Ennio Morricone's great musical compositions for the films of Sergio Leone stand as some of the most evocative and stirring works I have encountered in my life, and they are in no small part why I enjoy the Spaghetti Western genre of the 60s so much.
From, "A Fistful of Dollars," to, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," the trilogy is loose enough to not really be reliable storytelling of one character's journey, as indeed the director had no such intention, but they all feel connected and a part of the same world. Very few years of my life have been spent where I have not committed at least one day to watching all three great films.
