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 think that this is a compilation CD, but it is one of my favorites.

"The Masterworks of Satyajit Ray" on the Angel label.

My wife gave it to me on my B-Day and found it online (it's a CD). I have probably played it twenty times in the past few weeks.

Henry V, by Wm. Walton, particularly the version on Chandos records performed by the Academy of St. Martin's in the Fields, conducted by Sir Neville Marriner. Something a little different, but mind blowing.

Hardly an audiophile quality recording (and kind of a ripoff because 2 of the songs are repeated in their entirety), but I'd still recommend the soundtrack to "The Harder They Come". Essential reggae.
