He has a point though. Would that introduction be quite so famous if it hadn't been used in that film? On a side note, it's played every time one or more of the moon astronauts make a public appearance, so they must be sick to death of it.

Not as much as Ric Flair is.
I have no idea. My only point is that it wasn't originally composed for the film, that's all.
Two songs QT made famous: The Dick Dale song used at the beginning of Pulp Fiction and "Stuck in the Middle With You" from the infamous ear-slashing scene in Reservoir Dogs. I suspect most of the populace associate those songs with the films.
Star Wars, of course.
But to add a title people haven't: The Great Escape's title theme is also by far one of the best known, probably from overuse in other media (and it's damn infectiousness) than the movie itself at this point.

Which generation? The man was still alive and working. He only died a few years ago (outliving Kubrick). Granted, he got exposure through the three Kubrick movies that use his music, but only to the only generations that had any way of knowing about him.
Jaws, I think. Just 6 or 7 notes of music, and everyone knows what it means.
Then Star Wars, Casablanca's "As Time Goes By," and Psycho.

I did, previous page.
Let me also add the theme from "Summer of '42" (Michel Legrand, composer)
And to the '80's generation, to a lesser extend, the theme from the mini series, "The Thorn Birds" (Henry Mancini, composer)

And depending on how loosely "film music" is being defined here, the non score piece titled "Soul Bossa Nova", by Quincy Jones, made famous by the Austin Powers trilogy. Austin even passes by Jones on piano during hte opening of the third film and says something like, "Ladies & gentlemen -- Mr. Quincy Jones!".
Les Demoiselles de Rochefort
Just for the record, although it's not interesting for foreigners
, Vladimir Cosma wrote some musics I can identify immediately.
