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.

Rok2id, this is movie soundtracks. You say the name of that movie was "Don't Mess With Bill", and it starred The Marvelettes. I wonder how come I never saw it.
1492 Conquest of Paradise soundtrack is excellent to my taste. Composed by Vangelis. Gerard Depardieu as Columbus. Quite a film, at times difficult to watch.
few with Jazz music:
Kansas City
St.Louis Blues
Ascenseur pour l'echafaud
Radio Days
Round Midnight

Hakuchosan, that was a very good list. I especially liked the movie "Round Midnight", as well as the soundtrack.
