David Raksin's score for The Bad and The Beautiful (1952) would be my first choice. He also did the score for Laura and dozens of other movies and TV series. Also anything with a Henry Mancini score such as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Hatari, Pink Panther, Two For the Road, and Days of Wine and Roses. And of course, the scores of the TV series of Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky.

Ennio Morriconi's soundtracks from Eastwood's spaghetti westerns. Anything Mancini or John Williams did
It is interesting in watching Castaway that the soundtrack doesn't begin until the whale gives him the eye. There are a few commentaries on what the point of that is. I am most impressed with the idea that from this point on brings a new life.
There has been much discussion on this on the web.
My take is that up until that point he has been truly alone. The contact with a living being brings the dormant emotions of hope and elation into the scene. The introduction of music heralds those emotions.

In addition to Ennio Morriconi's scores for the Spaghetti Westerns, you must include the score from "The Mission"
Goodfellas. Very good soundtrack. The piano exit from "Layla" when all the dead bodies are turning up after the Lufthansa heist. "Jump Into The Fire" when Henry is seeing the DEA helicopters.
Even the version of "Stardust" used when we see Henry and Tommy as adults for the 1st time.
Great movie, great soundtrack.
Martin Scorsese's masterpiece IMHO.

Pretty much anything by Ennio Morricone.
Arrrrr! Damn be the rules! We be pirates!
Is that with a capital R? My grasp of 17th century spelling is mostly Monty Python, so I'm at a loss.

* The Right Stuff
* Quigley Down Under
* Battle of Britain
* Apollo 13
* El Cid

I don't watch Hollywood movies in theaters any more. But I listen to " East Bound & Down " often on my computer.

One of my favorites will always be
DANCES WITH WOLVES
DANCES WITH WOLVES
Max Steiner's rousing musical score for Adventures of Don Juan (1948) starring Errol Flynn and Viveca Lindfors.
Years later, the same score was used to excellent effect in George Hamilton's 1981 send-up of the Zorro franchise in Zorro: The Gay Blade.
