The Rocky series
Contis theme forRockywill no doubt be the one hes remembered for.
A theme so iconic that it is as integral to the series as the presence of Stallone himself.

His follow up score forRocky IIjust falls short of the original for me.
The score itself is a reworking of previous themes, but largely, thats preferable to the alternative presented.
Presumably just not bothering with a soundtrack release wasnt an option.
WatchingRocky Balboais a bit of a strange experience.
Still, its far superior toRocky V,so thats gotta be a good thing, right?
For Your Eyes Only
Replacing John Barry would be a tricky proposition for any composer.
Conti never overplays his hand here, demonstrating an incredible level of restraint and understanding of the material.
