I can only recall a couple of soundtracks in my collection:
Lady Sings The Blues was my entry point into jazz with Diana Ross singing the part of Billie Holiday.
Sweet Dreams was a similar biopic of Patsy Cline, and the album takes the original Cline vocals and uses rerecorded backing music.
On the subject of Angelo Badalamenti, there are a couple of good collaborations I've heard:
The record he made with Julee Cruise is a spin-off from the Twin Peaks stuff and is a gorgeous hazy laid-back affair.
He also made an album with Tim Booth from James under the name Booth & The Bad Angel. This is very different, from the Twin Peaks/Julee Cruise material, but is also very good.
