For some films, it may be less important as maybe the director didn't know or didn't care about the whole art of pictures and sound. I know you mention older ones, but my view is that the best directors recognize that sound is half of the art.
To me:
Hitchcock and Spielberg both had great composers that they generally used in all of their stuff. For movies back in the 40s, 50s, I recall liking Waxman and Tiomkin as outstanding movie composers also. Actually, I just looked those last 2 up on Wikipedia and found that they also worked for Hitchcock.
Kubrick and Polanski both put as much effort into the sound as they the pictures.
I never listen to movie music except when viewing the movies, as part of the whole piece of art.
