I am very shocked no one has mentioned the GOAT: Blues Brothers.
That soundtrack had the best entertainers of the 70s backed by the best studio musicians of the 60s and 70s supporting the Queen of Soul. There’s nothing better.
Except maybe Marvin Hamlisch’s The Sting for which he won both an Oscar and a Grammy.
Change my mind!
I'm not going to try to change your mind, because it's an excellent soundtrack, but I think of soundtrack and score as different. Score is original music written specifically for a movie, whereas a soundtrack is a collection of previously existing songs, like Blues Brothers.
I love the scene where they play Rawhide and Stand By Your Man over and over again in the redneck bar to mollify the crowd.
