I've been working on a list like this on and off for years. Therefore, in no particular order:
THE BIG COUNTRY
BEN HUR
THE EGYPTIAN
THE ROBE
THE GHOST AND MRS.MUIR
CLEOPATRA
LOST HORIZON
HAWAII
QUO VADIS
THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
This is all so subjective. Frankly, it seems to me all my favorite scores I heard before the age of 15. Also, notice that 6 take place in ancient times, while 3 others are from the turn of the 19th into the 20th centuries. Oddly enough, LOST HORIZON is the most modern of the lot. Which says more about my sensibility than my musical tastes. Ah well. "Such as we are made of, such we be..."

In no order and off the top of my head so i might be forgetting some and do TV scores count in your post? 
1. Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier (Extremely underrated.)
2. Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan
3. Star Trek: First Sontact
4. Star Trek: Generations
5. JAWS (Probably the best ever.)
6. Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home
7. The Omega Man (Just simply amazing.)
8. DUEL
9. Titanic (Yeah yeah.)
And if TV shows count,
10. Star Trek: The Next Generation - "Yesterday's Enterprise" Very few scores have ever touched me so emotionally as this one. The episode it's self is powerful and memorable. Everytime i think about it it becomes more clear to me that that is perhaps the best TV show episode ever made.

The Trouble with Angels??!!?? has this ever been available commercially? I love this film to bits and pieces and think the score is a slice of comic perfection!
THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS was originally released on lp on the Mainstream label, as I recall. It also was actually released on CD, but for so short a period of time that it has become a rare collector's item. (I have neither the lp or the CD, but a friend of mine once proudly showed me his CD copy, which he keeps safely hidden away. Very big deal.)
