Most if not all of Michael Mann's sountracks obliterate the thread.

definitely the exit music from Star Trek: First Contact by Jerry Goldsmith. I think it's his most beautiful score EVER >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOajzx-W1rI&noredirect=1

GREAT selections. bought the Easy Rider soundtrack CD years ago and has all the excellent music from the movie PLUS additional "acid rock" from that period on the 2nd CD.

A Clockwork Orange BEST music isn't even Beethoven. the use of Rossini's Overture to La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie) in the fight in the casino scene early on is brilliant as is Wendy Carlos synthesizer version of Overture to the Sun in the opening milk bar scene with Alex and his three droogs. also the use of Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance later on

another movie that makes excellent use of classical is Goon using the finale to Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot in the final fight scene. absolutely OUTSTANDING

AND for classical music fans are there two better soundtracks than Amadeus (1984) for Mozart or Immortal Beloved (1994) for Beethoven? BOTH great introductions to their timeless music

I'm shocked only one person has brought up Dazed and Confused.  To me that's the gold standard for amazing soundtracks.  Captures the movie perfectly, and has classic songs that stand on their own without the movie.
