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.

Hardly an audiophile quality recording (and kind of a ripoff because 2 of the songs are repeated in their entirety), but I'd still recommend the soundtrack to "The Harder They Come". Essential reggae.

For the Reggae fans "The Harder They Come" will hit the spot. For someone looking for a place to get into Reggae a good one to start.The Ry Cooder ones mentioned above are fine."Super Fly"stands on its own as does Harry Nilsson's "The Point" (with the narration). Generally though, movie soundtracks are weak and dull musically and need the visual support.
