I usually don't like film soundtracks, but I must say I love the soundtrack to "Immortal Beloved"... But I guess that's a bit different, since it's all Beethoven.

I'll second that.Stilgar said:
The one that always sticks in my head is the Glass House soundtrack. I also quite liked the music in Memoirs of a Geisha and the U.S. remake of The Ring

someone already mentioned clockwork orange...i second that with a passion
uhhh...hannibal (has one of the most beautiful pieces i have ever heard on it)
legend of the swordsmen...an old jet li movie that is totally sweet. i only saw about 30 minutes of it last night, and was blown away by the movie, the production, acting, and the soundtrack
wicker park had tons of sweet music in the movie...unfortunately, a lot of stuff didn't make it onto the soundtrack. in fact, a lot of songs that were on the soundtrack weren't even in the movie. but, since it was an ashton kusher movie, the power of trends took over. but, this one song by plus minus is fucking sweet.
shit, there are a ton of others that i can't think of. i love quite a bit of music in movies. i don't know why i don't check it out more than i do.

Yeah that violin theme is really cool.
Also Donnie Darko has some ok songs on it (not sure how many)
and Dazed and Confused! - Just a good collection of 70's songs
Golden Embrace's soundtrack by Christofer Johnsson it can be found on A'arab Zaraq - Lucid Dreaming and, Death's Design it's supposed to be a soundtrack to a movie even if the movie doesn't exsist lol
The Lost Highway soundtrack is really interesting ... that's where I first heard Rammstein as a matter of fact

I like pie.
danny elfman is a hack, and overrated. but some soundtracks are indeed fantastic, and sometimes responsible for making a "good" movie into a "great" movie. heres some examples of great soundtracks:
Once Upon a Time in The West - Ennio Morricone. Beautiful, genius and timeless.
Chinatown - Jerry Goldsmith. Classic neo-noir, moody, somber and elegent. If you enjoy early americana, and late night jazz music...this is for you.
A Clockwork Orange - Walter Carlos. Ahead of its time. Eerie, distant and futuristic (again...at the time). Provacative, and even disturbing on occasion. A cold/distant soundscape for a future of heartless ultraviolence and apathy.
Vertigo - Bernard Herrmann. Hitchcock's right hand man. Made a wonderful, multidimensional and dramatic score during a time of audial boredom. Timeless classic.
Lolita - Ennio Morricone. This is for the remake of the film. Among his best work...hundreds of scores and decades into his career. An overlooked (and unheard) gem of melancholy, emotional and inspirational sweeping melody.
Oceans Twelve - David Holmes. The next generation in forward thinking film composers. Rooted in the late 60s and early 70s, he fuzes acid jazz, with neo classical, blues, funk and electronica to make maybe the most exciting and interesting score ive heard in a LONG time.
The Good, The Bad And the Ugly - Ennio Morricone. REALLY put him AND sergio leone on the map, while treading new ground with experimentation, he would also be creating history with this extremely fun, dramatic and entertaining score which would become the template for many mimics to come.
Psycho - Bernard Herrmann. Abrupt, Cold, Sinister and perfect. One of his later works for hitchcock, he captured the film and the mood perfectly for every frame. A great listen for late nights...an absolute classic of horror.
Goblin - Proffundo Rosso. This score would put Goblin on the map. Nothing had been done like it before really. Taking their previous progressive rock forward thinking ideas, and applying them to the growing popularity of italian gore/horror genres, they did very well. Fuzing haunting themes, with complex and upbeat instrumentation. Sold thousands of copies within the first few weeks.
The Talented Mr. Ripley - Gabriel Yared. Still pretty unknown, but his knack for emotion and drama are almost unmatched these days. For this film, he combined classical music, and conventional instrumentation with very dissonant passages and unsettling undertones. Haunting and memorable.
The Great Silence - Ennio Morricone. Taking the Sergio Leone western archetype, but taking place in the snow, Ennio adapts the style to acomodate this VERY well. A cold and brisk atmosphere, while retaining that epic free-spirit type western appeal. One of my all time favorite scores.
Taxi Driver - Bernard Herrmann. My favorite score of his. The perfect score for the perfect movie. Encapsulates late night aimlessness of a troubled taxi driver, and the back alley edge of the streets he drives on, with overtones dictating his "means well" attitude and innocence. A great duality of textures and mid 70s vibe appeal.
so check those out if you havent heard them. All are great listening outside of a "film" setting, so dont worry about getting bored. But id recommend seeing the films first if you havent...the context of a score is ALWAYS more powerful with the images theyre meant to border and accent.
