WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAT?!
Ok. You've played this a thousand times.

YES!!
EXCELLENT!!  Thanx RP!   
9 -> 10
Perhaps the most recognized piece of film music in history and certainly one of the most iconic.  I first heard this when I was about 12 when I saw the film for the first time. It resonated deeply then and continues to do so now. Straight 10.
Every time I hear this I have to find the comment with the cat et al! Love it.
And then there's this:

Its nice, but being played too often

EXCELLENT!!  I was 11yrs old when this tune (& movie) came out. It brings back memories.  Thanx RP!

Anyone who likes this should check this out. It makes a work of art .. a work of art.

think that line was more of a statement from Clint ("Blondie") than a question.

It would be great to hear "The Ecstasy of Gold" from this film. Used brilliantly in the scene where Tuco runs in circles around the cemetery.

I simply cannot hear the main riff without picturing Curly.  I think that SCTV "commercial" of Curly from Three Stooges singing the great classics ruined it for me.
 
The actor that voiced Curly, I'm almost 90% sure, was the great John Candy.
A classic in every way! Obviously where Tarantino got his inspiration!

After hearing this so much, you forgot how really weird it is. I mean, all that "wa-wa-wa." It's silly. I mean, awesome. But silly. 



*All* of Morricone's scores are like that.  Listen to "Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion" for another example that's just as weird, but completely different.

Worked pretty well in the movie...
One of my favorites
One of the best Civil War songs I've ever heard is on this soundtrack how about playing it?

I grew up with a circa 1970 killer HiFi that my dad brought home from Japan thanks to the Air Force, and this album was in regular rotation on vinyl... as were the movies every time they came on
Godlike! One of my favorite movies.... Thanks

As these films were made in Italy with many Italian actors, hence the 'spaghetti western' tag, and as an Italian speaker, I've often fancied getting hold of an Italian copy of the film to compare with the English language version.

Who are the bozos that gave this incredible classic < 8?  The Marconi sound track for this TOTALLY ICONIC movie is considered one of the best movie soundtracks ever written.

 
Well the man's name is Morricone, not Marconi and it's indeed a classic. But are you not the person who is responsible for more than 200 ratings ≤ 3 ?

So I guess you're the ugly.

It's considered one of the all-time best movie soundtracks/theme by those who consider themselves authorities about such.

This is one of my long time fave's.  I was SHOCKED to see on the Academy Awards this year that Morricone just won his first ever Academy Award (I forget what for).  Talk about talent falling through the cracks!!  BTW, I generally could care less about the Academy Awards; this items was very interesting though...  I'm very glad Bill plays this regularly!
Loved this since I was a little kid.  My mom used to play this at the highest volume and she would ROCK THE HOUSE!  {#Motor}
his latest is great also
from 'Hateful Eight'
during the opening credits  the stagecoach is marching through the snow 
with the Morricone theme playing loudly and proudly 
Best movie theme song ever.  Best western ever.  Best line ever (from Tuco): "When you have to shoot - shoot - don't talk!"
