Limiting myself to one album per artist, my list would go as follows.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Ennio Morricone
It is, in my opinion, the greatest music ever recorded. It's beautiful and it's epic an I love it.

Koyaanisqatsi - Philip Glass

Minimalism at it's finest.

The Harder They Come - Jimmy Cliff/Various Artists
It fits the film perfectly, and it is one of the finest reggae records ever made. I love this soundtrack, and it's one of the few times where the score outshines the film itself.

Lord of the Rings Series - Howard Shore
I own the complete editions of all three soundtracks.

Fight Club - Dust Brothers
A damn fine trip-hop album, this score set the tone for the film, and it stands alone very well. I wasn't a huge fan of the film, but I am a huge fan of this album

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Nick Cave/Warren Ellis
It's simple, but it's very and emotional and damn near perfect.

North by Northwest - Bernard Herrmann
This is my favorite score by Bernard Herrmann. It's the best representation of his works. It's very suspenseful, with a dash of comedic feeling.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind - John Williams
This is John William's best score, in my opinion.

There Will Be Blood - Jonny Greenwood
This music is really unsettling. If fits the film perfectly, and matches the emotional turmoil in the film and in Danile Plainview.

Blade Runner - Vangelis

The soundtrack from Juno is my favorite. Great tracks by Kimya Dawson, Buddy Holly, Sonic Youth, Belle & Sebastian, Cat Power and Velvet Underground. How can it be anything but great?
A few other decent soundtracks are the ones from The Exorcist, Before Sunrise/Sunset, Adventureland and City of Angels

Donnie Darko has always stood out to me. Awesome mix of 80s songs and original score.

The cover of 'Mad World' on that soundtrack is awesome. I prefer it to the original.
