That is a cool one. Another good one on that same theme is the soundtrack from Destination Moon by Leith Stevens.

I'm gonna agree with a bunch of people and say that LOTR and Pirates of the Caribbean are some of the best. And the original Shrek soundtrack is good, but for different reasons.

Showboat is a great one. The first Showboat from 1936 I think was the best one, it seemed to have more meat to it, and the awesome voice of Paul Robeson.

Zannie, if you ever get a chance watch the movie Till the Clouds roll by. Its about the life of Jerome Kern, and the first part has a medly of the songs filmed on a stage. Its the next best thing to seeing it live.

One I always liked was the music from the TV series One Step Beyond by Harry Lubin. The main theme was especially chilling.
