    I also like many of Ennio Morricone's film scores. I think he was influrntial to much of the later Beatles music in that he turned ordinary everyday objects into musical instruments. As well as the aforementioned I like Once Upon A Time In the West and Days of Heaven.
    I also like Maurice Jarre's score for Ryan's Daughter.

    Bacalov + Osanna for the movie Milano Calibro 9 (1972).

    Great magnificent intro for a great film!

    Alex North wrote a complete score for the film. The decision to add the classical works was post production. They no doubt played a major part in the success of the film.

    John Williams did with sound what Richard Attenborough did with mirrors at the end of 'Oh what a lovely war'.
    The soundtrack of Star Wars was recorded several times with a small handful of musicians. Then Anvil Studios (That he was a director of), combined them to give the illusion of a full symphony orchestra. He was without doubt one of the most talented musicians who I ever worked with.
