"The Magnificent Seven"(the real one with Steve McQueen, Yul Brynner, Charles Johnson Bronson) is the other.There are lots of great western scores. My favorite is The Big Country by Jerome Moross. Elmer Bernstein, who did The Magnificent 7 also did The Comancheros and The Sons of Katy Elder, which were great scores. Ennio Morricone's "spaghetti western" scores are also great.

Bernstein’s scores seem to borrow quite a bit from Aaron Copeland (compare El Salon Mexico to Bernstein’s Magnificent Seven theme), and John Williams’ Star Wars music betrays the influence of Gustav Holst (The Planets - Mars).

An example of a great Bernstein theme for an utterly forgettable movie - Hallelujah Trail..
