As the title suggests,what are your most favored/memorable soundtracks to a movie given they lay much of the emotive groundwork, where a score/theme can be remembered as fondly as the the movie itself

A few that immediately spring to mind for me are....

Shawshank Redemption


And yes I realize this is not an original score for this movie but when I hear it I think of ...
Platoon


The Lion King -


Castaway
 
Explosions in the Sky did an amazing soundtrack to Friday Night Lights.

As did Mogwai for Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait.

I've always thought The Social Network soundtrack by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross is exceptional. Never have I absorbed the atmosphere of a movie scene as much as when some of those tracks are playing.
 
Well, for straight ahead meat and potatoes enjoyment there's always the Blues Brothers. Some of my favourites are from obscure films:
City of God
Y Tu Mama Tambien
The Good Thief
Cool World
Jackie Brown
American Gangster
