My introduction to Morriricone’s music was through all those spaghetti western films by Leone and Corbucci, I started watching those films when I was very young. The most memorably themes to me were the scores for three of Eastwood’s spaghetti westerns and the haunting theme he did for The Great Silence, one of the great little seen western films. Tarantino copied a few scenes from that film for his Django Unchained.
I really like his theme for The Mission too, I haven’t seen the film in ages though. Might have to buy it on BD soon. Yeah Ruth as i mentioned before this is one of my favorite soundtracks. They actually used some of the music in a Juan Valdez for Columbian coffee growers commercial back in the 80’s. I couldn’t find the exact one but imagine “On Earth as It Is in Heaven” being played over something like this: Cinema Paradiso would have top be up there too. A Other ones that stand out for me are The Untouchables and The Good The Bad and The Ugly, Days of Heaven, Malena and Once Upon a Time in America. His versatility and ingenuity was his strength.

Samples can be found here. Film is in my blood. LOVE movies of all genres, from Jane Austen to James Bond.

It had a very good arrangement by Herbie Hancock, but it used existing pieces.
