I''ll third the Susperia soundtrack... most of that early Goblin stuff on the Argento films is pretty unique music. Deep Red, Inferno, all that stuff.
No mention of The Godfather?! Truly moving.
Tron! I love that crazy angular Wendy Carlos melody. Moog heaven.
And a little more on the cheesy side, let's not forget Queen/Vangelis on the Flash Gordon soundtrack...
FLASH! (boom) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
He'll save every one of us!
AWESOME!

The soundtrack for Kurosawa's Yohjimbo is always been a favorite of mine. There's also a soundtrack record that came out for a fake Logan's Run sequel that was done by some of the Jellyfish and Redd Kros guy's. The liner notes contain a basic synopsis of said film. Jason Falkner is on one song and appears to play the main character in the photos in the liner notes. For the Ry Cooder fans, The Long Riders is one of my favorites. The Backbeat soundtrack just for Greg Dulli and Dave Pirner. They are showing people how it should be done on that.
Apocalypse Now....
And not just the reworking of "The End", but all the atmospheric ethereal stuff, too. Wow....gotta dig that out, now.

Some of the guitar sounds were done by a Hendrix impersonator from the 1980's named Randy Hanson. I especially like the ending music while the credits roll. Also the atmospheric stuff was done by Mickey Hart, who also did the music to the PBS Vietnam War series that came out a few years after.

Strangely enough, Randy Hanson is still doing the Hendrix thing.myphx wrote:Apocalypse Now....

As for other soundtracks, the Wicker Man soundtrack is pretty cool.
Also, some of the Leslie Bricusse stuff from the 60's & late 70's is fun (Scrooge, Willy Wonka).

The soundtrack to the Pixar movie, "The Incredibles." Great, real orchestra tracks. Nice special feature on the recording of it on the DVD. I also liked the incidental music on "Monster's Inc."
I might get flamed for this because they stole everything from everywhere but the soundtrack from "Moulin Rouge" is a great ride. There are just some really clever uses of song lyrics in there.
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" - great rock opera.
Old Clint Eastwood movie: "The Gauntlet" - Jon Faddis playing over the last scene.
I always loved the soundtrack to "The Untouchables." There are some really great themes in there.

Everyone has posted some really great stuff here. Badalamenti, Morricone -- brilliant. To add to the fire:
James Horner's score for "Glory". Yes, Horner is a hack. But holy shit; the Harlem Boys Choir! These pieces are beautiful and a serious emotional trainwreck. I can't listen to this without becoming completely immersed.
Boxhead Ensemble's score to "Dutch Harbor: Where the Sea Breaks It's Back". Beautiful and meditative, so slow as to be almost a hibernation theme. Stark, bone-deep string arrangements and drones. The work has contributions from Jim O'Rourke, David Grubbs, Ken Vandermark, Douglas McCombs and Will Oldham. By extension, their <i>live</i> touring score to the film ("The Last Place To Go") is amazing, as well.
