Star Wars.
Seriously, one of the best soundtracks ever to enter my ears was from "Last of The Mohicans"... very cool stuff.

Second on that list was the music from "Bladerunner" by Vangelis.

Samurai

I completely forgot! Can you believe the original idea was to use DISCO music in the movie?! (every other movie of the time was, kind of like how every action movie in the 90's used techno)

Are you implying that Star Wars isn't one of the best sound tracks?

NEVER!
I just love the music, especially the Imperial March (what I lovingly call Vaders' Intro Music)

Samurai

The best music in Star Wars is during the final Luke Vader duel in Return of the Jedi right before Luke cuts off his hand.

I liked the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, just because it complimented the movie so well.

Fight Club (The Dust Brothers)

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence(Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Sylvian)

Walker(Joe Strummer)

Suburbia(just look the bloody thing up)

Singles(Paul Westerberg)

Amelie(Yann Tiersen)

to name a few.

I thought Borat's movie had a pretty damn good sound track. And I'm not all that much into gypsy music.

since its getting down to the finals in baseball, "The Natural" with Robert Redford was on the other night and that really has one of the most outstanding soundtracks.

Blade Runner by Vangelis
Risky Business by Tangerine Dream
Heavy Metal by a bunch of great bands
Almost Famous by various artists
Joy Ride (the one starring Tobby Maguire)

for those of us that lived through the 1970's and remember it, Dazed & Confused has an outstanding soundtrack.
(and yes, I am watching it AGAIN... for like the 900th time and i still love it)

Give these a listen:

The Cinematic Orchestra - Man With a Movie Camera
Thomas Newman - American Beauty
Anything Yann Tiersen
Clint Mansell - The Fountain, Requiem For a Dream
Massive Attack - Danny The Dog

I would have to say John william's work, especially in Spielberg films, the collaboration of their work is great.
