Best Movie Soundtracks

a few of my personal favorites.

New Moon: Thom Yorke, Muse, Grizzly Bear, Lykke Li, Death Cab for Cutie, etc.
Boogie Nights: Beach Boys, "Spill the Wine", "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" The Emotions. The music fits perfectly with the scenes.
Buffalo 66: Mostly instrumentals, but very well placed good music.
Dazed and Confused: Great collection of 70's classic rock.
Staying Alive and Saturday Night Fever: shake it baby.
Reality Bites: A bit cheesy now, but I liked these songs a lot in the 90's.
Rushmore: One of my favorite films, and one of the best soundtracks of all time. Cat Stevens, Kinks, etc. Songs go perfectly where placed.
Trainspotting, Memento, and Hackers I owned and liked a lot.
 
4th for Last of the Mohicans. I grew up listening to that stuff and it gives me chills and brings back floods of emotions whenever I hear it as an 'adult'. Come to think of it, there are a few that fall into this category:

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly -- the original score is $$$ and even the re-makes are excellent.
Man From Snowy River -- I hated the show, but loved the soundtrack.
Paint Your Wagon -- I can sing you every song verbatim, and have seen the movie maybe once in the last ten years.
Jaws.
Star Wars.
Indiana Jones.
Top Gun.

There are more, but I can't think at the moment. Stupid marijuana flashbacks.
 
My all-time favorite soundtrack...
