Garden State - Rock and pop indie collection including the Shins and Frou Frou
Away We Go - Mostly all Alexi Murdoch, my favourite singer as well as a bit of Lou Reed and The Stranglers
Adventureland - All classic 80s alternapunk including Lou Reed, Big Star, Husker Du
500 Days of Summer - Probably best indie soundtrack out there

There are more, I can't think of them right now

For me it's the Tron soundtracks. The original had a very unique sound crossed between synths and the orchestra, and the work Daft Punk put in Legacy's soundtrack was AMAZING.

The remixes from the latter's "Reconfigured" album just add to the greatness. :)

My favorite one of all time is The Matrix. The music on that soundtrack is superb. My other favorites are Shaun of the Dead, Tron: Legacy, Garden State, 28 Days Later, Halloween II (Original), and Collateral.

I will add- Ennio Marcone is the best music for movie score writer ever. Just watch one of Sergios movies, and you'll know what I mean.

Star Wars (any episode).

And if John Williams and his orchestra aren't your thing, then The Committments.
