Also: One must pay respect to Angelo Badalamenti, and his haunting score for [**Twin Peaks**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oDuGN6K3VQ). ---

An Italian movie:\*Where The Hot Wind Blows \*(Sometimes called _The Law_, which I believe was the name of the book it was based on). The movie isn’t very good, but I watch it occasionally just for the score. I have the score on one side of a 33rpm record and it doesn’t have the impact at all of the movie; the score must be heard while watching the movie. ---

**1941** It stirs me even more so than the score from **Patton**. But it could be because I watched it only three hours ago. ---

Another great movie score is from **[How the West was Won](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7ZPy-7BzSw&feature=related)**, A terrific movie which seems to have had every known actor in Hollywood in it. ---

Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet The music was perfect - fit the time period and was haunting and beautiful at the same time. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-movie-score-of-all-time/544124.md?page=3)
