Did not know Ennio Morricone did mission to mars soundtrack, guess i need to watch that movie again to hear the soundtrack closely. All Summer Long and Ballad of Easy Rider were both amazing ending songs to a movie.
Definitely listen to the last two minutes of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hql-U8Okheg - Morricone did a phenomenal job with this score (this is probably my favorite individual piece of instrumental music I have heard - save Beethoven's 7th, In The Back Of My Mind, and Vivaldi's L'Estro Armonico Op. 3 concerto No. 10).
Also, I created a thread a while back regarding musical influences for SMiLE and Morricone's work came up as a possible definite influence.
Easy Rider has been one of my favorites ever since I saw it. That soundtrack is incredible. I remember listening to the commentary by Dennis Hopper and he said he almost had another band do the whole score (I think it was Crosby, Stills, and Nash) but then, thankfully, decided against it.

Taxi Driver by Bernhard Hermann (sp?). He's the guy that did all those hitchcock films, but this is his best (and last. he died the night he finished recording it) at least for me. I think I like it 'cos it sort of reminds me of Smile with it's weird percussion and recurring theme(s). Check it out if you haven't yet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1UBfv7mh_s&feature=related
That is one of the few classic movies I haven't seen...I need to hurry up and see that. Really like that score though...reminds me of 'The French Connection' - especially the percussion.

2. Empire of the Sun - John Williams/The Man With No Name trilogy - Ennio Morricone
1. Amadeus - Mozart/Neville Mariner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields

Completely forgot about Empire of the Sun - Cadillac of the Skies is a definite top 5 favorite score songs for me.
Also, is your first choice from 'The Shawshank Redemption'? I can't remember but the name is awfully familiar.

The bit from Shawshank is from Marriage of Figaro and is not actually on the soundtrack to Amadeus. But Shawshank is also a lovely soundtrack. I hadn't thought about that one.
