizard of Oz

and while we're at it ... any number of old musicals where it was all about the soundtrack and a familiar boy/girl plot thrown in ... and choreography and costumes!

42nd Street
Gold Diggers series
Broadway Melody series
Fred & Ginger movies

An American In Paris
Singing in the Rain
Music Man
Oklahoma
South Pacific

Planet of the Apes ... from the opening, dissonant notes, foreboding of everything out of whack in an upside down world ...

+1 gave the movie it's eerie vibe.
How about Escape from New York, Halloween and The Thing. John Carpenter composed the soundtrack for these iirc.
 
My favorite soundtrack album (and a pretty hard one to come by in any format): Better Off Dead, I love all the 80's synth tunes on that album, Rupert Hine did an excellent job with the music.

A great movie soundtrack that's never been released in any format: Ferris Beuller's Day Off. There are some great tunes in that film, including a really cool instrumental cover of The Smiths' "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" by The Dream Academy (it plays during the scene when they're in the art museum).

Film scores that I really enjoy: Back to the Future, Clockwork Orange, Star Wars, Tron, Brassed Off.
 
True Stories (the music in the film...no true soundtrack exisits on cd or vinyl?)
The Big Lebowski
 
MOVIE - Legend - BAND - Tangerine Dream

The whole soundtrack of Almost Famous

The Crow (Part I) The Whole Soundtrack

Gladiators - all

etc
 
The Lion King
Moulin Rouge (one of the few musicals I like)
Hoosiers (the music didn't make the movie, but it sure helped a lot)
 
Boy did I really wake up this thread, lol! Great soundtracks mentioned by everybody! I have a few more that came to my mind:
1. The Never Ending Story
2. Labyrinth
3. Teen Witch-not the dumbass TV show but the actual movie with Robyn Lively
4. Howard the Duck-Thomas Dolby & Lea Thompson with Cherry Bomb kicks ass!
5. Star Trek IV, sticks out from the rest of the usual ones, it is a truly unique and moving score by Leonard Rosenman
6. Crocodile Dundee- yeah man! hehe. Love that song that was playing when they were in the club where The chick is walking down the stairs with a Alphabet outfit on, awesome! Sadly that song was not on the soundtrack and I have tried exhaustively to find it with no luck.
7. Batteries Not Included, Rhumba & Jazz
8. Indiana Jones, most notably the Temple of Doom with Kate Capshaw singing the Opening song, Anything Goes
9. Clint Eastwood's Pink Cadillac, with Southern Pacific
10. Clint Eastwood's Every Which Way but Loose- the Black Widow Theme especially, heheh!
