Soundtracks that got it right

My counter to Stravo's thread. Which soundtracks got it right?
Of course, it's pretty hard to fault TPM: Ultimate Edition; having the individual themes would be nice, but it did have every single musical cue in the movie so far as I could tell.
The Rock comes to mind as well. I think this was one of the better ones, "Rock House Jail" especially. In the movie, it played great, even when it was split up among thirty minutes or so (it even had track 8, "The Chase" in between it during the movie!) of other action, and could still sound great. And, on the CD, with it all together in the 10 minutes or so of the track, it flows together perfectly. Most tracks I hear are done all together in the movie; this one wasn't, and still sounded great, despite the decidedly varying themes sprinkled throughout. I have yet to hear another song like this.
Pirates of the Caribbean is another one. I'm not sure if it got all the music from the movie (been awhile since I last saw it), but it flows together very well on the CD. I can turn it on, not pay any attention, and think it was just one very long ass song. Well done, well done indeed.
Yours?
