I think that the Maestro deserves his own thread...so many great melodies, soundtracks that everyone know!
Which are your favourite Ennio Mprricone's (sound)tracks?
-
Personally, I'd say 'Once Upon A Time In America'... just wonderful throughout.
The Guardian did a great list when it was announced he had died, including some tunes I've never heard from films I've never seen... https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/06/ennio-morricone-10-of-his-greatest-compositions#comment-142113749
(although they did miss out his greatest romantic theme, Cinema Paradiso, which seems like a bit of wilful ignorance on their part... >:()
Can I offer a trio of rather less well-known tunes from his back catalogue?
State Of Grace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-bD60gnbso
Mission To Mars - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZkta5p6qQE

My favourite are:
WHITE DOG...Wonderful haunting soundtrack for an incredible heartbreaking Samuel Fuller movie...if you haven't seen this film i strongly warmly recommend to you to see it! it's blunt deeply moving and still relevant unfortunately:

THE STENDHAL SYNDROME...A great unique soundtrack for one of Dario Argento's best films...:

ORCA THE KILLER WHALE...the soundtrack is just grandiose, epic, beautiful, moving...:

and of course i don't forget:
Personally, I'd say 'Once Upon A Time In America'... just wonderful throughout.
one of my favourite Morricone soundtracks too, it's so beautiful, nostalgic, haunting..."Deborah's theme" is really something...:

How could a man write so many incredibly powerful moving music like these tracks???
RIP Ennio and thanks for all your incredible music from all these decades...you will not be forgotten.

I also think The Untouchables soundtrack is just perfect throughout.
