Best Soundtrack?
Good soundtracks enhance the mood of a film and usually evoke memories of a film while they're on. Unfortunately, most soundtracks nowadays are throwaway pop/rock compilations that really don't reflect the mood of the film at all. Anyway, here are some of the best ones I own...
Pulp Fiction/Jackie Brown/Reservoir Dogs (Tarentino puts amazing soundtracks together)
Rushmore
The Rules of Attraction
The End of Violence
Good Will Hunting
Office Space (gangsta rap worked surprisingly well in this film)
Trainspotting

If we're just talking pop soundtracks and not actual film scores, my faves are:
Hedwig & The Angry inch (although I do REALLY prefer the original off-broadway cast album)
Magnolia
Macross Plus I & II
Little Shop of Horrors
Dead Man Walking

Some good ones listed. I'll have to check out that movie. I LOVE Space, Supernaturals, Silver Sun and the Wannadies. It would be interesting to hear them in a flick. Is it any good?

24 Hour Party People takes the cake for me, classic tracks beginning to end.
Rushmore had some amazing, somewhat forgotten choices and revitalized "I am Waiting", my favorite sleeper Rolling Stones song.
Grosse Point Blank had some great tunes.
Pulp Fiction is still great.
Natural Born Killers is one of the better things Trent Reznor ever did and very few people have it, their loss.
Style Wars has a great selection of rare early hip-hop, so does Scratch.
Dogtown and Z-Boys is chock-a-block full of 70s classics.
Almost Famous is the only movie I can think of that's got Led Zepplin in it (other than Fast Times). It's also full of great songs. Camron Crowe has some serious pull in the industry.
