Daniel Lanois' instrumental soundtrack to Sling Blade is absolutely gorgeous

The bluegrass soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou couldn't fit the movie any better

Peter Gabriel's instrumental soundtrack 'Passion' for "The Last Temptation of Christ" was also brilliant

Phillip Glass (or was it Brian Eno?) totally and utterly destroyed the (should be-)wonderful film Koyannisquatsi by puking that crap all over it

Maybe you should change the thread title into "Existing music that happens to fit nicely in some film"

My first thought when I saw "favourite marriage of music and film" was Requiem for a dream...

but it was a commissioned soundtrack, wasn't it? I'm talking about existing music which the director (or whoever) has chosen to accompany a film.

Speaking of Donnie Darko, the "Head Over Heels" part is pretty sweet.

But I have to say that the CLASSIC all time musical treatment of a movie is "2001:Space Odessey" where the "Zarathustra" intro plays over the apes becoming aware of themselves. It's so classic that it's become

the sound track to DOA (the punk film that is)

All of Hal Hartley's films, especially Amateur.

A soundtrack with PJ Harvey, My Bloody Valentine and Yo La Tengo on it!!!!

"A Night at the Roxbury" with Haddaway's "What Is Love". Generally I like Stanley Kubrick's use of music.

Ooh, I've suddenly become the be-Muffed one:

Singles was a really bad film with great sound track.

But a good film with a soundtrack like that:

Grosse Point Blank!!!!

Pixes, Cure, Violent Femmes, FNM!!!

YEAH! That movie is so sweet, especially the very first song in the opening credits by "I, Monster".

Favourite marriage of "NON-SOUNDTRACK" music/film
