great list, a little bit of everything

i'd add

The Third Man (Anton Karas, 1949)
Suspiria (Goblin, 1977)
The Last Temptation of Christ (Peter Gabriel, 1988)
The Proposition (Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, 2005)
Dead Man (Neil Young, 1995)
Local Hero (Mark Knopfler, 1983)
Natural Born Killers (Various/Trent Reznor, 1994)

The Best Years of Our Lives (Hugo Friedhofer, 1946)
Death in Venice (Mahler, 1971)
Nashville (Various, 1975)
The Landlord (Various, 1970)
Nightmare Before Christmas (Danny Elfman, 1994)

The "Collateral" ost was quite good!

Suspiria & Nightmare Before Christmas... I'm in.

Suspiria most definitely!

The Edward Scissorhands soundtrack would have made my top 100 albums had it been eligible!

Please remind me of why Edward Scissorhands wasn't eligible. I can't think of a reason.

Superb list. A list including Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone, Ry Cooder, Angelo Badalamenti, Goran Bregovic or Bernard Herrmann can’t be bad (not to mention Bach, Schubert or Gershwin). Maybe Elfman was the only injustified absence.

The Edward Scissorhands soundtrack has an unfortunate inclusion of Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual". I guess that meant it was viewed as a compilation.
