42nd Street
Gold Diggers series
Broadway Melody series

+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.

Every soundtrack/score makes the movie. Ever watch one with the volume off?

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.

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)

The most epic score I have heard for a movie is
The 13th Warrior
It is my favorite.

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!
