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.

This one seems obvious - The Sound of Music, the two disc 5.1 edition, of course. And you even get a great movie, as well!

The one and only: Bernard Herrmann. Wrote the music for "Citizen Kane" "Magnificent Ambersons" "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" "The Day The Earth Stood Still" "The Wrong Man" "The Trouble With Harry" North By Northwest" "Vertigo" "Psycho" "Marnie" "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad" "Jason and the Argonauts" "Mysterious Island" "Journey to the Center of the Earth" "Sisters" "Taxi Drivers"... and more! And most of these are available as original soundtracks or excellent newly recorded versions. If you don't know Herrmann's music, you don't know film soundtracks.
