Also, not a soundtrack but the song I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. Will be playing it at my wife's funeral tomorrow.

Jim, sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. That song is iconic . Written by Dolly Parton . About 35 years ago I dated a whacked out girl, (which is one’s I always got) and she dumped me. Then about a months later the phone would ring around midnight and she never identified herself. Then that song would start. Somewhere around halfway through the song she would hang up. Both of her parents committed suicide.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
It's strange because I grew up at the same time that this movie set. I love Dazed & Confused.... It is as it was.
Great Movie & Soundtrack too. I was in HS also at the time period the movie was supposed to represent.
Also had a Chevy Malibu SS like the one McConaughey drove in the movie when I was a sophomore in 1976. Mine was a 1972 model that was green. But it had the 350 small block, not the 454 like the movie car.

Best Americana scene and soundtrack in any movie ever.
Uncle John had a hot rodded 32 in the 60's, midnight blue.
Hard to beat right there!

Lots of good ones here, somewhere in my boxes of albums, I have the soundtrack to "FM", I forgot how good it was! For a little offbeat, the ST from "Night of the Comet" was pretty good.
This thread has shown me that there are a lot of really good sound tracks. I was at a potluck in Bettles AK one year and someone was playing a great sound track, Toto and all. I asked what it was. " Guardians if the galaxy " because of this, it will always be one of my favorites
