I love the scores of EXODUS and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (by Ernest Gold and Maurice Jarre, respectively), but I am not acquainted with their other works, so I'm not sure that I could include them as among my favorites.
One-shot wonders, you know.

Picking a favorite is hard.
Elmer Bernstein did film music concerts in the park when I was a kid, which was a real boost to my interest in film music, so I have to give him top billing.
Max Steiner was a a favorite of my mother's and she had records of his music which introduced me to the music long before I saw the films. By the rime I saw GWTW, it was like meeting and old friend for the first time.
i was older when I got into the Music of Miklos Rozsa. My housemate Jack interviewed him in the late 1970's for his radio program and that is when I got some interest, especially in "Spellbound."
My housemate was also responsible for getting me into Erich Wolfgang Korngold. He was such a fan, he named his son Erich Wolfgang Mockler!
Others:
Bernard Herrmann
Alfred Newman
Johm Barry
Franz Waxman
Frank Skinner
I would like to give a special mention to Charles Gerhardt, whose 1970's recordings of film music gave me the chance to listen to film music back in the days before many of us had access to the movies themselves.

Victor Young (August 8, 1900 – November 10, 1956) American composer, arranger, violinist and conductor.
A prolific film career with over 200 credits in such a diversity of films, eg. from Mitchell Leisen's romantic comedy and melodramatic weepie, Easy Living & To Each His Own through to his last films in 1956, Samuel Fuller's adventure drama and western, China Gate and Run of the Arrow.
Young received 22 Academy Award nominations for his work in film, twice being nominated four times in a single year, but he did not win during his lifetime. However he did receive his only Oscar posthumously for his score of Around the World in Eighty Days (1956).
