The Best Movie sound Tracks


Can you tell me your opininons on the best Movie Sound Tracks out there that makes your system really sound its best. Some older remaster pieces, like Henry Mancini's greatist including "Peter Gunn" sounds very thin and compressed. Why is that so. Appreciate all you info.

Thanks,

I really love "Emerald Forest," and is one of the few not already listed. I strongly agree with the posters who mentioned both "Lift to the Scaffold," with Miles Davis, and "The Mission."

Off from the usual sound track genre, but totally mesmerizing for me, "The Last Temptation Of Christ." Performed by Peter Gabriel, strange and at the same time, hauntingly beautiful.
Magnolia is absolutely wonderful. (Even if the movie wasn't)Aimee Mann does the majority of the album. Absolutely black background, very well recorded. Her vocals are truly amazing. Interesting accompaniments and background vocals as well. By far my favorite soundtrack.
I'll second Albert's suggestion of the "The Last Temptation of Christ." Sonics are so-so, but good music.
