I thought Dario Argento's films have great background music. I was particularly impressed with Phenomena and Inferno. The Alien films had some nice music too. For a Few Dollars More has a nice whistling tune at the beginning credits. The Terminator has a nice piece of music as its signature tune.

The Hammer monster films have excellent scores, particularly The Mummy and The Devil Rides Out

The Omen - the music is what keeps the story together

Jaws - can you even think about the film without hear John William's score in your head?

Halloween - eerily effective and haunting

Lost Highway - amazing avant-jazz from Angelo Badalmenti

Creature From the Black Lagoon, Pistol Opera, Videodrome, Gojira, and although it's completely irrelevant to the content of the film Murder Mansion's score is surprisingly good. Ditto on the Morricone sentiments. I was surprised to find him getting lifetime achievement mainly because it was a shock he hadn't already.
