Soundtracks that you listen all the way through and it's all great.
Hey! sometimes the soundtrack is so good that you don't care about the movie anymore. The music behind soundtracks can be compilation of various artists rock, jazz or mixed styles or created by one composer. Electronic music soundtracks, orchestral neo-classical and other styles I will list my favorites here in this discussion:
1. Gladiator -- an awesome neo-classical movie score with voice of Lisa Gerrard on double-CD. near 2 hours of pure joyful music uninterrupted by movie. At the same time the role of Commodus was brilliant as well as Lucilla
2. Shining -- great movie and state of the art soundtrack done by Wendy Carlos.
3. Dark City -- great electronic score by Trevor Jones
In addition to several of those already mentioned:
"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" -- directed by Jacques Demy; music by Michel Legrand.
"Marry Me! Marry Me!" -- directed by Claude Berri; music by Emil Stern.
Both are 1960s French films. "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" is pretty much unique among non-operatic films in that all of its dialogue is sung, not spoken, and it is also exceptional in terms of its use of color.

"2001: A Space Odyssey" "My Fair Lady" "West Side Story"
