I watch way too many movies, it's where I find all of my music since I don't listen to the radio...

 

...also I just skimmed through Soundtrack on my iTunes library, I don't know all the names off by heart and I'm probably forgetting some really obvious ones.

Soundtracks - I'd have to go with "I Am Sam", just for Sarah McLachlan's version of Blackbird, but the other covers were really great too.

 

Someone mentioned Fight Club - Dust Brothers, freakin' brilliant!

 

Film Scores -

 

Nightmare Before Christmas (Danny Elfman)

The Last Temptation of Christ (Peter Gabriel)

Edward Scissorhands (Danny Elfman)

Stargate (David Arnold)

The Mission (Ennio Morricone)

Beyond Rangoon (Hans Zimmerman)

The Fifth Element (Eric Serra)

... just about every score by John Williams!

 

I could go on and on... I think film scores are one of the best sources of music out there. The Mozarts, Beethovens and Debussys are still around, but now they're doing movie music.

 

Additional Comments:

Oh ya! That one's awesome! Ian Gillan is absolutely incredible! (so is everyone else, but Ian Gillan - wow)

How about Hylander? (My favourite bad movie!). You have to be a Queen fan but great sound track!

 

Yes another great choice, and love the vintage Queen music!

I love Danny Elfman, he's absolutely amazing.

 

The Alice in Wonderland soundtrack was great, but only if you find the Danny Elfman version and NOT the Disney version.

 

-(500) Days of Summer - (Mumm-ra, Wolfmother, The Smiths)

 

-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - (E.L.O, The Willowz, The Polyphonic Spree)

 

-Cabaret (Liza Minnelli)

 

-Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

I'm a big fan of the Wes Anderson soundtracks, especially Rushmore and the Royal Tenenbaums.

The Life Aquatic soundtrack was good too, especially all those covers of David Bowie played by Seu Jorge.

Ya pretty much have to love any movie that has any Queen track.... I was lucky enough to catch them on three tours in my youth... now that was one amazing band.

Adding my vote for Top Gun - great 80's rock together with one of the best slow dance ballads ever: Take My Breath Away.

Me too Naomi, he's my favourite actually (although I have to admit John Williams is very close, if even just for the volume of his instantly recognizable pieces)!
