The Kitchen has an awesome soundtrack with classic rock tracks such as Barracuda and Wayward Son, and its a bloody great film too.

I do have a bit of a girl crush on both Melissa McCarthy and Elisabeth Moss, great actresses

"Bullitt

Gladiator

The Mission

Lalo Schifrin, who composed the music for Bullitt, and many other films was a composer par excellence.

Anyone interested in Bullitt (1968) should watch online Herve Attia's analysis of the car chase route, with his own score. Very interesting.

Also a shout out to John Williams. Especially composing the Imperial

GotG films are basically a “best of” album with some funny actors thrown in

they are very good.

I would also like to add Tron Legacy as my submission, which by contrast is basically an hour and a half long Daft Punk music video and Highlander which is an extended Queen music video

Not necessarily the whole film but in Natural Born Killers they play a track by L7 called Shitlist .

"When I get mad, and I get pissed

I grab a pen and I write out a list

Of all you assholes who won't be missed

You've made my Shitlist"

Brilliant track.

Top Gun has an amazing soundtrack, as does Star Trek The Motion Picture (which makes up for the film itself being hilariously bad).

Both Guardians of the Galaxy films.

Phil Collins’ soundtrack to Disney’s Tarzan film is amazing.

Some great ones up above, I sadly think I can probably still sing the Grease soundtrack the whole way through (I blame my sister, she played it continuously for about a year).

However, I'll add both the Bladerunner films to the list.

Pretty hard to beat for original, atmospheric sound-tracks in these films.

Agreed....The score was amazing.

Even more when surround sound came about.
