I think there’s confusion regarding soundtrack versus musical score. Either that, or I’m confused, which is completely possible. John Williams and Ennio Morricone created musical scores, not soundtracks, right?

I may have gone the wrong way on this. For curated soundtrack I’ll go with Last Action Hero.

Judgment Night. Total gamechanger mashing up 2 hot bans on each track, including 'Just Another Victim' with lead HOP singer playing the role of Rhodes.

Cheers!

Edit - honorable mention to The Blues Brothers 

Helmet/ HOP mashup:

Holy c**p you beat me to it. Judgment Night is the best movie soundtrack of all time.

Currently watching Lawrence of Arabia over a couple nights...pretty epic score.

For movie I would say The Crow soundtrack. Some TV shows also come to mind. For example Longmire and Yellowstone.

If we are talking scoring movies not soundtracks, Hans Zimmer is a standout. Pirates + Gladiator Scores are untouchable.

Well, yes. Technically you're right here...

A musical score is original music specifically composed to accompany a film, enhancing its emotional and narrative elements, while a movie soundtrack is a collection of songs, which may include pre-existing tracks or original songs, that are featured in the film but not necessarily composed for it. Essentially, scores are instrumental and created for the film, whereas soundtracks can include various genres and artists.

In honor of the passing of Robert Duvall, I’d have to say Apocalypse Now.

I'm going to edit your post for accuracy:

Jurassic Park is my very favorite. Followed maybe by Raiders of the Lost Ark

Well we must have been brothers in another life mate 🤯

Wait a minute... Does that mean I should start smoking almost only 20+ yo CCs from now on? The kids are going on a pasta only diet starting tomorrow 🤔

If we’re talking about curated soundtracks, Almost Famous

It’s a very important distinction. I gather Moe is referring to soundtracks composed of popular music rather than orchestral scores (the latter of which is of easily overlooked but crucial importance in my opinion).

Great film.

brilliant stuff. it came out back during schoolies (for our offshore friends, that period immediately after finishing high school where every kid pissed off to the beach and misbehaved very badly - all very sanitised these days). bunch of mates took a night off and we went to an old cinema - the sort that used to show pornos and had not been cleaned in years. about 12 people there that night. us, a couple of unfortunates and three old blokes in their raincoats who clearly did not realise that the last waltz was not a porno. i reckon we stood on the old fold up chairs, a dangerous thing to do, and roared our lungs out all night. loved it. went back a few nights later and did it again. snuck in a heap of beers (not that they cared). loved it. 

so many great perfoamnces but the most surprising performance was surely neil diiamond. not someone you would have expected to be part of it but that 'dry your eyes' is as good an anthem as i have heard.

My wife made me watch that movie with her and that line had me laughing in hysterics.  I was imagining some knucklehead uttering those words to me about my daughter

Singles - The movie was utter trash lol but the Soundtrack and Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns by Mother Love Bone, Seasons by Chris Cornell and Drown by Smashing Pumpkins. Plus anything with Mark Lanegan and Mudhoney on it is awesome!

Heavy Metal Soundtrack is another one I love. 

I was coming here for this, but you beat me to it! The version of Drown by Smashing Pumpkins is only available on the soundtrack and it’s 8 1/2 minutes of spectacular! Next to Starla, it’s my favorite SP song. And, it’s highly possible that Pearl Jam and Soundgarden might have not existed had Andrew Wood not OD’d.

Btw, my Starla:

Yes I think so! Brothers from other mothers at least.
