It's true that soundtracks are not well represented at Classical Net.
From time to time I've toyed with the idea of developing one of the
"music used in..." lists, but they require a tremendous amount of work to
build and maintain.  This is one area where the Internet Movie Database
(http://www.imdb.com/) is rather poor.  Then a couple of years ago I found
a great site called "Classics from the Silver Screen" and decided that
simply providing a link to that site would do it.  The link is on the main
link page at Classical Net, and can be found searching on "movies".  The
direct link is:

   http://home.pacific.net.sg/~bchee/movies.html

Though Benjamin Chee includes a lot of detail, his emphasis is breadth
rather than depth, so the sites mentioned so far for the music to "The
Shining" actually provide more info.  But this is an excellent general
site to find what music was used in which film.
