Best Motion Picture Soundtrack?

Personally, I thought the soundtrack from the movie "Singles" had the best collection of songs for one album soundtrack:

Love that sountrack!I had that movie poster hanging on my wall for years!
 


The Fountain, Moon, Solaris (2002),

Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, The Crow, Trainspotting, The Wanderers
 


Which begins with the song from another movie.


Big fan of this one from YOUTH:


And this:


This has made it onto several films:

 
So many to name but first one to pop up if we are talking OST here is Mad Max FR.

 
My two favs are The Crow and Into the Wild

I mean there are some others that aren't original that are good but I don't really credit soundtracks where they slap together a bunch of hits.. anyone can do that.
 
Most good ones already mentioned so I´ll include the danish mini series Charlot and Charlotte

Soundtrack included, among others

 
As for "Scores" go I'm going to have to go with Conan the Barbarian the original with Arnold not that piece of crap With Momoa. Basil Poledouris CTB score is one of the best of all time imo the only soundtrack I would listen to

You ever see him perform it live right before he died? It's on YouTube
 
I love Scotty Doesn't Know. Matt Damons best cameo ever.

My favorite soundtracks are....
