I agree with Ellen Ford, that soundtracks should be listened to while watching the film, but here's my favourites, anyway:

The Royal Tenenbaums. A mixture of Mark Mothersbaugh's score, and previously recorded stuff by Elliot Smith, Nico, the Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Clash, Nick Drake, and others. The cd's actually missing some of the more important songs used in the movie, but most of my favourites are on it. See the movie, though. :)

Breaking the Waves. The soundrack mostly has the music played in these short intermission-type things between the "chapters" of the movie. I actually don't even have the cd of this soundtrack, but I listen to it when I watch the dvd. :)

The Big Lebowski. Yma Sumac, Kenny Rogers, Townes VanZandt, Elvis Costello, Captain Beefheart. Woohoo! >:)

Time of the Gypsies/Dom za vešanje. Really cool Emir Kusturica movie, with an even cooler traditional/Goran Bregoviæ soundtrack. The cd I have of it isn't the best, though: It's a combination of music from DVZ and stuff from another film Bregoviæ worked on, and some of the best songs from DVZ are missing. :( Still, swell enough that I bought it. But, again, see the movie.


TV...

The Sopranos. Never bought any of the Sopranos soundtrack cds, and probably won't, but great music to hear while watching the show.

The Prisoner! God, I love this show. Got all the soundtracks. The opening theme is the best tv theme song, ever.

Hmm... That's all I can think of, for soundtracks. I like lots of tv show theme songs, though: "Boss of Me" by They Might Be Giants, from Malcolm in the Middle. The theme from "Rockford Files." The themes from the first two "Blackadder" series. The theme from "What's Happening!!" (Or maybe I just liked the show. The song gets stuck in my head alot, anyway. And I still occasionally enter rooms with "Hey HEY hey!") The theme song from "King of the Hill," by a band called "The Refreshments," I think. Tons more...
