Wow, I honestly thought this thread would be entirely populated with the Tron soundtrack as the majority of answers. I'm not entirely sure what I'd pick, do musicals count?
Once Upon a Time in the West: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Q8h-fDfEI
Once Upon a Time in America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0jFrXO22_o
The Third Man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oEsWi88Qv0&feature=related
On Her Majesty's Secret Service: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRJnK-uWbfQ
Vertigo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC5AzFc3coo
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQGGQ-FCe_w
Princess Mononoke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdctS6E97hA
And these are just the original compositions! Movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Pulp Fiction, and Goodfellas have plenty of classic music in them too.

Apocalypse now gets an honourable mention for the Ride of the Valkyries and This is the End.
Hmmmmm... wow, that's a tough one. I can think of hundreds of movies with great soundtracks, but a more recent one that I really liked was Megamind. I mean, it had Back In Black, Highway To Hell, Crazy Train, Welcome To The Jungle, and they all fit perfectly!
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut definitely deserves a mention as well. There wasn't one bad song in it really.

Original music... probably Gladiator... I love those themes!
Unoriginal: Either 500 days of Summer, Sucker Punch or Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels.

I'm going to vote James Horner for Avatar's soundtrack. It may have looked stunning but Avatar would have been nothing without Horner's strong soundtrack. I can picture Pandora perfectly in my mind just by listening to this score, it's so beautiful, violent and tragic. We'll just forget about that awful track by Leona Lewis shall we?
Honourable mentions for Horner's Titanic as well. Ultimate respect for keeping an Irish vibe throughout the whole soundtrack. The ship may have been conceived by a Liverpudlian company but it was built by Irish hands.

Are you aware that Zack Hemsey only composed the trailer theme? The Inception movie soundtrack was actually by composed by Hans Zimmer. Not that it makes your choice any less valid, Hans Zimmer's music is awesome!Aerosteam 1908 said:
Agreed. As far as fitting music to a particular setting goes, Howard Shore had it down to a very fine art with TLOTR.Toaster Hunter said:
Star Wars no doubt, Funny enough though the soundtrack has become so well known that it's hardly considered a soundtrack anymore but more an pop culture icon.
