Obviously Williams and Howard Shore. Also (500) Days of Summer has a wonderful soundtrack. I know James Horner has been mentioned, but I'm awfuly surprised that Titanic has yet to be mentioned. I adore that soundtrack start to finish, along with Back To Titanic Soundtrack.(The Titanic Suite and that version of Come Josephine, In My Flying Machine are beautiful pieces of music).
The Social Network, mostly because it was composed by Trent Reznor which I discovered not so long ago. There are probably better ones but this one is the only one which comes to mind right now.

In terms of films with great individual theme tunes though, I'd also have to point to Jurassic Park, Escape from New York and Total Recall (... I know!) though.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
Inception purely for this.
Once Upon A Time in the West
Same guy who made the music for The Good The Bad and The Ugly
And for non original music, I'mma catch hell for Vanilla Sky
My favorite movie tracks are
Titanic
Indiana Jones
Jurassic Park
Danny Elfman
The Mask of Zorro... Love that soundtrack
Up! The theme for Up just fits sooo well.
Donnie Darko
The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter.
And no, I'm not kidding.
The reason is purely incidental. The soundtrack was never released in the states only in limited quantities in the UK so it took me YEARS to track down a copy. While the movie is an absolute Disney-fication of the second half of the book, I still have nostaligic love for it, and the music is actually REALLY smurfing good.
Xayride is actually one of my favorite fictional villains.Originally Posted by Bastian
Have you seen Nostalgia Critic's review of the NES III? He really flies off the handle when the closing theme is 'Born to be Wild' as sung by the Rock Biter instead of the Limahl theme.
Nightmare Before Christmas is probably one of my top favorite original movie soundtracks. Tenchi Muyo!: Tenchi In Love may actually be my favorite soundtrack ever. Christopher Franke did a bitching job with the soundtrack and its still one of the few instrumental OST s where I can tie each track with a scene from the movie. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within has a pretty underrated soundtrack imo.
The rest of my fave soundtracks tend to be collections of popular music, like an 80s flick or 80s themed movie that uses, obviously, an 80s soundtrack.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
