Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It's really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.

Tron Legacy.
One of the few soundtracks I can listen from front to back.
Highlander
Into the wild
Bad Company (Trevor Rabin)
Starship Troopers (Basil Poledouris)
Star Trek 2009 (Michael Giacchino)
The Mask Of Zorro (James Horner)
Gross Pointe Blank
Pump Up The Volume
To Live and Die in LA by Wang Chung is another great one that hasn't been mentioned yet
Not sure if "favorite", I can't recall every soundtrack I've heard, but definitely one of my top favorites and the first I thought of.
You Could be Mine was the perfect choice for the moped scene.
Mine is from the 1996 anime film X. It is based on a CLAMP manga and goes much harder than the poster would lead you to believe.
The soundtrack complements the tone perfectly with its experimental and unsettling atmosphere.
I just watched Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure yesterday and though the soundtrack is not original, the soundtrack made the movie.
The Mission 1986.
Fight Club, Amélie, The Crow (original), To Live and Die in LA
Last Samurai is super chill
Spawn The Album. Such great collabs! https://tidal.com/album/33972202?u
Also
The Horse Whisper https://open.spotify.com/album/5TkEej0XgyiQyWHfXwrE9w

The Natural
Hereditary solely for that ending banger. Or anything by Atticus Ross and/or Trent Reznor. I recently rewatched the Book of Eli and it feels dated, but THOSE SOUNDS.
Godfather 1 Highlander Empire of the Sun Backdraft Star Wars Ep. 4 Goodfellas Purple Rain
Lately, I've been listening to The Martian. I'm kind of a sucker for synthy orchestral compositions and that soundtrack is just so hauntingly beautiful.
Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe
Gladiator (that battle tune is timeless) Gone in 60 seconds Human Traffic Snatch & Lock Stock Guardians of the Galaxy I am Sam Magnolia
All make regular appearances.
Hotline Miami, Doom and Sim City are game OSTs that also get a lot of play time. Honourable mentions for Dark Reign, Spirit Farer and This War of Mine
Gladiator is good but give a listen to Mars from the Planet Suite by Holst.

Velvet Goldmine
Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead
Queen of The Damned' soundtrack is the GOAT. That cd was far better than the movie.
