1973 seems to be a sparse year according to my tastes and as the OP asked for your ONE favourite score, I'll go for Goldsmith's 'Papillon'.
Ordinarily I expect my friends to have wider tastes, but in your case I'm happy to make an exception.
If I were a young pup like yourself I'd probably go for The Wicker Man, but given that I'm so old I'm going to choose - as I did in the other thread - Ben-Hur.

Probably for the best TG, as my tastes aren't really that wide ranging to be honest. The only other score I see in my collection from that year is Morricone's 'My Name Is Nobody' and I'm not overly keen on that one
Lovely picture, I worked on that as a grip when I was in my late 40's. Fond memories. Now everything's all digital and they just light people in post...
Well, it was a good year, i could be conventional and go for El Cid or barabbas or west side story..
But im going to go for ..Yojimbo! 1961
Mifune is just such a mean samouri and a cool mother, and the way he walks, his movement, to the music is just a perfect match. I choose Sato's Yojimbo.
Around The World In Eighty Days Forbidden Planet Friendly Persuasion Giant Godzilla, King of the Monsters! Moby Dick The Searchers The Ten Commandments
Favorite? Huh boy. Forget it. But for decades I've proclaimed the one at the top of the list as the greatest stand-alone soundtrack ever. It was kismet, just like #7 hitting for the Triple Crown!
