Soundtracks

Spurred by a comment from somewhere else in the ether...

I listen to a lot of soundtracks, sometimes without actually ever seeing the film in question, so it occured to me to ponder - what are your favourite soundtrack albums, and have you actually seen the film/show in question?

Mine?

1. Bladerunner (Vangellis).
An Easy one. I've seen this film dozens of time, listened to the album hundreds of times at least.
2. The virgin suicides (Air).
A beautifully dark, haunting and moody album. I've not seen the film yet and am a little afraid in a way seeing it would spoil this album, I still would like to however.
3. Labyrinth (Bowie/Others).
Besides the wonderful 'As the world falls down' and 'Magic dance' it has several lovely atmospheric and dreamy pieces on it (Hallucination). Theres actually only one track I don't like but it's definately one of my favourite albums ever.

Concurrence on the Grosse Point Blank soundtrack, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

That I could assemble almost all of it from my mp3 collection isn't the issue. That soundtrack needs to be available in all good retail outlets.
