"Police" - the film score was the only vinyl recording of Gorecki's Symphony of Sorrowful Songs (#3). One of the most important pieces of modern, serious music, IMO.
"Rocky Horror", a guilty pleasure.

Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites
I love the cinema and some of my favourite albums are from films, TV and shows. There seem two basic variants, a score written for the film and compilations of existing tracks, used in the film. So what are your favourites? I'll start.
Original scores:
Hard to avoid Hans Zimmer and why would you want to.
Hans Zimmer, "The thin red line" Not his best known, but a great score.
Honourable mention:
Korngold, "The Sea Hawk"
Compilation scores:
"Dead man walking" A really great film too.
Honourable mentions:
"Philadelphia"
"The Sopranos" That's the original from the first series
I am sure you can all think of better ones.
