Not really musicals per say say but Wes Anderson movie sound tracks are always perfection.
the Royal Tenenbaums, The fantastic Mr Fox, Life Aquatic and Moon Rise Kingdom are movies for me that could be listened to with my eyes closed.

Yup, always eclectic selections in W. Anderson films.  "Rushmore" is a personal fave.  And that's just for The Creation - probably the most underrated '60s act ever...

3 faves, not just soundtrack music, but the actual band playing live in the scene:

Tommy Keene and band doing their possibly best tune "Run Now" as the bar-band in the forgettable Anthony Michael Hall movie "Out Of Bounds"

The Feelies in Something Wild

The Plimsouls in Valley Girl (...in the bar, a few different times, including....awesomely..."A Million Miles Away"

I just watched Valley Girl a couple of weeks ago and they actually play "Million Miles Away" twice!

Also, how about Walter Hill's Streets of Fire?

In addition to great Joy Division/New Order music featured in this film, there was also some Bowie, Velvets, Iggy and Kraftwerk on the soundtrack.  Great film.

The Grunge era doesn't get much love around these parts, but this movie's soundtrack was instrumental in defining the genre:

The soundtrack also contains the only song by Pearl Jam that I still love ("State of Love and Trust").
