Thread: Main Theme CD - Great Soundtracks!

Okay, I am making a cd of great instrumental soundtracks from movies... songs that aren't completely slow, that have some action a rising moment in the music that make you remember fondly the scene from the movie and since I already have a CD of John Williams Greatest Hits, I am trying to stay away from the ones on there (such as superman, Star wars, ET, Jurassic park, ect).... I need some more suggestions. Here are the soundtrack main themes I have already downloaded:

The Rock
Ben-Hur
Amistad
Spartacus
Mutiny on the Bounty
Twister
Cutthroat Island
Independence Day
The Mummy
Lord of the Rings
Glory
Armageddeon
Braveheart
Titanic
Apollo 13
Stargate
Gettysburg
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
The Patriot
Gladiator
Dragonheart
Last of the Mohicans
Pirates of the Caribbean
Mask of Zorro
Count of Monte Cristo
Broken Arrow
Harry Potter
Willow
El Cid Fanfare
The Abyss
Wizards and Warriors: Main Titles (older)
The Last Starfighter
Poltergeist

I'm still going through them to determine which ones I want. Got any other suggestions of great, uplifting movie themes?
