Danny Elfman is one of my favorites, as well, but my favorite work of his is the soundtrack to Black Beauty. It's nearly impossible to find, but I somehow snagged a promotional copy of the CD on eBay a few years ago. Score!
Other favorites:
Gladiator
Sweeney Todd
The Lion King
The Little Mermaid
Forrest Gump
Juno
Garden State
Labyrinth
Pirates of the Caribbean
The Darjeeling Limited (and along with this, The Royal Tenenbaums & The Life Aquatic)
I really enjoy soundtracks for the most part. I haven't watched LOTR or SW lately, but I'm sure I'd be just as taken by their soundtracks as some of these above.
