Whether you like their comedies or not, the Farrelly Brothers put some real good stuff on their soundtracks:
Along with Pulp Fiction, the Kill Bill soundtracks are pretty good.

I am in complete agreement. This soundtrack is sublime. The music is at times hauntingly beautiful. I read that the director extended scenes in order to allow the music conclude.

I'm 4 minutes in. Very nice!
eta: 24 minutes - epic!
eta2: ok, I'm a fan of Rachel Portman. I love it when I find new music.
Score : Last of the Mohicans
Soundtrack:
first: Saturday Night Fever, duh.
second: Boogie Nights (remember sister christian scene??)
third: Magnolia (I loved Aimee Mann back then)
yeah, we don't talk about Saturday Night Fever much, but that was a helluva pop soundtrack. Maybe the best ever?
Plus you named 2 of my all time favorite films. (Boogie and Magnolia - though SNF is a favorite too.)
Valley Girl, because it prominently features one of the greatest songs ever written: "I Melt With You"
Soundtrack - Peter Gabriel's Passion from Last Temptation of Christ

How'd I forget this one? One of my favorites too.
By movie soundtrack, do we mean background music written specifically for a film, a soundtrack that consists of pre-existing recordings that are compiled for a film, or a group of original songs that are written specifically for a film? It seems that people have offered examples from these three categories. Plus soundtracks that are actually Broadway musical adaptations.
When I started the thread I was thinking of a complete original score written for a movie - which is what most of the examples have been.
back to topic
Recently watched Once Upon a Time In America for the gazillionth time, and I was struck, yet again, by the Morricone soundtrack. Lordy lou - it's such an essential part of the movie. The several melancholy themes really drive the atmosphere of the movie. I can't think of a more perfect melding of music and film. I'm listening to it now and I practically want to cry.

Your first example was a movie adapted from a stage musical. The soundtrack composer is literally uncredited (Andre Previn). This is why I had to ask this question earlier in the thread. Score and soundtrack are totes different.

Well, I would submit that a score is a subset of a soundtrack.
And are you submitting that My Fair Lady doesn't count as original score because it was first written for a stage musical?
I sense we're getting a bit picky here.
Nothing matters but the music!
Well, let's say I really like the soundtrack for Tim Burton's Batman, and also the score, and I owned both albums.

I used to play it as background music when I writing as a teenager. Most of the soundtracks I've mentioned i write to, BTW. Phantasm has one of those scores which alternates between disco/funk and ambient creepy, especially at night by a red-bulbed lamp, fueled on diet coke furiously pecking away at a pre-386 PC keyboard and suddenly near the end of side 2: "BOOOOOY!" and series of crashing things and a blood-curdling scream. Great stuff.
