The 50 Greatest Movie Soundtrack Albums of All-Time

I didn't include all the old musicals like The Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz or West Side Story because there's just too many to cover. It should also be noted that Pink Floyd's The Wall is NOT a soundtrack and that despite all the great music, there is no soundtrack for Harold and Maude (too bad Cat Stevens fans) or Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
