A lot of John Williams. The man has a brilliant ear for enduring themes, at the very least.

To Kill a Mockingbird - can bring me to tears.

Vertigo - so haunting, so beautiful, so obsessive.

The Raiders March
Batman(Danny Elfman's theme)
Young Frankenstein
Pirates of The Caribbean
Psycho
Halloween
The Exorcist
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
Beetlejuice
Jaws
Harry Potter
Jurassic Park


*A little thing that I didn't know until I read it, in the Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, during the first Defense Against The Dark Arts lesson with Lupin when the boggart turns into a snake, the theme from the snake pit in Raiders is played. John Williams slipped it in as he is the one who did the score for both Harry Potter and Indiana Jones.

I have literally HUNDREDS of film scores on CD....I don't know if I could pick an absolute favorite, but here are a few themes that spring to mind:

Superman
1941 (another John Williams theme, criminally underrated and just as good as Raiders and Superman)
The Boy Who Could Fly
Cutthroat Island
Stargate
The Rocketeer
The Last Starfighter
Sleeping with the Enemy

John Williams has written some of my least favorite scores. He does, however, write some pretty good themes. The only complete film score I ever admired by him was for the film, The Fury.
