a great movie soundtrack of all time was/is 'Pretty Baby' by Louis Malle, real, down home, New Orleans Jazz and ragtime music, that fits the mood and action.

the use of Leonard Cohen's songs in 'McCabe & Mrs. Miller'

'One From the Heart' Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle

Tom Waits' 'Black Rider' is a stage musical recording that holds together from beginning to end, some unforgettable music

'Deliverance'

'The Songs of the Civil War' released in conjunction with the Ken Burns documentary is marvelous - McGarrigle Family, Hoyt Axton, Waylon Jennings, Richie Havens, etc.
