One of the best movie sound tracks, top 5 no doubt, the music from the movie “The Big Country” with Gregory Peck, Carroll Baker and jean Simmons. Check that out!!!!!!!!!!

The way I think of it is “can you hum the tune?” I am pretty well versed in classical music, and for the life of me I could not hum any of the themes in the LOTR trilogy. And I have just watched the whole set again about a month ago.
Star Wars? Yes.
Indiana Jones? Yes.
Superman? Yes.
Baron Munchausen? (just to include non-Williams) Yes.
The Natural? Yes.
Pirates of the Caribbean? Yes.
LOTR? Nope.

Lots of good ones mentioned. I can’t argue with the choice though. I use it as background music when I work all the time. The vocals at the end of each is near inspired. I have to put Lawrence up there as well. Another that I really think is underrated is Sparticus. And how can soundtracks be mentioned and Alexander Nevsky not get mentioned?

For some strange reason, I've spoken to several women who found a liking to the score of the film: SOMEWHERE IN TIME.
It wasn't a huge hit when it first came out, but has since acquired a huge cult following...
The film is known for its musical score composed by John Barry. The 18th variation of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini also runs throughout the film.

Check out anything by Hans Zimmer The Last Samurai, Gladiator, Inception. Some very stirring music.

Yes LOTR soundtrack is so beautiful. I have most of the songs (the nice ones, not the orc/mordor themes) on my mp3 player and listen to them when I walk or ride the bus to work.

Jaws. The Music was a character just as much as the shark or Quint.
Woody Allen’s Love and Death. The music was from Prokofiev’s Lieutenant Kijé (only Woody Allen movie worth watching)
Star Wars, LoTR and Gone with the Wind are great.
Fantasia had a great soundtrack, but, I don’t think that counts.

Another surprisingly good track is “the Black Stallion”.
You have probably heard the prime theme pasted over a few shows.

I also really loved the theme from “Chariots of Fire” by Vangelis and “Empire of the Sun”.
