Best Movie Soundtrack

I'm with Trelja, "Alfie" is an amazing jazz album even if does have Michael Caine and Shelly Winters on the cover. Also check out the "O Brother, Where Art Thou" 'track, it carried the movie. I've read that Gladiator is quite something. Michael Caine on the cover is one thing but Russell Crowe?

"The Saint" soundtrack not the score has lots of different types of music that I find interesting. Also I really enjoy the "Magnolia" soundtrack, has mostly Aimmie Mann songs with a few others there for support.

I'm not a HUGE soundtrack guy but there are a few I own that I enjoy alot. Gladiator is one of the best soundtracks I've heard in years! At this point, I should tell you that I define soundtracks as music written for a film, NOT a compilation of songs from the "period" a film is set in, i.e., Forrest Gump, Big Chill, etc. Other favs are "Last of the Mohicans", "The Natural", "Chariots of Fire", "Empire Strikes Back", "Patton" - and - while originally a Broadway production - "Jesus Christ Superstar".

Can't forget "The Pink Panther" - classic Mancini!

Hands down the best movie soundtrack in the history of movie soundstracks is Passion, Music from The Last Temptation of Christ by Peter Gabriel, don't buy anything else until you get this one.
