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.

Have you ever heard or seen the movie "Southern Comfort"? Ry Cooder soundtrack, very erie and cool. He also did the soundtrack for "Crossroads" w/ Ralph Macchio. Very bluesy, and cool. I've always like the Wang Chung soundtrack from "To Live and Die in LA", a great cop movie featuring Willem Dafoe and William Peterson (currently on CSI).

Check 'em out.
