For the most part I don't pay much attention to scores/soundtracks, but I like these ones (in no particular order):

Halloween
Star Wars
Superman
Rocky
Christine

I especially like how the songs in Christine were not only songs I like, but they were part of the story too, i.e., the car used them as a form of communication. Like when the vandals tried to open Christine's door and "she" locked it and started playing Keep A-Knockin' (but you can't come in) on "her" radio.

That kind of reminds me of An American Werewolf in London and it's wolf themed music. I'll check Christine's soundtrack out. It's a fun movie.

Hhmm, if it is the entirety of the soundtrack.....

I always loved the music in "The Elephant Man"

One would also have to mention a movie from 1978, "FM".

"Sophie Scholl: The Final days" has a great soundtrack.

Probably a bit partial on this one..."Death Wish 2". Partial because it's Jimmy Page's work.

Keeping this in mind, one always loved the soundtrack to...

"The SOng Remains the Same"

PS - I just thought of another soundtrack - it's excellent.....

"SOmewhere in Time"
