Trainspotting surely

This

Bladerunner

The Thin Red Line. Journey to the line is an incredible piece of music.

The harmonica theme was so good that Barry used the melody again for "You Only Live Twice" ... in a slightly mutated form of course..

Great shout. If you haven't seen Harry Nilsson's live performance of "Everybody's Talkin", look it up.

I thought You Only Live Twice came out a few years before Midnight Cowboy?

The Scarface soundtrack is outstanding, my favourite by a long shot.

Goodfellas

Possibly did. Theme only Lived Twice still.

Dirty Dancing, every song a cracker

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

Magnolia.

Mainly Aimee Mann, but some additional crackers too.

Grease
Rocky
The Greatest Showman

Grace Of My Heart is well worth a watch, if only for the stellar soundtrack. To suit the plot of Carole King and Brian Wilson falling in love at the height of their powers, contemporary songwriters including REM, Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach were tasked with writing songs that sounded like they could have come out of the Brill Building.

My favourite of all though was this wee faux-Beach Boys beauty by Dinosaur Jr ....
