For me it’s between ROCKY, THE RIGHT STUFF and BROADCAST NEWS.

Are you talking about Best Film in relation to the score he wrote for it, or just a Favourite Film regardless of score, Henry?
I enjoyed the first 4 ROCKY and first 2 KARATE KID films quite a bit and the scores added vital elements to that enjoyment.
I LOVE his replacement score to A PRAYER FOR THE DYING, but the film is more a guilty pleasure than any great art of cinema.
ESCAPE TO VICTORY is cheesy fun, but pap otherwise.
FIST is a fantastic score but the film is merely decent.
I enjoy his derivative score for THE RIGHT STUFF but never really liked the film that much.
His NORTH & SOUTH scores are EPIC, but the show is just enjoyable/soapy Mills & Boon Bodice-Ripping stuff.
None of the films he's scored are what I would call 'Personal All-Time Faves' aside from the ROCKY/KARATE KID ones, which I do really like.

The Right Stuff (Wishing for the tapes to be found)
Rocky ( Selections from the various films in the franchise)
North and South ( What I’ve heard of the score)
Masters of the Universe (A real Star Wars style bangers)

I've only seen these films scored by Conti:-

Spy Hard
Necessary Roughness
Lock Up
Masters of the Universe
F/X: Murder by Illusion
The Right Stuff
Escape to Victory (aka Victory)

And I own these CDs by Conti:-

Lock Up
I, The Jury
Gloria
The Right Stuff
(i used to own the CD of Year of the Gun but passed it to the charity shop)

My fave Conti films are Spy Hard, Lock Up, F/X and The Right Stuff but my fave Conti scores are The Right Stuff, I The Jury and Gloria.

I know that Conti always used a lot of BRASS in his scores. What score (or scores) is considered his most “Brassiest” (is that a word?)

Has to be ROCKY. Although I have an enormously nostalgic relationship to THE KARATE KID. And THE RIGHT STUFF ain't too shabby either.
