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.

Another vote for "Bladerunner". Also like the track from "The Godfather". The original Bond films too; a tad (?!) cheesy but fun.

See if you can find one from the film, "Mike's Murder"; good Joe Jackson track from that.

Not necessarily a favorite of mine but worth considering, "2001: A Space Odyssey" (funny how time flies).

I watched Hangover 2 on a flight after a lot of wine and thought is was a brilliant movie with a great soundtrack. I saw about 5 minutes of the very same movie a few months later and all i can say is you need a LOT of wine.

"The Decendants" if you like Hawaiian music or just want a nice intro to it. So accessible and pretty sounding I almost feel guilty like I should put on something screechy and hard to get in to but I usually listen to the whole album. This soundtrack made me go out and buy more Hawaiian music.
