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.

Liza Minnelli: New York, New York & Cabaret.
Forrest Gump: great theme & colection of hits.
"Christine", my favorite car, and my favorite soundtrack. That movie has one bad version of "Harlem Nocturne".

The movie “Dark Streets” has an absolutely fabulous sound track of blues and swing music. The movie is actually about music, so on the DVD you get to see some of the songs performed full length on stage. One of the songs done by Bijou Phillips will knock you out. Unfortunately that Bijou Phillips song isn’t on the soundtrack CD, but still in all its darn good. If you like blues and swing music, you’ll like Dark Streets.
"The Unbearable Lightness of Being"- my introduction to Leos Janacek, Lena Olin and Juliette Binoche. "Dogfight"- 60's folk music. "Bernard Hermann-The Film Scores" Esa Pekka Salonen/LA Philharmonic- the selections from Fahrenheit 451 are my favorites.
