TV/Movie Scores

Not exclusively, but I have many favorites. John Williams of course (ESB is my favorite) and Philip Glass has written many great movie scores - Kundun, The Hours, Orpheus. Last of the Mohicans, Band of Brothers and Dexter all have outstanding scores.
Not exclusively, but mostly!
That's exactly it for me too.
Not exclusively. I can't normally exercise to television and film scores (with a few exceptions... the right action-themed cue can do the trick). I wouldn't want to be out at a bar or restaurant and listen to it. But at home, or when I'm doing random things, or especially when I'm reading, I enjoy listening to a good score. I'm listening to "The Dark Knight Rises" right now as I type this. I frequently listen to the Bear McCreary, Michael Giacchino and Hans Zimmer stations on Pandora.
Movie Scores
I really enjoy some music scores. Big epic scores from
Randy Newman, James Horner, Bernard Herrman, James Newton Howard, ALan silvestri
It's good music to let your mind wander while Internet surfing or driving.
I also like some military sounding themes and also some of the newer electronic soundtrack work from Christophe Beck, Clint Mansell, Cliff Martinez
The instrumental electronic-based work on Hanna, Moon, and Contagion were great.

Exclusively? No. But, like many of the posters here, I enjoy many film scores as musical compositions in their own right, including the works of John Williams (Superman is my favorite), John Barry, Bernard Herrmann (of course!) Russ Garcia's score for The Time Machine, Van Cleave's music for Robinson Crusoe on Mars, and Arthur Bliss's Things to Come score.
My music collection is almost exclusively film/TV scores. And most of the stuff that isn't is on old cassette tapes that I no longer have a convenient way to play. (I still have a tape deck but it isn't plugged in or connected to speakers since I don't have room for it in my A/V setup.)
Is that the fellow who did the piano score for Colossus of New York?
Since I much prefer songs with lyrics I can understand, a lot of my listening is to soundtracks. There are the usual suspects, Williams, Elfman, Shore, Horner but the occasional unconventional, like John Morris' pieces from Mel Brooks movies.
