What is your favorite movie soundtracks? Please choose a more modern music soundtrack (for example, something with rock, rap, etc.) and a more classical sound track.
Modern music - Judgment Night soundtrack (original songs performed by "popular" rock and rap artists from the 90s)
Classical - The Last of the Mohicans (makes me want to kill redcoats)
Modern has got to be This is Spinal Tap. Very original.
Original classical is a difficult one. I'd probably go for Out of Africa. As for pre-existing classical then its Amadeus. All answers are subject to change.

I enjoy Out of Africa although I did not see the movie.
I'm a fan of the scores of both the new Transformers movies. It's just the right balance of edgy but not too engaging that I can listen to it as background noise while I'm programming or working on some school work. I used to use the scores from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but sometimes found myself getting caught up in the music a little too much.
Modern: "A Knight's Tale" The cool juxtaposition of modern tracks with medieval settings was unsettling at first, but oddly pleasing on subsequent viewings. Plus, the tracks selected are amazing. Modern Runner up: "The Highlander" A bit dated now, but awesome at the time.
Classical: "Star Wars" John Williams is the man. Classical runner up: Danny Elfman soundracks I like quite well also. He doesn't get much credit, but has some awesome work out there. The new Batman stuff is pretty cool, good especially for listening at work when trying to drown out the hubub. Create a Danny Elfman channel on Pandora and you get to hear some pretty interesting stuff.

Love the A Knight's Tale soundtrack. Definitely good stuff.
In terms of movies that were scored, the top of the list is definitely Last of the Mohicans. I actually love the soundtracks to any Michael Mann movie.
runners up:
Pee Wee's Big Adventure Raiders of the Lost Ark Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Terminator
movies that had a collection of songs that worked perfectly: Heat
runners up:
City of God Kids Collateral Natural Born Killers Timecode The Insider Strange Days 24 Hour Party People The Departed Donnie Darko
honorable mention: Man on Fire (because of the adaptive reuse of the parts from the Nine Inch Nails songs 'The Mark Has Been Made' and 'The Wretched', as well as some b-sides and other songs used for this underrated masterpiece.)
sorry, it's impossible to pick just one with so many of these things. The Crow was a great soundtrack, but most of the songs weren't even in the movie. Like the Romeo + Juliet OST was good too, but the only the Radiohead song was really in it.

Dammit, I was totally thinking I would be able to nab Amadeus. Overbreeding, and the like.
That has to be one of the worst edited modern movies ever. The director sucked balls. He cut out some amazingly important scenes. Watching the film with the scenes intact, the film makes a lot more sense. And is almost.... GOOD.

Don't know which version I watched. It was more about the D than serious plot progression, anyways.
How about soundtracks that sucked but for one song? Like Godzilla. Only the Rage song was good. Or that sick Roots track on Bait.
I didn't really like the End of Days soundtrack, except for that awesome Everlast song (which is actually the only song of his I have. That song should have been in Gus van Sant's Elephant, not End of Days.
