Titanic (Sony, 1997) by various


For as big of a song as "My Heart Will Go On," the rest of the album (wherein all other tracks are instrumentals) holds up very well too.  Even without the accompaniment of visuals from the film, James Horner's arrangements are superb.  "Rose" and "Hymn to the Sea" are my personal favorites.  They clearly evoke emotion and could be used to score anything accordingly, in addition to one of the biggest movies in the history of film.  Titanic certified James Cameron as a genius, and its soundtrack did the same for James Horner.
