Two off the top of my head:

 

Repo Man

 

Man as soon as I saw this thread I was like "Repo Man" but am not the least bit surprised that a fellow Bills fan got to it first. Cheers. The best soundtrack.

Most of the soundtracks I like are collections of songs I already knew. I don't think I knew anything from Repo Man when I first heard it. Easily my favorite too!

Easy two picks for me to get this ball rolling...

 

Almost Famous

Dazed and Confused 

My first post!

Solid picks, can't disagree.  I'd offer up "Maximum Overdrive" and the all AC/DC soundtrack: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091499/soundtrack

Or low hanging fruit like the Grateful Dead movie...its a movie after all.

I'm starting to think a more interesting category may be "Best original score" for a movie. Most of what has been mentioned (by me as well) are movies that have a bunch of music we know and like. Composing movie specifically for a particular movie is a real art form in itself. 

 

Good Bad and Ugly is a great choice. How about The Last Tango in Paris soundtrack? Here's a piece:

That is a great choice, which reminded me that I forgot to add: Once Upon A Time in the West.

 

I also agree that writing music for a movie is a great art form. Far more challenging than songs.

I don't remember it but is it this version?

 


Same song. Never knew 'my version' was a cover. Cool, thanks for that.

 

As an aside, Mike Nesmith (The Monkeys) was executive producer of Repo Man and I always assumed a big influence on the soundtrack.

Truly a difficult question.  How does one equate a full symphonic score written for a movie to a 'period piece', where the music of the era serves as the soundtrack?

That being said, 'Bullitt'.  A great jazz score by Lalo Schifrin.

I love the music from Local Hero.
