You have gay rain?
TOTALLY kidding, totally kidding!
Because it's finally fall down south here, I've been listening to a ton of Thomas Newman, especially The Shawshank Redemption. "Rock Hammer" and the "Shawshank Prison" cues just sound great for walking through leaves.
Well, I guess I know what I'm listening to in 10 minutes.
P.S. Horner's more reflective moments, like in The Man Without A Face are good for rainy days, as is "The Princess Pleads" from Braveheart.

The Accidental Tourist is a GREAT pick.

If it's thundering any, and especially if it's dark, pop in LLLR's 2CD set of "MillenniuM".
Select cues from "Signs".
And of course Intrada's new "Salem's Lot".

Blade Runner. A thousand times Blade Runner.
I also find Kenji Kawai's Ghost in the Shell and Yoko Kanno's mournful jazz cue "Space Lion" perfect for looking out a rain-spotted window and growing contemplative. But that's probably, at least in part, because these scores also remind me of oft-overcast cities like Hong Kong and Tokyo.
And while I missed my chance to pick up Dave Grusin's The Yakuza for its original (and reasonable) sales price, I suspect that would be a good score for a rainy day, too.

How about Michel Legrand's "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg" ("The Umbrellas of Cherbourg")? And if I could add something non-soundtrack-related, Streisand's "Wet" album had some great songs for a rainy day -- "On Rainy Afternoons," "Wet," "After The Rain." And I used to love to play Rod McKuen's "The Sea" on rainy days.
As for soundtracks to play on rainy days, my own choices would include (and which has nothing to do with rain) John Barry's "Somewhere In Time." Actually, just about ANY John Barry would be great on a rainy day.

The slow, bluesy tracks from 25th HOUR work nicely
