Some of my favorites
Disney’s animated Robin Hood - some amazing folk songs, o brother where art thou has a lot of great old timey/folksy songs too
The Third Man - the zither to end all zithers
anything by John Williams or Hans Zimmer for that big epic sound with recurring motifs- star wars, Indiana Jones, interstellar, etc
Baby Driver - lots of variety, the chase sequence with Hocus Pocus by Focus is amazing
The Blues Brothers - not just great blues, tons of soul, motown, etc with a lot of energy
The Guest - parody of '80s action/thriller style movies, soundtrack is lots of electronic & synth, feels a little like a darker version of the Drive soundtrack which is also great
A couple directors that have a very specific sound direction/profiles to them too are Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, and John Carpenter.
Soundtrack or score?
Soundtrack: Judgement Night. Paired hip hop artists with rock and metal bands. Biohazard and Onyx fucking tear it up. And Faith No More and Boo Yaa Tribe sounds incredible.
Score: Terminator 2. James Cameron is incredible about quality sound in his films. One of the best directors for sound in the biz.
Beauty and the Beast
But also I recently saw the comedy Bottoms, and thought Charlie XCX did a great job with that soundtrack
Lost Highway with lots of tracks from Angelo Badalamenti.
Monsoon Wedding
Memories of Matsuko and Sakuran.
Buckaroo Banzai
Clerks
