What is your favourite movie soundtrack? Mine would have to be Star Wars. Not just the main theme (though it is still great), but other stuff like the Imperial theme, and the Duel of Fates.

-I have forgotten the name of the film, but it has james Spader in it, and they used the same peice of music throughout the whole thing, it was just so brilliant, really haunting 
-Blade Runner
-The Big Lebowski
-LA Confidential

I loved "Flower" from Gone in 60 seconds (Intro music)
Also, the american Pie soundtracks are pretty good.

The Big Country. The soundtrack's by Jerome Moross, who kept missing out for twenty years while all the soundtracks were done for Hollywood films by German immigrants. Finally, he got a shot at one, and instantly won an Academy for it. And it's a knockout.

I seldom remember soundtracks, most of them seem dull to my ears, but a few I like:
2001 - The opening from R Strauss "Also sprach Zaratustra" is great in this context, as is J Strauss "An die schoenen..." even though I don't like Vienna waltzes normally. Lygeti's music is also great in the context.
Henry V - Patric Doyle is such a nice composer
This movie about the glamrock era, with Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor, I don't remember the title, but they had picked much of the best music from era.

@Kayless A second vote for Lion King The African influence is very moving
I have another Omen Carl Orff IIRC - Carmina Burana, very powerful stuff.
