Since there are a ton of Video Game soundtrack threads, why not make a movie one?

We've all fallen in love with a movie's soundtrack. Whenever it's beautiful, comedic, brutal, or uplifting. (I know, this sounds corny.)
This is the thread where one can share their favorite soundtracks. It doesn't matter what kind it is. It can be an original score, a compilation of songs that were used for the film, etc.

To start off, my favorite one is the Blade Runner soundtrack done by Vangelis. It just sounds so beautiful and it fits well with the film. The Synthesizers used were the best.

Gives me feels every time. It was half of the reason I liked Part 1 of the Hobbit movies.

It may not be as iconic as Stan Bush's The Touch, Dare, or Instruments of Destruction. But, you have to admit, Vince DiCola was quite a ahead of his time when he made music for the Transformers 1986 movie's Soundtrack; especially with Megatron must be stopped (one of my many personal favorites from the Movie's SoundTrack)

I'm a huge Danny Elfman fan. I could post a video of his best work, such as both Burton Batman films, Nightmare Before Christmas, or Beetlejuice, but like I usually do in threads of this nature I go for the obscure that strikes my fancy. This time being Elfman's Mars Attacks score. The thing I like about it is its strong use of theremin, which is one of my favorite instruments largely due to watching the film numerous times when I was younger, and the overall 50's science-fiction theme of the soundtrack which compliments the film very well.

Despite being a live musical first Les Miserable is my favorite, and I'm still counting this as the movie's soundtrack. I love the story and the music, and I really could care less what people say about Russel Crowe, I think he did great.

The Godfather's soundtrack is very high in my books of favourite soundtracks (I don't really have a favourite though).
It made an already great movie even greater, due to how great the music would set the tone of the scenes.
Although, I also really like Chariots of Fire from.. well.. Chariots of Fire.

Mulan is my favourite Disney film, mainly because of Mulan herself and the awesome score:

Another fave of mine is the 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack. I first saw that film when I was pretty young, and it got me into classical music :)

Being the big 80's person I am, two things come to mind

Gonna go with Frozen on this one
