Let's see, I'd have to say the Blues Brothers soundtrack, the Star Wars soundtracks, Pirates of the Caribbean, O Brother Where Art Thou?, Sin City soundtrack.

Erm i dont like Vampires or anything but if you wanna talk about pretentious, lets talk about yout replys to this topic, seems your'e the final word on everything.
Anyway, on topic, some of my favourite soundtracks include Gladiator, Batman, Batman Returns, O Brother Where art thou, School of Rock, Batman Begins and the Star Wars films scores have there moments.
Reservoir Dogs
Kill Bill
Ghostbusters (and I mean that - the album is class)
Donnie Darko
Layer Cake
Most of John Williams' soundtracks also qualify, with Star Wars being arguably the best of the lot - but I'm going on licensed/third party soundtracks.
Princes Of The Universe (opening credits)
Gimme The Prize
One Year Of Love
Who Wants To Live Forever
Hammer To Fall (not included on "A Kind Of Magic")
Don't Lose Your Head
New York, New York (not included on "A Kind Of Magic")
A Kind Of Magic (closing credits)
It's an image worth pondering for a moment. Maybe, when you cut past the instrumental and songwriting virtuosity, the funny voices and characters, what is left is a man alone in his recording studio for days at a time.
