greatest movie scores

SIAP I searched and didn't see anything pop up.
I watched the Dark Knight earlier and it got me thinking about the best movie scores out there. Some movie scores are so great that I get pumped up in my seat in the theater when I hear them. Obviously that's the point. But still I'm blown away by how talented these people are that they can illicit that kind of a response with music alone.
The classics that I can think of off the top of my head are:
Star Wars
Indiana Jones
Back to the Future
The Lord of the Rings
The Dark Knight (for me at least)
Jurassic Park
Selfishly I would also add Inception and Pirates of the Caribbean for good measure.
I'm sure that I'm missing a couple of obvious ones. What say you?

Miyazaki films have great music: Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle just to name a few.

Somewhere in Time is a good score.

Singing in the Rain
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Most Godard movies
The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover
Godfather

Jaws easily. The score/ theme is arguably more terrifying than the monster itself. You'd be hard pressed to find another piece of music from film that has left such a mark on our collective imagination.

Interstellar
Really anything from Hans Zimmer is good

Danny Elfman's BATMAN. Which track? All of them.
Underrated: Signs, The Rocketeer, Shawshank, Pacific Rim.

I'm a big fan of James Horner. Apollo 13 is probably my favorite score of his.

I'd like to throw in Last Samurai

Concerning Pirates of the Caribbean...go back and listen to the scores for other Michael Bay movies. They are very similar. The Rock in particular while watching the car chase sounds almost identical to the main PofC theme.

The Red Violin is a worthy addition to this thread.

John Williams best work is Jurassic Park. And I love the Star Wars, Indy, Jaws, and a host of others. But Jurassic Park captures wonder and terror so perfectly when its called upon.
Zimmer has some great work, Inception and Dark Knight were fantastic. I really thought his best to date was Interstellar. He captured the theme of Time so well. Many of the cuts were written at 60bpm, driving like a clock. I mean, Lion King not withstanding.
You have to love Morricone's Good/Bad/Ugly score. The score is basically the dialogue through much of the movie.

Michael Giacchino also has some good ones. Mission Impossible 3 and Star Trek Reboot. LOST isn't a movie but it had an excellent score by him.
Also check out Hans Zimmer in his Modern Warfare 2 soundtrack.
I liked some of Cloud Atlas.
Daft Punk did an awesome job with Tron Legacy
