Thirded. But then, I forgot 'The Lost Boys', so I'm doomed anyway.

I'm gonna add two I liked that haven't been mentioned:
Rocky IV and Remember the Titans. Rocky IV's soundtrack is perfect. Delightfully corny, bombastic music for a delightfully corny, bombastic movie. Remember the Titans, I think, mixed actual songs with a pretty good score.

Stigmata
Extremely atmospheric and goth-like. Plenty of beautiful and powerful songs.

Snatch
Already mentioned here, but still worthy for second time. The Stranglers' always excellent "Golden Brown" and Massive Attack's "Angel" (the song from their best album "Mezzaine") are the high points of this one. The slow-motion scene in the movie where Turkish's voiceover explains what might happen to Tommy if the gypsies decide to get ugly and "Golden Brown" plays in the background... Fantastic stuff.

Almost forgot Madonna's "Lucky Star" from the same OST. Makes you want to snap your fingers at the tune and sing in karaoke. So eighties it's beyond belief.

Mortal Kombat I definitely agree with. Same with Top Gun

Others I like include:
Shrek
Shrek 2
Titan A.E. - some people will probably hate me for this one, but there are a bunch of songs I really like. This is actually the first CD I bought for myself.
Forrest Gump
Rocky III - other Rocky soundtracks as well, probably, but this is the only one I own

I also follow the flow with this. How can you not love a CD with not only the Mortal Kombat theme, but great songs by Bile, Fear Factory and Napalm Death? I applaud any film with the sheer balls to have Napalm Death on their soundtrack.

It's got Powerman 5000's The End is Over on it, and that is one of my favourite PM5k songs.

If the Big Chill is the one that's essentially a Motown compilation with Procol harum on it, that was fucking great. Big Smokey Robinson fan.

Enjoyed Forrest Gump for the 60s tracks, likewise 1969 (which contained a hard to find piece by the lead singer of the Animals "When I was Young") and Veetnam war flicks like Platoon and Hamburger Hill which also had great 60s pieces.

One of my fondest memories of military service was a party in an AFV laager during an exercise in Queensland which essentially recreated the Underworld scene in Platoon with Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit shrieking and Smokey's Track of my tears crooning from the speakers (run off from a bank of spare batteries from my repair track.
