mahjong legend akagi. the soundtrack was just 1 of the reasons why the show was so awesome.
another reason is having amuro as the narrator
anytime you need a soundtrack for brooding and/or deep contemplation...
 
For anime, pretty much anything by Yoko Kanno, don't have a clear favorite either.

For games, there's a lot of memorable RPG tunes, but I'd say Mr.Driller OST tops the list because you don't even have to play the games to appreciate it.

other instrumental is ok too, like from Haibane or Shadow of the Colossus

generally soundtracks are boring to me thou...
 
Game: Shadow of the Colossus

Anime: Brain Powerd

Funny thing is, I think SotC is totally overrated as a game, and Brain Powerd is pretty much unwatchable.
 
Anime :

Yoko Kanno. God composer. Pretty much all her soundtracks. Visons of Escaflowne, Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Macross Plus, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, Please Save My Earth

Joe Hisashi - Everything Miyazaki from Nausicaa. Amazing composer.

Whoever did some of music for RahXephon and Eureka 7, especially the opening themes.

Whoops nealry forgot Hirasaw Susumu - Berserk, Millenium Actress, Paranoia Agent, Paprika

and

Tsuneo Imahori for the Hajime no Ippo soundtrack as well as Trigun.

Video Games : Halo Soundtrack, Chrono Cross Soundtrack
 
Cowboy Bebop (all of them)
Haibane Renmei (I've been using Love Will Light the Way to demo hi-fi gear for years)
Heat Guy J
Trigun
Hellsing
Excel Saga

Persona 3/4
Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Blue Dragon
Secret of Mana
Zelda: OoT

I would pay good money for that version of the soundtrack (only have digital iTunes version). Amazingly stuff though. (It's The World Ends With You International OST btw)

I am not exaggerating -- the Final Fantasy XIII OST is perhaps the best in the entire series, and without a doubt one of the best game OST's of all time. I have never heard game music this good. Period. No, I'm not jumping on the hype bandwagon as it nears release in NA/EU. It's just a flawless OST. The bar has been raised. I don't know if it can be raised much higher.
