Mephisto's post about the movie being so good you bought the DVD, doesn't really do much for me since going to the movies costs US$21 for me and the wife to attend. No popcorn or beverages.

So any movie that hits the US$19.99 mark, it's instantly something that makes sense to buy even if it's a crap movie because it's the same price without the annoying cellphone, crying child, and annoying tall person.

BUT, I can say there have been some times in my life where the soundtrack was just incredible. Sometimes where I left the theater, went straight to the record store and bought the CD.
(yes it kills me that the CD can cost the same as the DVD which I find inconceivable)e

Here's some of the soundtracks that I bought:

Little Mermaid (right after the movie)
Cocktail
Grosse Point Blank
Nightmare Before Christmas
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Some of the sountracks I needed:

Hackers
Romy and Michelle's Highschool Reunion
The Wedding Singer
Supercop

But if you meant original movie score, I have to go with:

Last of the Mohicans
Glory
Braveheart
American Beauty

onodrim

Matrix and Matrix Reloaded
Gladiator
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Blade
Ocean's 11
Forrest Gump

I'm sure there are more, but that's all I can think of. I'm not gonna include the list of musicals and operas I own, thats a different kind of soudtrack and would take too long.

It seems I have only bought one soundtrack ever, for the movie "Shocker."

I do have the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack that was given to me by a friend.

FoolThemAll

Just 2.

Return of the Jedi
Singles

And I've never even seen Singles. It's just a great grunge-era soundtrack, with one of Pearl Jam's top three songs.

Now you've hit a chord with me... I seem to have started collecting soundtracks and scores.

Of recent soundtracks, Kill Bill is excellent. As for my favorite alltime soundtrack, it's definitely a tie between The Lost Boys and Highlander.

LOTR (all three)

A good soundtrack is good if it can stand up in its own right. If listening to it doesn't necessarily evoke the film.

anleja

When I saw Casino, I wanted that soundtrack very badly, but I could not find it ANYWHERE.

I like the soundtrack to the movie Kids. It probably wouldn't sound half as good if I didn't see the movie.

Sleepyjack

The Shawshank Redemption.

Pretty much anything of Thomas Newman, and a lot of his stuff turns up everywhere.

Blade Runner: Vangelis

BraveHeart

Donnie Darko

Singles

...There are so many good mvoies with ambient stuff in it though, for which, i doubt, a sound track has been released.

CinnamonGirl

The Wedding Singer...and at the risk of everyone pointing and laughing, I went straight to the store from the theatre to buy the Josie & the Pussycats soundtrack. I love Kay Hanley's voice.

Oh--also went right from the theatre to the store for the Chicago soundtrack. I just recently caught Romy & Michele on TV, and decided I need that soundtrack, too.

I ran out right after seeing both Grosse Point Blank and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrells to buy the soundtrack, but in both cases I had to wait till the next day. Needless to say, I was a little anxious for the release of both.

Pulp Fiction is the only movie that inspired me to buy it's soundtrack.

Pirates of the Caribbean is great as long as you have some big speakers, the bass is lost on smaller speakers, but it is incredible.
