I love every single song on this soundtrack - but I love pretty much everything Eddie Vedder writes and does with or without Pearl Jam:
The movie is Into the Wild - it's a great movie and the soundtrack is, I think, almost entirely original Eddie Vedder compositions written for the movie specifically.

I forgot about this song - and it's one of the very best in the whole movie:
Well if we're moving from 'favorite' to really like.....
I haven't yet seen someone post something I didn't already know and love - kudos people!
I loved this move - and soundtrack - a mixture of original score and dystopian alt electronic - best use ever of PiL's best track (screw you Blair Witch Project!)
I like Joe Hisaishi too. The score for Hanabi comes to mind - it's one of very few soundtracks I've ever bothered to buy. Peaceful, evocative music while I'm working.
Farmerman, the sweeping epic score of The Last of the Mohicans is an excellent choice. It can bring forth a swell of emotions even without it's accompanying film which is an excellent period film in the first place.

@farmerman,
Ken Burns has an excellent ear for bringing simple unobtrusive music to gently overlay his epic documentary series.

@hingehead,
Hingehead, you are the only person I have ever met who has ever mentioned the rare and highly effective B horror film Hardware. One of the most effectively scary films I have ever seen. Great score.

Not all great scores are the traditional classical instrumental chamber music/orchestra based scores.
I was unaware that Peter Gabriel was a film composer.
The second selection of a film, Familia(?), I never heard of before has a great menacing yet melancholic sensibility to it, especially the beginning. It's not on his IMDb page.

I love adore Asiatic influenced scores and one of my favorite film scores is from Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon:
The video is unrelated to the music - the 'familia' referred to was the spanish-speaking poster's family (hence the collage of old pics). The music is 'Gracie's recapture' from Gabriel's soundtrack for 'Rabbit Proof Fence'
