Il start light and move on to more contreversial suggestions:
Those already mentioned:
Amadeus (BTW the sound track on vinyl is pretty good too!)
The soloist (so-so, too much digital enhancement for my taste)
Now for a few new ones that come to mind:
Departures (Japanese film that won best foreign film at the 2009 academy awards) The central character is cellist that looses his job. Great music and movie.
Dancer in the dark.
Bjork! and Lars von Trier! Not for everyone, but if you like contemprary electronique music it is great.
My next suggestion is about the music, within the context of the movie, and not an endorsment of the movie itself. Just watch the prologue it's enough (if not too much) Lars Von-Trier's Antichrist. The opening seen features the Aria Lascia Ch'io Pianga, it is emotionally outstanding. Having a young son, the seen really struck a cord and it is no small part due to the music.
On a lighter note, best musical TV episode (no not Glee!) is the Simpson's episode where they go to Italy to chase Side-Show-Bob and end up at la Scala, where Krusty The Clown is performing "I Pagliacci" and finally Side-Show-Bob removes Krusty from the stage just in time to sing "Vesti la Giuba"... The show inside the show inside the show, you gotta love the Simpson's
Wow, after re-reading my post I seem to have a really grim taste in movie and music.
