The obvious one is Into the Wild, how about other good ones?

    "Once" is a fantastic soundtrack.
    "Juno" is too.
    "Singles" is terrific.
    "Grease". That's right "Grease"! If you were 9 or 10 like I was when that movie came out, chances are you dug this soundtrack.
    "Brimstone & Treacle" was decent, esp. if you were a fan of the Police.
    "Repo Man" -- classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    "Superfly" is a required purchase, esp. if you're a fan of funk/70's R&B.
    "Pulp Fiction" and "Jackie Brown" -- I listened to these a lot after those two Tarantino films came out.
    "Boogie Nights" -- contains all those AM radio classics from the 70's
    "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
    Rock on!

    "I'm Not There" - two discs of Dylan covers by a ton of top-notch indie bands, released late last year, great stuff.

    I'm a big fan of the sountrack from the first 'Crow' movie. Lots of good stuff there.

    Also, I see edpearson mentioned the soundtrack for 'Once'. Thats a gooder.

    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    I'm not a movie fan, so this is an odd area for me.

    Not surprisingly I do like Into the Wild. Haven't seen the movie yet, but I do plan on at least renting it when the DVD comes out. The book was interesting.

    I just bought Swell Season by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova last night (haven't listened to it yet). It's my understanding this is the soundtrack to the movie Once? I doubt I'll ever bother to see the movie, but from what I've heard about it I expect I'll like the music.

    Other than that . . . I did buy (or receive) the Singles soundtrack. Never bothered to see the movie.

    It's strange. I can lay around for hours on end listening to music or reading a book, but I cant handle sitting still for an hour and a half to watch a movie - unless the movie involves music or was adapted from a book I love.
