Gee, at this rate, next thing we know, there'll be a thread about "Music to Get Sober By." Which, from experience, is a considerably more challenging proposition.
Years ago, when I was newly sober, I met a guy who was heavily involved in Al-Anon, who also had a collection of film music. He used to refer to it as "Al-Anon Music," i.e. music which felt all the feelings for you, so that you wouldn't have to feel anything. Al-Anons are like that...

Come to think of it, so are alcoholics.
Believe me; I know.

He, he....another blast from the past, Howard! I must say that I find myself in agreement with my 19-year-younger self (see quote below). Principally, at least. I don't party as hard now as I did then, for obvious reasons. I was 23-24 then, and at the beginning of my "outrovert party period" with all that that entails (booze, women, dancing, pubs, discos, what-have-you).
I've always found film music to be more of a party pooper than a "party booster". Well, maybe a couple of cocktail-lounge type songs a la Henry Mancini and early Williams to warm up the evening, but eventually only good ol'fashioned rock/pop will do and - if people want to dance - some techno music (QUALITY TECHNO, though, not the boring stuff that haunts the Top20-lists).
I've found that Elfman's ska/indie/rock/funky 80's band Oingo Boingo is excellent "vorspiel"-music. For me, anyway.
