I'm quite a fan of Charles Ives' atonal work. I think I heard somewhere that he was developing an atonal system at the same time as Schoenberg without knowing about him, but I can't find anything to validate that so I could be wrong.

There's also Krzystof Penderecki, who did several soundtracks that you may have heard.

Edgard Varese is the man

There's also Stravinsky, Debussy, and John Cage. If I were you I would check out all of Schoenberg's work because it's fantastic, especially this early piece.

The pieces I posted may not be strictly atonal, but they give you an idea of what the artists are about
