Bernhard Herrmann who did the original music for many Hitchcock films including North by Northwest, Vertigo and Psycho.
John Barry for the music for Bond and numerous other films, including Midnight Cowboy. Also he did the theme music to the Persuaders TV series with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis which was just so cool.....

Personally I don't like John Williams scores because they never seem to add much to the film itself.

Of "prog" artists I was pleasantly suprised by Vangelis' contribution to "Chariots of Fire". I quite enjoyed "White Rock" with Rick Wakeman's score.

^ I know Tangerine Dream have done music but for which films? ^

Great call on Bernard Herrmann. Goldsmith's good too, I don't watch all that many films though so I don't know much.

Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who more or less invented movie composition as it is today.
