Once again, not my favourite but the last one listened to all the way through. This time it's from a film I doubt I'll ever see, although you never know. Directed by Piero Schivazappa, Femina Ridens (1969) features an evocative score by Stelvio Cipriani:

My favorite soundtrack is the 1980 "Xanadu" soundtrack. The Oliva and ELO songs (plus the cut featuring The Tubes) actually makes for a solid album. Those are definitely the Olivia Newton John tracks that have held my interest the most over the years and the ELO tracks are just good, strong pop. I've always looked upon "All Over The World" by ELO as the intro theme song to the decade of the 1980s (the decade I came of age in). I was in 5th grade when this soundtrack album was on the charts and a girl in class used to bring it to school and we'd play it during breaks.

As far as Jon Brion OST's go, I'm still in love with "Eternal Sunshine"--that album really plays like an album, with only a couple minor exceptions (that strummy acoustic song in the middle I could do without--not a Jon tune, BTW). Most of the non-Jon stuff is great too--whether he picked those for inclusion, I don't know, but some of them sure feel like it...

No idea whether this has been linked already, but after watching the 2013 film adaptation of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby on two successive nights it struck me what a great job Jay-Z made of the OST. This is "Bang Bang" by will.i.am ft. Shelby Spalione:

Christopher Willis's score for The Death of Stalin is right on the nose, as they say. (Not Shostakovich's opera The Nose, although there's certainly a very strong Shosty component to it eminently befitting the post-Stalin mood of this extraordinary and often gut-bustingly funny film.)

I think you'd need to see I dolci inganni (Sweet Deceptions, 1960) before the OST made any sense. I watched it a few days ago and was enchanted:
