	Amazon.co.uk: Rocky [Soundtrack]: Music
		When "Rocky" pulled off the big upset to win the Oscar for best picture, it had several things that helped this low budget film close the gap with the big Hollywood productions (remember, it was up against "Network," "Taxi Driver," "All the President's Men," and "Bound for Glory").
		The strength of the score is much more than the "Fanfare for Rocky," although certainly the opening trumpet burst suggested to viewers that they were about to see something special, even when first confronted with the sight of Rocky Balboa taking a pounding as a club fighter.
		Ultimately, what makes this a great musical score is that it is Conti's music that drives what are arguably the two most memorable sequences in the film: the final training montage and the montage that covers the fight with Apollo Creed between the first and final rounds.
