Oh, another abolute great. The music from the Goonies by Dave Grusin. The Fertalli Chase. Sadly this song is not on the Goonies movie sound track, but it is avaliable on Dave Grusin's greatest hits CD. I bought the whole CD for that one song. Oddly enough, the rest of his music is totally different and dare I say borning.
That song is now avaliable on SACD and I havn't bought it yet, but I probably will, just for that one song.

I'd have to nominate the original Star Wars as having the most recognizable soundtrack of any movie.
My favourites would be
The Good The Bad and The Ugly - Ennio Morricone
Blade Runner - Vangelis
Conan the Barbarian - Basil Poledouris
Saturday Night Fever - Bee Gees & Others
Lawrence of Arabia - Maurice Jarre
Queen's 80's soundtrack to Metropolis was pretty good too, as was Highlander for that matter.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but the soundtrack (sort of) for the War of the Worlds done by Jeff somebody and others in the 70's was a great recording. Story and music.
EDIT: Found it. Some impressive names there.

I'll try to keep it varied
Must repeat these:
I didn't know about the Gabriel one though... I'll have to check that out. On a similar note, it's not a soundtrack, but OVO is incredible.
Must repeat these:
- Chicago
- Romeo + Juliet
- Clockwork Orange
- All Beatles films (especially Yellow Submarine)
- Moulin Rouge
- Rocky Horror Picture Show
- Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
- Any John Williams sound track (E.T., Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc.)
- Slumdog Millionaire
- The Thomas Crown Affair (original)

nobody's mention Jesus Christ Superstar yet?
Okay, this one's a bit obscure... Nocne Graffiti (Night Graffiti)
It's a Polish movie starring singer Kasia Kowalska
The music is mostly by Robert Janson, his band Varius Manx does several of the songs and Kowalska does one.
here's links to some vids with music from it, not super quality, but you get an idea..
