OT: Favorite Movie Soundtracks

[RW90]

So, I'm sitting here listening to the Friday Night Lights movie soundtrack (because it's that kind of day), and got to thinking I don't recall any OT threads on movie soundtracks.

My personal GoTo's:

1. Rocky I
2. Rudy (but HATE the movie)
3. Friday Night Lights
4. American Graffiti

EDITED: How could I forget Rocky?
