All of Henry Mancenni's music: Love story etc.

Henry Mancini pre-1970 (especially his work with Blake Edwards, drama and comedy).

Also Ennio Morricone's complete score for The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Unlike his other films with Sergio Leone, the themes were written and the scenes were built around them.

Music in a film must complement the scenes and many of the soundtracks on this list (and that made the top of the survey published earlier this year) were written as hit songs and later used in the soundtrack of a film.

While Stanley Kubrick was original in his choice of score of 2001: A Space Odyssey, his score for A Clockwork Orange was more specifically crafted for the film even though both use classical music. 2001 is really dependent on the soundtrack since there is no dialogue for around the first 40 minutes and little dialogue for the last half hour.
