I agree with every one of these selections -- Reservoir Dogs is a personal fave and that Steeler's Wheel track is now inseparable from Michael Madsen's character's sadism. It showed that Tarantino clearly understood the power of the soundtrack.

I have a habit of buying movie soundtracks, even for films I've never seen; some have turned up amazing music, others ... not so much. I'm tempted to add "I'm Breathless" the Madonna album from and inspired by Dick Tracy.... but only because I listened to it endlessly -- not because it's really much good.
