Watching the original Star Wars. John Williams’ score has to be up there. Other movies like Lawrence of Arabia, the original King Kong, Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Once Upon a Time in the West come to mind.

His best work not associated with Steve or George. John Williams is on my Mt. Rushmore of cinematic history, & it's not debatable for me.

Greatest is all subjective. Some scores though do work wonders for the film they are accompanied with and some of the best films scores can work wonders without the film as well. Williams does tend to have an edge here.

One film score I like that captivates but maybe isn’t as playable outside the movie is David Shire’s All the President’s Men.
