No musicals allowed, no scores/music written for films (sorry Celine Dion/Titanic fans).

American Werewolf in London for me.

Sucker Punch. I've only ever bought two soundtrack albums before, the "...Spotless Mind" one, for the Beck cover, and Mission Impossible 2 for a Tori Amos cover, and both of those I got cheap, but Sucker Punch I bought full price for the whole album, it's a great heavy rock album in it's own right, and I love it.

Withnail and I, the music fits perfectly with the time. All around the Watchtower being the classic while highlighting the squalor.

Oh... Apocalypse Now too.

For "What Condition my Condition was In", surely?!

Tarantino scores: Reservoir Dogs is pretty good, Pulp Fiction is the standard by which others are measured, Jackie Brown is good, Kill Bill Vol 1 is pretty good.
Guy Ritchie: his films might be incomprehensible tripe (maybe), but his scores to Lock, Stock and Snatch are very good (the former's not aged incredibly well though, IMHO).
Steven Soderburgh films: the first half of Out of Sight is excellent.
Austin Powers
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is excellent.
etc
...I'm a big fan of film OSTs...

The Proposition. I haven't liked much that Nick Cave did since the Birthday Party but this soundtrack works so well, full of atmosphere and tension.

Garden State... The choice of tracks is absolutely perfect for the film, really complements it.

Agree with the Big Lebowski, the soundtrack's so perfectly in keeping with the film.

Full Metal Jacket too. Great soundtrack in 2 parts. Surfin Bird etc for the early mental bits, then the really eerie compositions for the later Isle of Dogs scenes. Genius

have to agree with the john carpenter OST's, doesn't he compose them himself ? particularly like the music in the thing.

the original incidental music in apocolypse now is also very good, classic analog synth sounds.

not much of it but the music and title sequence music to the shining is also very good. again, classic analog synth work. the opening score where jack is driving through the mountains is pretty scary 😯
