Mine is Giu La Testa from Duck You Sucker! closely followed by L'Arena from Kill Bill (and probably something else....)

Far too much to narrow it down to one.

The Sicilian Clan?

I could quite happily listen to nothing but Morricone forever.

Cool. That reinforced two things: how much I love Ennio Morricone and how much I hate Kevin Costner.

 

[Skrankio-X]

Ennio is the man. My fave by a long run is Magic and Ecstasy from the Exorcist 2: Shit film, great tune.

Best Mp3 blog in the known universe; 20Jazzfunkgreats posted it recently. They said:

the vertiginous Magic and Ecstasy is the blood-curdling highlight, drums beat like merciless mallets driving nails into coffins trapping inside damned souls which are drawn to Hell by a barbed wire net of epic strings, Satan had a good catch tonight and a chorus of succubi are celebrating.

wow.

 

[La La]

wow.

i know, right? i came across it a few months ago when i was stuck in work and searching the web for nice listenables. i've probably played that montage about a thousand times - only wish i could somehow get it onto my iPod....

isn't Eli Wallach a legend? so mean an' dirty lookin'

 

[nlgbbbblth]

impossible to pick one but Giu La Testa would be a contender. That whole score is ace.

Exorcist II: The Heretic is magical and ecstatic.

 

[D0njo]

Death Rides a Horse: Monody for Guitar, nice and simple


A great title from that soundtrack too: A Man and a Whistle

 

[I Bleed Black]

Playin in Belfast soon

[Aíló]

gah! I keep meaning to book those tickets for Belfast

Secretly hoping I'll be able to see/ hear him in Rome or somewhere savage like that

Was recommended John Zorn "Big Gundown" which is all Morricone music I gots to say 'poverty' is unreal... shiver central.

This is close to sold out.

200-piece orchestra. Should be a good show.
