Ennio Morricone R.I.P.

This great film composer just died at the age of 91, referred to by Nevada Public Radio as the sound of the American West. I think I've seen "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" just to hear the title theme, and  I've seen "Once Upon a Time in the West" too many times just for the music, especially  the railroad scene at the end:



I also love the theme at the beginning of this clip from "Once Upon a Time in America":


CNN lists five of his movie tracks you have to hear.
