Just for fun, I'm going to pretend I'm seventeen in 1972, and I get asked this question by someone perusing my several dozen LPs.
1) John Barry -- The Knack (heart-warming theme, a little blues, some top--drawer comedic moments, and jazzy organ)
2) Lalo Schifrin -- Cool Hand Luke (lots of Southern charm, from intimate 2-guitar theme to bold brass)
3) Quincy Jones -- In the Heat of the Night (banjos, guitars, tack piano, breathy flute, and great bluesy song)
4) Alex North -- A Streetcar Named Desire (sleazy jazz, high drama, a sort of carnal concerto)
5) Elmer Bernstein -- To Kill a Mockingbird (it's all been said)
6) Stanley Myers -- Otley (energetic and delicate, bluesy and baroque)
7) Jerry Goldsmith -- In Like Flint (great re-record, consolidates all the best stuff, new theme plus the OMF theme)
8) Nino Rota -- La Dolce Vita (unforgettable theme, alternately cool and crazed)
9) Richard Rodney Bennett -- Far From the Madding Crowd (gorgeous orchestral and folk melodies)
10) Burt Bacharach -- After the Fox (witty, Italian, fun)

Thanks for the reference, Bill ... but I'm surprised that it was this entry (or omissions) which took your attention! 
And, yes, I find PP's scores very infectious ... often repetitive with minor variations which pay dividends on repeat plays.
And now Zardoz has too. Good taste. Sadly I had no room for him or cipriani, trov, umiliani either.
