Movies with great music in them?

[Trouble Maker]

What are some of your favorite movies that has music as an integral part of the movie? So integral that is almost, or is a MacGuffin.
I guess it doesn't have to get to MacGuffin level for it to be a great addition to the movie and well integrated.

A movie that immediately comes to mind for me, my inspiration for this thread, is Baby Driver. It's not only a great film, the music is a critical plot point to the main character as well expertly timed with the on scene action.

So, what other movies do you like that have great music well integrated into them?
I feel with the combination of music and movie/home theater lovers here you all have some good ones we can all enjoy watching.

Sorry, maybe this should be in "Movies and TV Shows" forum. Mods feel free to move, or leave here, up to you.

I saw Ken Russell's "The Music Lovers" as a teenager - I went to see Glenda Jackson naked, and came away loving Tchaikovsky, which turned me on to classical music in general. There's a UK movie called "Brassed Off", about brass bands in a mining community - wonderful music. And "Manhunter", the original Hannibal Lecter movie, with a long, great chase scene set to Iron Butterfly's "Inna Gadda da Vida". That was certainly well integrated.

All movies directed by Sergio Leone and Giuseppe Tornatore.
Also movies directed by Pedro Almodóvar and Alfonso Cuarón Orozco.

They have among the best picture movie scores.

Just too many to mentioned, Google them (director's filmmographies); you'll recognize a bunch.

No the acting is not the greatest, but the digital effects and soundtrack more than make up for it.

The score Clapton did for the movie Rush was excellent (as was Gregg Allman in the movie itself).
