Well, most of the ones I listed are films from before the Imminent Death of CD, when stores had wider selections (at least around here). (Hell, I originally had the Star Trek II soundtrack on cassette, and I think The Last Starfighter on vinyl.) Some of the others I either obtained the CD through mail order (The Right Stuff, for example, is, or at least was, available on a CD along with bits from another Bill Conti score, North and South, but I couldn't find that one in a store), or tracked the music down electronically. These days I get most stuff from the iTunes Music Store.

Sadly, the soundtrack to Real Genius was (AFAIK) never released in and of itself, though with a bit of hunting it's possible to assemble it from album tracks and singles.
