Schinlers List
Streets of Fire
One Flew over..
Breakfast club
Out of Africa
The Sixth Sense.. don't recall one track but the whole movie sounds great!
... and of course, "Ghost" with P Swayze.
Check out the music from the movie "Congo".
LARGE Orchestral by Jerry Goldsmith!
Almost Famous (Who wouldn't want to go on that adventure?)
Stop Making Sense (Best concert film.)
Rattle And Hum
Immortal Beloved
Spinal Tap (As a silly comedy.)

The Ken Burns Jazz documentry is an excellent look at life, America and music.

I also liked the few Bob Dylan films that have been released. He is an interesting dude.
i was up at 3 in the morning in the mid-'80's. a grade B-ish brit movie came on the teevee. it was called "monster movie." i can't remember a thing about the plot, but the music was jaw-droppinly good. i waited for the credits at the end to find out the name of this band...the group called themselves "the can." it took a while to chase down their stuff, but the early can's work has been a staple on my TT for the last 20 years.
Amadeus, Almost Famous, Spinal Tap are all on my list, I just recorded Amedeus on HDNET the other day and am gonna watch it again soon. I like The Red Violin too.
