In my opinion, Garden State was a really good movie, but it was definitely enhanced by the soundtrack. Coldplay's "Don't Panic" at the start was a great selection. Then there was the Shins tracks. There were some bands I never heard of, but the music fit well. The best moment was slow motion walking to Thievery Corporation's "Lebanese Blonde". The music made the film better. I think Braff won the Grammy for best film soundtrack. So that's my pick.
What is your pick? Best soundtrack to a film?

My favourites ( I love it when the Soundtrack makes the movie feel better, enhances the mood without letting you realize that you were listening to some music in the background):
1. Les Choriste (The Chorus)
2. Pirates of the caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
3. Forrest Gump
I forgot to add:
4. Batman Begins
5. The Lion King
and as the first person suggested, my wife also thinks that Dirty Dancing has the best soundtrack ever.

Well dialog has this happen a lot. It's what they call ADR (Additional Dialog Recording). It's usually used if the audio picks up a lot of background noise. Most any other effects are done in post production. Prop guns don't sound like real guns etc. I think the statement you made is false on the majority of situations. They take great care to film a scene and capture the audio live because doing ADR is tedious and costly. Mostly due to the fact that they have to call the actors back in for this late in the stage of production. A good sound man will find a way to have live audio work right.

For classical soundtracks, definitely the original Star Wars trilogy by John Williams, the master of movie scores.
For popular music, I would say Forrest Gump and Jerry Maguire both did a really good job of picking good songs that went with the movie.

Not that it is the best film created but let's face it - Top Gun would be nothing without it's soundtrack.
Garden State is by far the best soundtrack to go with a film- it's almost as if they planned the movie around the music.

Wim Wenders is a master director, and he has an outstanding ear:
Himmel über Berlin (aka "Wings of Desire")
Until the End of the World
Koyaanisqatsi can not be ignored: The film is the soundtrack is the film is the soundtrack is the film... also, the beginning of Koyaanisqatsi was the only "sound" my dog ever strongly reacted to... he came into the room from whereever he was, went right to the TV, stared at it a bit, sniffed, watched it some more, I called him next to me, and he came and watched for a bit, but left when the pace started picking up. The very first notes, there in the silo, always captured his attention...
Pi
You know, π: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944
Pi was *awesome*
And Kubrick. Clockwork Orange and 2001 spring first to mind, but Full Metal Jacket was all up in there, too.
...which reminds me... Apocalypse Now
and OMG how could I forget:
Matewan
!!!!
Yes, Matewan. (pronounced mate - wahn)
If you're looking to expand your soundtrack library, Pi, Himmel über Berlin, Koyaanisqatsi, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, and Matewan are definite must-haves!

Garden State definitely was a great soundtrack.
My 3 favorites are: Pulp Fiction, Empire Records and Reality Bites

That's funny...based on your subject line, I was going to pick "Garden State"...and then I saw that you already picked that one!
I would also have to add "Saturday Night Fever" to that list. The songs work beautifully in the context of the movie, but you can also enjoy the songs independently of it.

Hustle & Flow
The Crow
And another one that I can't think of right now. But I remember thinking what an awesome soundtrack it was and that we should buy it.

"O Brother, Where art Thou?" used real songs from Depression era (as well as some new ones)
"Last of the Mohicans" -- some new, some old
"Master & Commander" -- great classical pieces
"O Lucky Man" -- all original by Alan Price, ex-Animals.
