I've decided that my favorite film composer is Ennio Morricone. He did The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (and other Dollars Trilogy films), Once Upon a Time in the West (and America), The Sicilian Clan, The Desert of the Tartars, and many more. I think his music is some of the very best. He also did good jazz back in the 1960s and '70s.
