The Greatest Movie Scores of All Time

If you enjoy movie scores, you should find this list interesting. It concentrates mostly on classic films; I think the most recent is E.T. I've seen fourteen of the twenty, although of those I can only recall the music for about half. I agree that the Ben Hur score is one of the best, if not the best. I loved that music as a teenager; the soundtrack album was one of the first LPs that I bought when I got a record player. 

I'd like to have seen the scores for either Hatari or Arabesque on the list, both by Henry Mancini. A list concentrating on more recent films, say from 1980 onward, would be interesting.
