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.

John Williams is great:

Star wars, Indiana Jones, Clone Encounters, etc.

John Barry has been mentioned, my fav being Dances with Wolves

Vangelis has some great ones with Blade Runner being my top choice.

For some more modern and subdued ambient works, almost anything by Philip Glass works or Cliff Martinez. Martinez has modern classics with Solaris, Traffic and the recent Drive soundtracks at the top of the pops.

Some sleepers are the Crow composed by Graham Ravel, Waterworld, Signs and the recent Game of Thrones.

I can list more if desired.
