Ennio Morricone is imo better than John Williams. He’s not just the guy who did Westerns either. He scored the Untouchables, once upon a time in America, the thing, and his final works were with Tarantino for Django and hateful 8. Lots of his music in the kill Bill soundtrack as well. Hell even Metallica uses his song “the ecstasy of gold” to start all their concerts
I think the score for Cinema Paradiso is probably also up there among the best.
I believe that Tarantino wanted Morricone’s music for very long, and used existing musics for Django and other movies, but he finally managed to have original scores for Hateful 8 (which won the Oscar).

Wow, an even greater titan in the industry. That’s just so much awesome.
The score for “The Mission” is another absolutely cracking one.
