Morricone Goes West

I was just thinking, how many westerns do actually have a score by Ennio Morricone? So I made the following list:


1) Gunfght at Red Sands (1963, Blasco)
2) Bullets Don't Argue (1964, Caiano)
3) A Fistful of Dollars (1964, Leone)
4) A Pistol for Ringo (1965, Tessari)
5) The Return of Ringo (1965, Tessari)
6) For a Few Dollars More (1965, Leone)
7) Navajo Joe (1966, Corbucci)
8) The Hills Run Red (1966, Lizzani)
9) 7 Guns for the MacGregors (1966, Giraldi)
10) The Big Gundown (1966, Sollima)
11) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966, Leone)
12) 7 Women for the MacGregors (1967, Giraldi)
13) Face to Face (1967, Sollima)
14) Death Rides a Horse (1967, Petroni)
15) The Hellbenders (1967, Corbucci)
16) Guns For San Sebastian (1967, Verneuil)
17) And For a Roof a Sky Full of Stars (1968, Petroni)
18) The Mercenary (1968, Corbucci)
19) The Great Silence (1968, Corbucci)
20) Once Upon a Time in the West (1968, Leone)
21) Tepepa (1969, Petroni)
22) The Five Man Army (1969, Zingarelli/Taylor)
23) Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970, Siegel)
24) Companeros (1970, Corbucci)
25) A Fistful of Dynamite (1971, Leone)
26) Life is Tough, eh, Providence? (1972, Petroni)
27) What Are We Doing in the Middle of this Revolution? (1972, Corbucci)
28) Sonny and Jed (1972, Corbucci)
29) My Name is Nobody (1973, Valerii)
30) Here We Go Again, Eh, Providence? (1974, De Martino)
31) A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe (1975, Damiani)
32) Buddy Goes West (1981, Lupo)
33) The Hateful Eight (2015, Tarantino)
Tracks from his westerns were used in following westerns (only those I know about):
Django, Prepare a Coffin (1968)
This Man Can't Die (1968)
I'll Sell My Skin Dearly (1968)
There's A Noose Waiting For You, Trinity! (1972)
Django Unchained (2012)

The 68 ones usually use one or two tracks from Bullets Don't Argue, sometimes also a few tracks from A Fistful of Dollars. The 1972 movie gives Morricone a credit for soundtrack, but it recycles a score from The Hellbenders and also from Tepepa. Django Unchained is a Tarantino movie, so it uses stuff from anything.
