Always brings back memories of my annual GB&U film festival.  Back in them there days, you had to wait to watch it on TV, and the local station generally showed it once a year. I'd be ready, Saturday night with my Humpty Dumpty variety pack of chips and my Domino (Dominion store brand) can of root beer. Who needed girls?

Perhaps the most recognizable 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.

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.

*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.

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.

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 ?
