Kubrick spent alot of time with the music in his films and the results are usually fantastic with "2001: A Space Odyssey" being the best.

Also John Morris' "The Elephant Man OST" is also very good.

Well, it's not prog, but a personal favorite of mine would be the West Side Story soundtrack.  
 
One of the very few album that can get somewhat of an emotional resonse out of me.

As a matter of fact I'd recommend any soundtrack by Morricone.
 
 
John Carpenter's The Thing. Creepy, claustrophobic, and brilliant.
So much music. So little time.

I loved "The Piano" soundtrack by Michael Nyman and almost anything created by Hans Zimmer (especially The Gladiator's soundtrack made with Lisa Gerard, if I'm not wrong)

I am actually studying to write film music. I don't really listen to it on its own, because I think it feels incomplete, but I recommend you start with Edward Scissorhands by Danny Elfman. It's really, really good.

Yes Morricone is fantastic. I think my favourite of his is the Mission.
 
My favourite soundtracks are the LotR soudntracks by Howard Shore, all of the Star Wars ones by John Williams, the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by Harry Gregson-Williams and Gladiator by Hans Zimmer.

You can never go wrong with Lalo Schifrin. Pure genius, every time.
