it's always a major plus in my book

Why?

Memorable scores add to a movie. A great tune can generate a powerful emotional reaction.

Imagine Halloween (1978) without John Carpenter's iconic theme song. Or Star Wars. Or Ghostbusters. Or Back to the Future

All of those movies and many others would have been worse off without the accompanying theme music. It's part of what makes them so memorable.
