Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
should these be only ones that were written for the films or also can be ones that were used in the films though not written for them?
Hands down (IMO), the best movie soundtrack is from Maximum Overdrive.
Who Made Who is a hard rock album by Australian band AC/DC, released in 1986 as the soundtrack to the Stephen King movie Maximum Overdrive. It was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.
The film has a mid-1980s hard rock soundtrack composed entirely by the group AC/DC, King's favorite band. AC/DC's album Who Made Who was released as the Maximum Overdrive soundtrack. It includes the best-selling singles "Who Made Who", "You Shook Me All Night Long", and "Hells Bells".
Stephen must have paid one a pretty penny for the soundtrack.

The Basketball Diaries
It has a couple of poet/musician Jim Carroll's best songs (Catholic Boy (with Eddie Vedder) and People Who Died), PJ Harvey's Down By The Water, a previously unreleased Soundgarden track and many more gems.

Other movies I enjoy watching, sometimes just to listen to the soundtrack, include Easy Rider, A Hard Day's Night, American Graffiti, The Graduate, A Knight's Tale, Pulp Fiction, Quadrophenia, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Hanna, The Breakfast Club, Flash Gordon and Highlander (Flash Gordon and Highlander soundtracks were written by the rock group Queen).
My favourite soundtrack, and my favourite song from that soundtrack.
Used to blast that song and out my baby to sleep.
Jackie Brown
An interesting and fun collection of 70s R&B, Soul and Funk (and the odd inclusion of a Johnny Cash song). Bobby Womack's Across 110th Street is a favorite of mine.

Reservoir Dogs is probably my all-time favorite soundtrack. Honorable mentions include To Live & Die in L.A., Less Than Zero, and of course, The Song Remains the Same. Conan the Barbarian (1982) is great as well.
Quadrophenia is an awesome movie as well as an awesome soundtrack. I bought the Criterion Collection blu-ray version a couple years ago. It's all fixed up and looks and sounds great.
I ran out and bought a Panasonic quadraphonic sound system when The Who put out Quadrophenia. It was amazing at the time listening to the music 'travel' all around you.
That Tarantino movie with Kurt Russell as 'Stuntman Mike'. I bought the soundtrack on CD. It is most excellent. This was the first soundtrack I ever bought except for 'Flash Gordon' by Queen on vinyl when it first came out (although I never saw the movie).
Okay, I know I'm exposing myself to ridicule with the first two...
Valley Girl
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Goodfellas
You tell me a scene and I bet I could tell you the song playing during it.

You don't know what you're missing. The writing... well, let’s just say it’s out of this world.
‘Flash, Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!’
“Go Flash, Go!’
‘Flash Gordon. Quarterback. New York Jets.’
I just watched it again the other week. Have always had a crush on Princess Aura.
Valley Girl has great music in it! is "Eaten by the Monster of Love" on that?
I also forgot to add Heavy Metal from 1981.
I've always liked Valley Girl and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, too.
Never been a fan of mafia movies, so I can take or leave Goodfellas. Yeah, I know... Turn in your man card!
Yes, that song is in there. Isn't that where the kid rolls up on his bike to hit on the mom (thinking she's the one in the shower) and ends up with the daughter?
Goodfellas has a great soundtrack though, even if you don't care for the mafia movies.I've always liked Valley Girl and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, too.
