Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It's really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.

The Mask Of Zorro (James Horner)
Not sure if "favorite", I can't recall every soundtrack I've heard, but definitely one of my top favorites and the first I thought of.
You Could be Mine was the perfect choice for the moped scene.
Gross Pointe Blank
Fight Club, Amélie, The Crow (original), To Live and Die in LA
Escape from New York.
Oldboy.
The Natural
Hereditary solely for that ending banger. Or anything by Atticus Ross and/or Trent Reznor. I recently rewatched the Book of Eli and it feels dated, but THOSE SOUNDS.
Godfather 1 Highlander Empire of the Sun Backdraft Star Wars Ep. 4 Goodfellas Purple Rain
Last Samurai is super chill

Lately, I've been listening to The Martian. I'm kind of a sucker for synthy orchestral compositions and that soundtrack is just so hauntingly beautiful.
Velvet Goldmine
Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead
Gladiator (that battle tune is timeless) Gone in 60 seconds Human Traffic Snatch & Lock Stock Guardians of the Galaxy I am Sam Magnolia
All make regular appearances.
Hotline Miami, Doom and Sim City are game OSTs that also get a lot of play time. Honourable mentions for Dark Reign, Spirit Farer and This War of Mine
Gladiator is good but give a listen to Mars from the Planet Suite by Holst.
