Elfman's great too. Nightmare Before Christmas is fantastic, musically

Ennio Morricone, easily.
Jonny Greenwood's score of "There Will Be Blood" and Trent Reznor's score of "The Social Network" are excellent recent ones.

Wrote my favorite movie theme ever. The Back to the Future theme.

Did my second favorite movie theme, Tim Burton's Batman. Also scored the MIB movies.
One not on your list:
Craig Armstrong
He scored The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge, Love Actually and Ray. Love that guy.

I'd put Howard Shore up there, too. Did LOTR, Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, The Departed, Big, Hugo, Aviator, Eastern Promises...

Yep. He does an amazing job the dark but campy films.
He also did Big Fish and Edward Scissorhands. He's in on a lot of Burton films.

Lalo Schifrin.
He did Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt, most of Clint Eastwood's movies, Enter the Dragon, and a ton of other movies.
