Music adds so much to a film, so what are some movies with really great soundtracks?

My picks, off the top of my head, would be Harold & Maude (Cat Stevens!), C.R.A.Z.Y., Once, August Rush, Wild Tigers I Have Known, Love Actually, Linda Linda Linda, Forrest Gump, & Les Chansons D'Amour.

p.s. hope there isn't already a topic about this....didn't notice one....

The movie "Hanna" with Saiorse Ronan has a lovely soundtrack if you're looking for something a little different. "Once" also has a sweet romantic and rather sad soundtrack as well.

If you're looking for dreamy soundtracks (without many lyrics) that sort of make you feel like you're life is a movie, I'd recommend these:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Fantastic Mr. Fox (there are some weird ones on here, but the instrumental ones like "Mr. Fox in the Fields" and "Kristofferson's Theme" are beautiful)
Little Miss Sunshine

I bet that Everything is Illuminated has a great one, although I haven't gotten around to downloading it.

"Nick and Norah's Theme" from Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is a great one!
