The album has been seen as presaging the dark ambient music genre, and its presentation of background noise and non-musical cues has been described by Pitchfork's Mark Richardson as "a sound track (two words) in the literal sense". -wikipedia
The mood and tone of Eraserhead and its soundtrack were influenced by Philadelphia's post-industrial history. Lynch lived in the city while studying painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and was fascinated by its feeling of constant danger; describing it both as a "sick, twisted, violent, fear ridden, decaying place" and "beautiful, if you see it the right way."[8][9][1] Lynch and Splet used avant-garde approaches to recording on the soundtrack; including crafting almost every sound in the soundtrack from scratch using bizarre methods. The ambiance of the love scene in the movie, for example, was produced by recording air blown through a microphone as it sat inside a bottle floating in a bathtub.[10] Lynch and Splet worked "9 hours a day for 63 days" to produce the soundtrack and all of the sound effects in the film. Splet recalls the sound effects Lynch called on him to produce for Eraserhead as "snapping, humming, buzzing, banging, like lightning, shrieking, squealing” over the five years it took to produce the film and its soundtrack. -wikipedia
I was just watching Tenet last night and the music kind of took me out of it sometimes because I was like, “Fuck, that music sounds awesome”, though not sure how well it will stand on its own, I’ve not tried that yet.
Lots of good ones here, I'll add some that haven't been mentioned: Sahara, Rango, both Sherlock Holmes movies, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, the JJ Abrams Star Trek's, The Incredibles, Godzilla 2014, The Road to El Dorado
- Yellow Submarine (I think a lot of people either forget this movie exists, or write it off as a kids movie. You're missing out on a movie that could be considered as revolutionary to animation as the Beatles were to music.)
- Back to the Future
- The Muppet Movie
- School of Rock
- Bladerunner
- The Matrix
There's probably other's, but that's what immediately comes to mind.
Tombstone and Almost Famous for me
Conan the Barbarian
Resident evil
Dred 2012
Redline
This is an old one, but:
The Mission, scored by Ennio Morricone.
I don't know that I could pick one, but Joe Hisashi's Studio Ghibli sound tracks are done of my favourites
Godzilla 1998
Varsity Blues
Into The Wild
The blade runner soundtrack is my go to relax soundtrack. Have listened to it thousands of times by now.
Judgement Night - some of the greatest hip-hop & metal crossover songs ever made.
Batman Forever
The Decline of Western Civilization
interstellar, interstella5555, gladiator
Swingers has a great oldies/crooner soundtrack.

Yeah American Psycho does have a good soundtrack. Eyes Without a Face is great.
My vote is for Interstellar or some of the other Hans Zimmer ones
Bohemian Rhapsody
Easy rider
The wackness - iconic 90s hip hop songs
28 days later - introduced me to post rock vibes
Oh just my thing.

The Fifth Element is probably the only soundtrack I have ever bought. The diva's aria is AMAZING!
The Scream 3 soundtrack is one of my favorites and was my introduction to System of a Down.

Pretty in Pink - Pure 80s.
I'm not seeing Oppenheimer mentioned , perhaps I'm in the minority here.
Atomic Blonde
Shrek 2, unironically
Also Sucker Punch and Tron Legacy
When I think of exquisite sound design, two of my favorite movies spring to mind: Stalker (1979) and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
The former has such a subtle soundtrack that it's almost like it's not there, but without it so much of the atmosphere of a movie that is heavily atmospheric would be lost.
The latter is just a perfect western with a perfect western soundtrack. The theme is well known, but L'estasi Dell'oro gives me chills every time it starts playing.
Buried.
Banger after banger
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has a fantastic soundtrack. Can really push a system to its limits.
Ransom is underrated IMO.
