blackcauldron85, I think it is so great you are getting into scores! As for me, I've always been a score listener. I love them so much. It's like whoever built me put in to love soundtracks and was about to insert the lyrics too but it fell out and got lost.
Any who, even though I have a LOT of soundtracks, I don't really know too much. It is all knowledge I gain from watching the movie and listening to the soundtrack a lot.
I think there are many reasons as to why composers don't put a complete score:
-New music is written for the film after the soundtrack is close to release.
-Not enough disc space.
-The composer just chooses not to put it on there.
-Longer tracks on the soundtrack vs the movie is a result of an edited scene possibly.
-Tracks are taken out because they repeat so much.
Prisoner of Azkaban - John Williams: Best soundtrack of the HP series. Quidditch, Third Year in the film is a shorter track than the one on the soundtrack. Yet, we don't get the music when Harry and Hermione fly to the Dark Tower to save Sirius.
Goblet of Fire - Patrick Doyle: The Maze is very short compared to the movie version. The Black Lake on CD contains a lot more music, yet Harry is swimming in complete silence. (The director probably didn't like the music because he's no John Williams
)
Half-Blood Prince - Nicholas Hooper: Wizard Wheezes is a new track for the Weasley brothers shop scene but is not played at all. Instead, we get a reprise of Fireworks from Order of the Phoenix where the brothers cause chaos in the Great Hall.
Spirited Away - Joe Hisaishi: Compared to the movie, the soundtrack is not as long because there are a lot of cues Hisaishi repeats. The Return is played after everyone in the bathhouse cheers for Chihiro for cleansing the river spirit. Even though the way it is titled it is supposed to be for Chihiro passing Yubaba's test, Hisaishi probably didn't want to put the same cue of music twice. Also, the part with Chihiro working alone is the same score as the part where all the workers have formed, Hisaishi chooses to shorten the track.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Danny Elfman: The track where the visitors of Wonka's factory ride the boat, it isn't at ALL how the one in the movie sounds. The one in the movie is a reprise of the beginning main titles.
A Series of Unfortunate Events - Thomas Newman: The train scene contains the same cue as Hurricane Herman, yet the track for the train scene is totally different on the soundtrack!
The Incredibles - Michael Giacchino: I think Giacchino is the one rare composer who is both good and release everything he composes for his films.
Hope this helps!

I've been really enjoying the scores I've been listening to so far (except the Mulan made me turn my speakers up and down like crazy at some parts!

Disney: I don't know. Too many to choose from. It changes with the day, but I really love the score for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."
Pixar: "Up." Yes, pretty much all of their scores are good, but this was the first one where I actually gasped at the music itself the very first time I saw the movie.
