Miami Vice - Great made greater by music selection.

Watchmen - Had heard all the songs plenty of times, but they were used so well, particularly The Sound of Silence.

There are a few outstanding tracks on the Miami Vice soundtrack.

Magnolia integrates a lot of Aimee Mann's music into the narrative.
.

A movie that is only a great soundtrack is Vanilla Sky. I felt it squandered the dramatic potential of the story (the Spanish original is very effective though)
