Amelie - yann Tiersen
Edward Scissorhands - Danny Elfman
Team America - mainly performed by Trey Parker

 

the cliff martinez score for solaris, absolutely beautiful, so deep

like a few others have mentioned;

michael andrews for donni darko
clint mansell and the kronos quarte for requiem for a dream

also really like abigail meads tracks for full metal jacket, check out the track leonard - its just builds slowly, so dark and atmospheric - it adds so much to scene in the film

buffalo soliders, i think it was david holmes who picked the tunes. especially like the bit where there mashed in the tank with the 2 hip hop tunes playing, dr octagon - bear witness and handsome boy modeling school - holy calamity (bear witness ii) those tracks fit so well with that bit of the film

i could go on for ages!

 

Oh, I forgot one: the Edukators! Beautiful soundtrack that really fits the movie.

 

Hair!!!

 

Hey I'm glad to see this thread took off while I was gone!

Off the top of my head, my favorite movie soundtrack right now is for The Coneheads.

 

I am Sam - all Beatles songs. And it really fits the movie.

 

I loved the soundtrack to Chocolat
