    2. A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

    Moviegoers got to see Clint Eastwood's inscrutable 'man with no name' for the first time in Sergio Leone's pioneering Spaghetti Western. For a new kind of anti-hero, Morricone created a new kind of soundtrack - with male chanting, Spanish guitars, whistling and bells. It catapulted the Italian composer to movie scoring stardom.
