I love just about anything by Johann Sebastian Bach, particularly when rendered by Glenn Gould's highly adept fingers.
As for movie score composers, I note that no one has mentioned Carter Burwell, a man who's put together some fantastic arrangements for the Coen Brothers. His predominent theme for "The Hudsucker Proxy" was so lovely that Sainsbury's supermarket chain were later compelled to use it as the accompaniment to one of their TV campaigns - a shame that most of the people who heard it probably weren't familiar with the film in which it originated. C'est la vie.
His non-Coen scores have included "Adaptation", and a lot of other stuff which will probably come back to me later.
