So many great ones, but for me it's probably One Upon a Time in the West, closely followed by The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Favourite film music scores.

The Seahawk or indeed anything with a Korngold score.

The best film soundtracks do their job almost without you noticing. I really don't like more recent trend in Hollywood soundtracks that just seem to aim at loudness and a lack of subtlety (e.g.: Lord of Rings) or 'meaningful' pomposity (e.g.: Mystic River).

Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan. Good decision to go fully orchestral.

Crimson Tide. Just brilliant. Pirates of the C reminded me of it alot, though it was much more 'lighthearted'.
Sneakers.
The Qatsi triliogy (Philip Glass). Powaqqatsi, if I had to choose one of them, if only for "Anthem - Part 2", which I adore (and walked down the aisle to).
Apollo 13 is quite good to listen to, because you get orchestral bits and then contemporary popular tracks.
The Fisher King is great for a random selection of music!
Hmmm, going to have to go home and browse the not-insubstantial soundracks collection to try and decide on just one favourite...

I'd forgotten about that one! Great film as well.
North by Northwest
Taxi Driver (also Bernard Hermann I think?)
ET (I know it's sentimental, but John Williams is brilliant)
Anatomy of a Murder (fabulous Ellington score)
Alfie (fabulous Sonny Rollins score)

I like many of the above suggestions - the only recent soundtrack I've really thought had something was Jonny Greenwood's work on There Will Be Blood. Surprisingly excellent.
