what are your favorite movie soundtracks.

Here are some soundtracks that aren't collections of pop songs that I still listen to and love:
Paris, Texas soundtrack by Ry Cooder
The Hours--piano music by Steve Reich
The Piano--original music composed by Michael Nyman
Koyanuutsu or whatever--really cool soundtrack but I can't remember the spelling of the name of the movie
Last of the Mohicans--music by Trevor Jones
The Mahabharata--on the Realworld label
Of Mice and Men--music composed by Mark Isham
Bugsy--music by Ennio Morricone, a soundtrack master
Ennio Morricone, Film Music vol. 1 and 2--collection of great compositions by the master

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.

Besides most of the others already mentioned, if you can find it, it was one of my best music purchases ever.

Marvin Gaye - Trouble Man. Motown MOTD-5241

Have been enjoying Kissing Jessica Stein soundtrack this winter - great mix of female vocal jazz with one Lyle Lovett that is probably the hi-lite. Amazing movie as well - maybe a best of for the year wierd for me in that I usually run as fast as possible from romantic comedies. A couple of other favourites are Heaven's Prisoner track (blues)and a Nina Rota compilation of Felini movie music (sure Tom Waits has this one in his collection).

I have a list of ONE:
Superfly (by Curtis Mayfield, of course)
