Great Spooky &/or Melancholic Soundtrack/Classical

Hi,

Spooky/Scary music:
I just bought the soundtrack to Phillip Glass's "Candyman I & II," and have been loving it ever since. Are there any other composer/movie soundtracks you recommend? I prefer those to be in instrumental, but if it has some vocals (such as Candyman I/II), I don't mind.

Melancholic/Soaring Music:
I watched "Possession" and totally fell in love with the score, then I realized it was done Gabriel Yared--who did the score to "English Patient." Do you, ladies and gentlemen, have any others to recommend?
I have Richard Robbin's "The Remains of the Day," which is wonderful too. I bought Jerry Figure's "Sleeping with the Enemy" just for its core theme track. "Dances with Wolves" is also another gem.

Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise.

Interview with the Vampire. No one's chimed in with that one yet. It's a good listen all the way thru except for the Gun 'n Roses song at the last track. That song totally destroys the mood of the CD, IMHO. Normally I just program all the tracks to play, but delete the last track. Does the trick or me!

There was also some musical recreation of the bombing of Dresden Germany - I think it was called Firestorm or something to that effect. I was quite sad and moving from what I recall. Also, not sure, but Schindler's (sp?) List might have a sound track. It might be melancholy. Not certain.
