Films/DVD Asylum

2001: A Space Odyssey is one of my favorite films. Recently I purchased a nice copy of the original soundtrack album. The music is exceptional but the experience of seeing the film with the same music is so much better. The music enhances the film and is so appropriate.

I'm wondering....what do you think is another film (not a musical), using existing music, where the music soundtrack was so appropriate that it enhanced the film, and visa-versa? A short list from me:

1. 2001: A Space Oddysey
2. Amadeus
3. Easy Rider
4. O Brother! Where Art Thou? (mostly - I think a few of the songs were written for the movie)
5. Coal Miner's Daughter
6. Dirty Dancing
