For people in Europe, i recommend www.play.com. It carries most titles availiable in the UK and carries many Region 1 titles, as it has a US shop too. And the most important is that there are no shiiping costs no matter how many CDs, DVDs or Books you buy.
Do you have the ability to order DVDs by mail from Amazon.uk or some other on-line source? Sadly, even here in the U.S. DVDs of classic films are not carried by many retailers.
CDs of Steiner's and Korngold's music, some complete film scores but certainly compilations of their greatest themes, have been available in various releases for some time, paritculaly from Kino. Their scores were often great symphonic works that stood on their own apart from the films.

I totally agree, i didn't see that much ''old'' movies, since i hate downloading and divx, etc etc, so i only watch it on dvd or blu-ray. And there are no many movies from the golden age of hollywood on dvd's...
And my list is ONLY based on my collection of cd's.
Most, if not all the older films on our lists are available on DVD and The Adventures of Robin Hood is even available on Blu-ray.
I know, but i need to go to the states or the uk to buy those movies.
We barely had a dvd premiere of Gladiator here in Croatia last week.
Ok, this was a joke...

There are some Shore's music in the King Kong score. However, i didn't hear the whole thing that Shore have composed.
