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.

Two of my favorite film scores (others by these folks are good too, but these are their best):

the Score (not soundtrack) for American Beauty. All mostly percussion music but haunting and beautiful

The score for Chocolat. A fabulous disc, one of my favorites of all time. Perfect to cook to.

The Thin Red Line is also very good.
