IMHO, “The Mission” is his best work.

Can we still have permission to play his theme from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” if the illustration on YouTube has Trump, AOC and Maxine Waters? Just askin’.

My favorite Metallica tune of all time - their take on “Ecstasy of Gold”. Rest in peace, maestro.

The Ecstasy of Gold and the Final Duel are two of the most masculine songs ever put on film.

Honorable mention to The Musical Pocket Watch, and don’t draw until you hear the last note.

He was an awesome musician/composer- “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly” is a very appropriate description of his work. I have a great many of his CD’s, many of them are among my favorites. Here are some of my favorites-

Between him, Elmer Bernstein and Lalo Schifrin, you have more than half the movies in my collection.

I may have to get that watch. I'm a little annoyed that the theme includes the string accompaniment, but still pretty cool.
