In Reply to: On the coattails of rico's music post below posted by Victor Khomenko on July 3, 2005 at 08:18:47:
if Ira and George have not already been mentioned did some classic show tunes and a few "movies" that were not adopted from their show themes. "Porgy & Bess" was made into a movie. Also Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story" was made into a film. There are loads of great American composers and a few from Europe who wrote scores for Hollywood also. As more modern composers, one might consider Philip Glass or Vangelis.

Follow Ups:
...and not music composed for stage that was later adapted into film, Bernstein's big claim to faim is the score to On The Waterfront.It says so much about the Academy Awards that Gershwin didn't win the Oscar for his nomimated song.
The Europeans - Korngold, Steiner, Waxman et al - as well as Glass and Vangelis are mentioned below in several posts. I gotta admit I don't consider either Glass or Vangelis "great" composers per Victor's criteria, although I think Glass' film music can be very effective.
that many great artists are neither popular nor even known and a lot of "great" works go unnoticed. I also find many film scores to be amazingly effective and often have absolutely no clue who the composers are even after hearing their names.
