Most soundtracks do not have a consistent feel throughout due to the inclusion of a few cuts. I sometimes program my CD to skip those cuts but mostly I forget and have to push the next track button. These tracks don't fit the overall tone of the piece, but were included for specific scenes in the movie.
Regardless, here are some good ones:
Planet Terror
Mission Impossible (the original from TV)
Touch of Evil
City of God
Almost anything by Morricone
Unobtainium:
The French Connection
Thunder Road
I also have to second both Gabriel's "Passion" and "Hell or High Water", both excellent, although quite different.
