After listening to Alain Goraguer's La Planete Sauvage (on a tip from sang that one of dredg's songs might be ripped from it), I thought we needed a thread to discuss film scores. Most scores I don't really seek out or listen to on a deeper level, but there are quite a few out there that serve as more than accompaniment to on-screen visuals.
To start, the aforementioned La Planete Sauvage is pretty fantastic. Psychedelic, jangly, and somewhat funky music.

anything Ennio Morricone (esp. Fistful of Dollars) anything Bernard Herrmann (esp. The Day The Earth Stood Still and Vertigo) I'm also rather fond of Carter Burwell's score for Being John Makovich, although it's a bit too thematic and the Bjork songs are still the best part of the soundtrack.
and of course Sergei Prokofiev's score for Alexander Nevesky.

I took an entire class on film score in college, so to say I am a fan is an understatement. Though thanks to said class, I end up dissecting them so much I lose out on a lot of the enjoyment.
I second Ennio Morricone, he is my absolute favorite. Once Upon a Time in the West is outstanding. Max Steiner has too many good ones to mention, but my favorite might be Mildred Pierce. Korngold is also great. And I love the uneasiness of Rózsa, particularly Spellbound, probably because I love the theremin.
I also have a soft spot for Mancini. I used to listen to Breakfast at Tiffanys on repeat while studying.
