I am sure you are right. The first movie that popped into my head was 2001: A Space Odyssey, which had a great soundtrack too. But Jaws makes more sense.
One "sleeper" favorite soundtrack for me is the soundtrack to Kenneth Branagh's Henry V. It was Patrick Doyle's first soundtrack. I remember hearing at the time the move came out that he didn't really know much about scoring a move (he did it because Branagh, a friend of his, solicited him to do it) and didn't realize that most people writing soundtracks don't actually write music for a movie to follow the action from end to end, but that was his approach. It's a fabulous soundtrack. https://www.classicfm.com/composers/...yle/henry-v-2/

2001 has great music, but technically it isn't a soundtrack or even a score, as Kubrick used previously composed pieces of music and wove them into his film --- as he often did.
