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.

Not sure if these have been mentioned, but these are some of my favorites (although I just re-read the OP, and I guess #s 3& 5 below would fit the bill).
1.Blue in the Face (Various artists, including David Byrne)
2.Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (K.D. Lang)
3.Passion: Music fot the Last Temptation of Christ (Peter Gabriel)
4.The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (Various, but mostly for Seu Jorge's renditions of classic David Bowie songs)
5.Amelie (Yann Tiersen)
