While I don't think Trent Reznor usually comes close to all the geniuses mentioned here, I have to admit this particular sequence and it's score made me feel something I had not felt for years in a movie theater:

Morricone is my favorite by far. Some ither film scores i like are A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT by Mark Isham, THE BIG COUNTRY by Jerome Moross, RED RIVER and RIO BRAVO by Dmitri Tiomkin.

STAGECOACH also has a great score, and i love military music, so i really like the scored for Ford's CAVALRY TRILOGY and THE HORSE SOLDIERS. Also LEGENDS OF THE FALL by James Horner and PEYTON PLACE

Sometimes, silence can be as dramatic as music. I've seen Dreyer's wonderful Jeanne d'Arc without any music, so it was totally silent - and it was harrowing.
Just think about how Ennio uses the silence. He's a master in that, too, not only in music.
Not enough silence is my biggest gripe with contemporary soundtracks. Nobody lets the tension speak for itself these days; the way Morricone's music speaks in Leone's films has much to do with the amount of silence that precedes it in those films.
On a completely different note - I would not compare, it's incomparable, but Mark Knopfler's done some excellent soundtracks. It's rather a pity that he has not done more...

I'd say other composers have, on occasion, come close to that magical Morricone/Leone effect - Bernard Herrmann with Welles and Hitchcock, Vangelis with
Blade Runner
, Walter Schumann with
Night of the Hunter
and Anton Karas with
The Third Man
, to name just a few. But maybe the only comparable outpouring of astonishing musical invention is John Barry's succession of scores for the early 007 films. It's a delight to play a montage of 'gunbarrel' sequences and register each subtle variation on the Bond theme, from
Dr No
through to
Diamonds Are Forever

There's a great story behind that one. Some chance encounter Reed had with a man playing a zither...

Yep. The zither was half the film.
Plus Harry Lime's first appearance is an intro worthy of Leone.

It's such a good movie. One of my all time favorites. I was luck enough to get the Criterion BD before it went completely OOP. It seems that last year Studio Canal released a really good region-free transfer in Europe though.
