I seem to recall John Barry saying his two favourite film composers were Alex North and Nino Rota. And quotes A Streetcar Named Desire and Rota's Fellini scores as favourites. I believe I remember Juliet of the Spirits being singled out once. Cheers

Does anyone here know if Jerry Goldsmith ever mentioned what his favourite film scores of all time were? I have a vague memory of him mentioning A Streetcar Named Desire, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Psycho, but I am not sure of that. In a radio interview in 1989 on BBC Cinema 2, promoting an upcoming concert, he said that one was Psycho. On TCM he cited The Magnificent Seven as "the best music written for a western film, including my own" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQJk-stoKLY&t=4m20s (Sorry, 7 edits in, I'm sick of trying to make it pop up properly here - ya gotta click it) I love hearing about Girl with a Pearl Earring. That's the last time I remember film music stopping me in my tracks as I walked through the theater. I immediately bought it and the only other Desplat scores I could find at the time, Hostage, which was great in places, The Luzhin Defense and Birth, which is one of those rare scores with an undefeatable album presentation. It's such a marvelous disc. But The Girl with a Pearl Earring? That was captivating!
