The Phantom of the Opera (2004). Yes. I admit I thought I would hate the movie and ended up really enjoying it, especially learning about Emily Rossum.
The soundtrack to the Runaways, for a sense of history.
School Of Rock (The Who, Led Zep, Cream, the Ramones, the Doors). They spent some bucks for those songs.
Maximum Overdrive.
I am drawing a blank.
Truth Teller posted in part:
Once Upon A Time In The West
The first 5 or so minutes of that movie would not appeal to those who like a blur from jump-street, movies like Salt or Taken, but for me, that is one of the greatest openings to a movie ever. The guy catching the fly in his gun? Classic.
Harmonica asking about Frank at the beginning.
Harmonica: And Frank?
Snaky: Frank sent us.
Harmonica: Did you bring a horse for me?
Snaky: Well... looks like we're...looks like we're shy one horse.
Kelley's Heroes. I don't know if I mentioned that before but that was a great soundtrack for old fuckers like me.
Underrated film(what Clint Eastwood says about it is interesting) and pretty good soundtrack ,especially this song by Hank Williams Jr.:
"Old fuckers" like you?
Man,I was in Jr. high when that film came out,in fact it was that film got Caroll O'Connor the role of Archie Bunker.

It is difficult for any decent person to sit back and not comment on the anti-Semitism,racism ,sexism ,and all-around ignorance espoused on the majority of DA's posts,it's fucking sad when one gets a warning for simply being a decent person.

I loved it.

Not only one of the best film scores ever,and the very best spaghetti western ever ,but one of the greatest films ever made.

I agree with the inclusion of this, though it's shameful that the soundtrack album omitted "Paint It, Black" and the rendition of the "Mickey Mouse March" from the end of the film. To add insult to injury the album questionably includes the audio atrocity "Full Metal Jacket", which, as far as I can tell, is a mish-mash of Fairlight synthesizer, bad guitar playing and samples of R. Lee Ermey wrapped into one horrible package.
The songs from the movie that are included, as well as the tracks scored by the pseudonymous "Abigail Mead" are ace.

Dr. Zhivago and Amadeus deserve a mention. I'm not sure, but 'Zhivago' likely started the trend in decent soundtracks outside of musicals as a moneymaker for film productions. I probably listen to 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou' more than any other recent soundtrack, along with 'Goodfellas'. I like most of those listed here, in any case, but listen to the four in this post most often. In the past it was probably 'Easy Rider', mainly 'The Weight', 'Apocalypse Now', '200 Motels', and 'The Godfather', for soundtracks; most of the rock soundtracks usually suck or the songs already played to death on the radio, so I have few of them.
'Out Of Africa' is one I'm probably going to get, eventually.

President Josiah Bartlet: Sweden has a 100% literacy rate. 100%! How do they do that?
And a great score,except that they play "Somewhere My Love" way,way too much,but that was David Lean's fault.
The only thing that to me mars an otherwise perfect film.

I agree, but it was the theme song, after all, and did fit the story the best.

It was better than the book, imo, though it did leave out a lot. It virtually screams for a remake, but unfortunately HollyHood doesn't like to do remakes of movies 12 year olds won't go see., at least 'big' films. There are at least 8 actresses and a couple of actors around now that could handle the parts easily. Getting them all in the same movie would of course be pretty much impossible today.

Speaking of great film soundtracks,how could I have forgotten Bonnie And Clyde:

As for 2012 : The Dark Knight Rises has a great score.
Moonrise Kingdom has a great soundtrack,especially this song:
