If you are talking was ONLY a soundtrack written for a movie then you won't be left with much since most have a song or two written for it and the rest is from elsewhere. If it had to be one performed for a movie then I'll take When Harry Met Sally as I have played that CD many, many times over the years.

Take The Wall for instance. The album was 1979 and the movie was 1982.

The Big Chill. I love that Motown.

I can appreciate movie scores, but I'm not going to listen to them for entertainment.

I'm not enough of a movie buff to play with this criteria.

Lawrence of Arabia. Saw that maybe 30 years back, when the remastered version made the rounds. The score went with the stunning scenery.

I left the theatre very thirsty, if you know what I mean.

2001 a Space Odessy had a good soundtrack.

But the most notable song was written in 1896 ;)

   Okay, so take the "original" criteria as you would Beer style guidelines, adhere to it if it pleases you to do so, or ignore at will.
   I was watching TGTBTU the other night and was again very impressed with how appropriate the music was for each scene as well as the power of the music. I'll admit though that I wore out at least one vinyl copy of the soundtrack years ago.
   My thinking was that it doesn't require a great deal of creativity to gather up a bunch of previous hit tunes and make include them in a film, even mediocre films are usually improved an average soundtrack. And the number of movies which include a handful or more of hit songs is almost beyond counting. 
  I did watch most of "Lawrence" the other day and agree about the combination of scenery and original score, even if the score mostly consisted of variations on the original theme. Definitely the most visually stunning film I can recall seeing in a very long time, at least if viewed on a large enough screen.
  The Wall would probably qualify [mostly] even if it wasn't written specifically for the film, as the film was made for the music, as was Tommy. Under that exclusion Woodstock might also qualify.
   And yes, 2001 was a splendid match of music and visual, especially the Also Sprach Zarathustra scene.
I spent most of my money on beer, tools and guns, the rest I foolishly squandered on stupid stuff!

   I meant to include the qualifier of soundtracks that had an original score written specifically for the film. Would you listen to your suggested best just as a work of music, driving in your vehicle or sitting in your easy chair reading a homebrew magazine?

In that case, it is without question Basil Poledoris's The Hunt for Red October. As runner up I'll take Evita.

Yes, and it went from being pretty obscure, to the crap played out of it.

Another David Lean film, Dr. Zhivago, had a good soundtrack.

Hated the movie, but Crimson Tide has a great soundtrack. Either that or Black Hawk Down are probably Zimmer's best work. Most of his stuff since then gets pretty repetitive sounding.
Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.
