I'm glad to see Jim Jarmusch get mentioned. My favourite director. Music is integral to his movies.
Also Dr. Zhivago, I think it was the first movie sound track I ever bought.
Can't believe O Brother Where Art Thou has not been mentioned. Sound track was the work of the talented T Bone Burnett.
Another good sound track, full of gumbo is The Big Easy.

Fucking love this movie. Disney + Lynch is such an odd and beautiful combo.

For anyone interested in 80s MTV era films that have good music. I can recommend Walter Hill's "Streets of Fire". Its a classic case where the soundtrack is better than the movie.
Things to keep in mind about the movie. It's basically a very strange combination of film noir meets serial comic book. The film didn't do well. It was up against Start Trek 3 and Indiana Jones Temple of Doom when it was released in June 1 , 1984 and it got pummeled in theatres as it was targeted at a young MTV era audience who had no idea what film noir was.
What makes the film unique is it has a soundtrack that was compiled specially for it by record execs to climb the billboard charts. They worked with very large artists trying to repeat the success of Saturday Night Fever but it bombed. Artists also refused to cooperate. Bruce Springsteen didn't give permission to use his song on which the film idea was based upon. Marlyn Martin replaced Stevie Nicks on the strongest track on the album. And they dropped all the Ry Cooder tracks as they were hoping to just cash in on a young audience buying the soundtrack in droves.

Pink Floyd: The Wall -- the studio album is my favourite music album, and the film's renditions weren't disappointing at all
Once Upon A Time In America -- saw this recently; the film had me captivated for all four hours, and the music is delicate and moving
The Godfather -- I only recall the main theme but that's enough to qualify it
