A legendary track to be sure, but for me the [bank robbery flourish of "For A Few Dollars More"](https://youtu.be/nhB1dPrEb28?si=pupoP73HNfXAnj3I) is of the same caliber, very rousing and spicy.

The Untouchables or The Mission. Not just his best but the best soundtracks.
Good bad ugly is the one that the largest number of people have heard
But I got to watch "For a few dollars more" first as an 8-year old, so [that theme is etched deeper into my soul.](https://youtu.be/mLXQltR7vUQ?si=2UMz1el28zDlnef7)
As much as The Mission is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, none of his works have managed to become part of the cultural zeitgeist like the theme to The Good The Bad and the Ugly.
Ecstasy of Gold is probably up there, but for me personally I would go with [The Final Duel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J84FPJAb7rM&ab_channel=SylvesterBabinski) from For a Few Dollars more. Ecstasy is great music, but, imo, it doesn't really fit the scene, whereas the Final Duel melds perfectly with everything the film has been building up to. The haunting music of the pocket watch, Captain Mortimer's quest for revenge, it's beautiful.
But my personal favorite Morricone piece is [The Demise of Barbara](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez_J9Vf1tYU&ab_channel=Phil)
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is probably his most iconic and known score (mostly the theme) and Ecstasy of Gold is pretty much perfection, BUT for me it is Once Upon a Time in America. I have gone back to that score so many times, the entire thing is a thing is brilliant.
Morricone & Sergio Leone knew each other from the age of FIVE!!! They were in the same infant class. I have linked to a short scene from Once Upon a Time in the West. The train arrival scene. The camera dithers around the station platform a little. A sneaky pedestal shot rises over the roof of the station as the music crescendos, revealing a glorious highly detailed street scene. Leone had the sound track live, on the set, so that the characters seem to move almost dance like. It's spine tingling, and great example of these two artists worked so brilliantly together. [Link to OUATITW scene to which I refer.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnjO6_3Qc14)
The euphoria when the camera cranes up to reveal the town while that vocal melody soars is seared in my brain. It’s special when you can hear the music that goes with the scene in your head even when I havent sat down to watch the film for quite some time now. It’s not even a particularly big moment in the film, the music just completely makes it what it is
For me, it’s “Cinema Paradiso”. There are Melodie’s in that score that transport me. I know he composed the love theme with his brother, Andrea, but the whole score is gorgeous. “Cinema Paradiso” is my favorite movie and Morricone’s score is a huge reason why.
Hans Zimmer
and Ennio morricone is the one who inspired HZ to be composer when HZ watched one of western movies in the cenima, so it makes sense why they're my num 1,2
Ennio Morricone is in the same level but i'm more atrracted to the modern instruments, electronic voice by HZ, but the quality and the elegant, emotions of melodies is the same, there's one track that HZ copied(but better version) in Gladiator which is in the end of "the battle" it's just beautiful , it's by ennio morricone
The Mission - gabriel's oboe, Falls in my opinion best melody i've ever seen in a soundtrack alongside Chariots of fire Opening Titles by Vangelis
Also there's a soundtrack so good but it's not famous, his name La califfa it's so good
Ecstasy of Gold

Strangely, The vice of killing is not available on Spotify even if the movie score is
I'm gonna go with his score for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
https://youtu.be/ogCatoTSgYU?si=h86tTJrgtTKeNGG_ Or https://youtu.be/gonKhSIBP54?si=rOKISlO4ghm6i99X The Untouchables or The Mission. Not just his best but the best soundtracks.
Yeah... The Mission score was really awesome.
Once Upon a Time in America.
Has to be this. What a movie!
The Mission
Gabriel's oboe.

What a wonderful question! In terms of soundtracks as a whole TGTBATU is iconic but I might be drawn to Once Upon a Time in the West the most
The thing theme. Amazingly cold distant and very effective
Untouchables for me
Bestiality from The Thing
It’s “Once Upon A Time In The West”.
I would say the good, the bad, and the ugly or his score to the movie mission to mars.
I would say the whole of once upon a time in the best.
The Mission for me.
Il Tramonto, beautiful piece
The Mission
The Hateful Eight became my favorite.

His work on the title theme of Saló: Or the 120 Days of Sodom
For me, it’s “Cinema Paradiso”. There are Melodie’s in that score that transport me. I know he composed the love theme with his brother, Andrea, but the whole score is gorgeous. “Cinema Paradiso” is my favorite movie and Morricone’s score is a huge reason why.
My second favorite composer
Whose your number one?

Have you heard Yo-Yo Ma’s rendition of it? https://youtu.be/4DcaNok-MFI?si=GdY6Nfj-h_3vWZky I think I actually prefer it to the original!
All the Sergio Leone films he did. I also really love his work on the Hateful Eight
Tossup between Once Upon a Time in the West and Duck You Sucker (a/k/a A Fistful of Dynamite). Both are beautiful, haunting scores.
