Begonnen hatte Stanley Myers seine musikalische Karriere beim britischen Theater, ehe er in den 60er Jahren die Filmmusik für sich entdeckte.
Seine erste filmische Komposition entstand bereits 1958 für "Murder Reported" (58), die eigentliche Karriere in diesem Metier nahm jedoch erst ab 1964 konkret Gestalt an- u.a. für die Hammer Studios.

Zu seinen Arbeiten der 60er Jahre gehören Kino- und Fernsehproduktionen wie "Diary of a Young Man" (64), "The Trial and Torture of Sir John Rampayne" (65), "Road to St. Tropez" (66), "Kaleidoscope" (66), "Ulysses" (67), "The Night of the Fellowing Day" (68) und "Michael Kohlhaas - Der Rebell" (69).

1970 schrieb er für den Film "The Walking Stick" (70) seine berühmteste Komposition "Cavatina", welche jedoch erst acht Jahre später in einer etwas anderen Version in Michael Ciminos Film "The Deer Hunter" (78) internationale Beachtung fand.

Zu seinen weiteren Arbeiten der 70er Jahre zählen "Underground" (70), "Strohfeuer" (72), "Little Malcolm" (74), "Frightmare" (74), "Conduct Unbecoming" (75), "Der Fangschuss" (76), "The Greek Tycoon" (78), "Absolution" (78) und "The Great Riviera Bank Robbery" (79).

In den kommenden Jahren schrieb Stanley Myers zu vielen weiteren Filmen die Musik, dazu gehören "Lady Chatterley's Lover" (81), "The Honorary Consul" (83), "Blind Date" (84), "Eureka" (84), "Black Arrow" (85), "Dreamchild" (85), "Strong Medicine" (86), "Castaway" (86), "Wish You Were Here" (87), "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid" (87), "Trading Hearts" (88), "Track 29" (88), "Ladder of Swords" (89) und "Age-Old Friends" (89).

In seinen letzten Lebensjahren blieb Stanley Myers weiterhin aktiv und untermalte Produktionen wie "Never Come Back" (90), "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" (90), "Homo Faber" (91), "Clothes in the Wardrobe" (93) und "Heart of Darkness" (93) mit seiner Musik.

Stanley Myers wurde auch bekannt als Mentor des Filmkomponisten Hans Zimmer, mit dem er ab 1978 zusammenarbeitete.
