Byzantium's Shores lists his top 10 film scores. Bernard Herrmann is on the list for Vertigo. Psycho is the most notable but here's why he prefers Vertigo:
it's more subtly suggestive of unhealthy and obsessive love. It is lush and sumptuous music that nevertheless fills the listener with a sense of disquiet.
I'd probably pick Fahrenheit 451 or North by Northwest but all four are worthy.
Wikipedia has more than you may want to know about the Vertigo film score.
