what are your favorite movie soundtracks.


I am looking to get into more movie soundtracks that sound that survive musically without the movie. I am not interested in soundtracks a that take a bunch of pop offerings a that are basically a collection of pop hits/songs but are origional soundtrack recordings that can be listened to all by themselves.

Some that I have tried with various amounts of successs are Glory, Schindler's List, Dances with Wolves, and Murder in the First.

I do not care for opera, rap or country but everything else is an open book.

I watched Hangover 2 on a flight after a lot of wine and thought is was a brilliant movie with a great soundtrack. I saw about 5 minutes of the very same movie a few months later and all i can say is you need a LOT of wine.
Lawrence of Arabia
Bridge on the River Kwai
Doctor Zhivago
High Noon

My favorites.

LofA..great suggestion.
Fantastic story, cinematography and soundtrack.
Surprisingly relevant after all these years.
"The Decendants" if you like Hawaiian music or just want a nice intro to it. So accessible and pretty sounding I almost feel guilty like I should put on something screechy and hard to get in to but I usually listen to the whole album. This soundtrack made me go out and buy more Hawaiian music.
