My absolute favourites are the three from LOTR by Howard Shore. I think the deal was sealed here after watching him conduct two live orchestra performances of the soundtracks at the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Festival Hall. Had me in simultaneous tears and goosebumps.
Bernard Hermann - Taxi Driver
Michael Nyman - Drowning by Numbers
Cliff Martinez - Solaris
Stavros Xarhakos - Signs of Life (i wish i could find this somewhere)
Mihaly Vig - Satantango
Angelo Badalamenti - Mulholland Drive and Fire Walk With Me
Pretty much anything by Ennio Morricone, but particularly Once Upon a Time in the West, although my favourite of his pieces is Gabriel's Oboe from The Mission.
The Lord of the Rings score is beautiful too, as is quite a bit of the score to The Godfather
Lots of good choices, the one I keep coming back to is 'Witness'. The score by Maurice Jarre is just haunting. I've noticed this about Peter Weir's films, the music is always great.

Once upon a time in America.
That is all I have to say...
Also James Horner's score from The Missing.

Also like Rosza's score for Spellbound and Jarre's Passage To India.
