Since Ennio Morricone was born in 1928, I think it's interesting to see what Morricone fans might list as their top 28 favorites.
Here's mine:
1. Tarantola Dal Ventre Nero, La (Black Belly Of The Tarantula)
2. Lucertola Con La Pelle Di Donna, Una (A Lizard In A Woman's Skin)
3. Addio Fratello Crudele ('Tis Pity She's A Whore)
4. The Stendhal Syndrome
5. Giustiziere, Il (The Human Factor)
6. Uccello Dalle Piume Di Cristallo, L' (The Bird With The Crystal Plumage)
7. Poliziotto Della Brigata Criminale, Il (Fear Over The City)
8. Giornata Nera Per L'Ariete (The Fifth Cord)
9. Macchie Solari (Autopsy)
10. Mose' (Moses The Lawgiver)
11. Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura (Cold Eyes Of Fear)
12. Tranquillo Posto Di Campagna, Un (A Quiet Place In The Country)
13. Disclosure
14. Wolf
15. The Thing
16. Guns For San Sebastian
17. The Island
18. Corta Notte Delle Bambole Di Vetro, La (Short Night Of Glass Dolls)
19. Two Mules For Sister Sara
20. Foto Proibite Di Una Signora Per Bene, Le (Forbidden Photos Of A Lady Above Suspicion)
21. Resa Dei Conti, La (The Big Gundown)
22. Barbablu (Bluebeard)
23. Fraulein Doktor
24. Navajo Joe
25. Chi L'Ha Vista Morire? (Who Saw Her Die?)
26. Figli Chiedono Perche', I
27. Gatto A Nove Code, Il (Cat O' Nine Tails)
28. Pugni In Tasca, I (Fists In The Pocket)
Does anybody have 28 favorites?
A lot of scores in your list that I dig from Morricone, it would seem we have similar taste so I'm definitely going to check out some of the titles I'm not familiar with! Thanks for posting.

Well, after a week - and over 20 contributors (limiting nominated titles to 28 or 29 - but no second lists - e.g. Tall Guy  ) then I've counted a total of 423 nominations incl. repeats.
And still top: C'Era Una Volta Il West (Once Upon a Time in the West) with 15, followed by Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) and Giu' La Testa (A Fistful of Dynamite/Duck, You Sucker) each with 12.
There are many titles - that I know of - not mentioned and, whilst no surprise for, say, L'Attentato (Plot) (1972), Grazie, Zia (Come Play with Me) (1968) and L'Istruttoria E'Chiusa: Dimentichi (The Case Is Closed, Forget It) (1971) ...
... omissions of Il Prato (The Meadow) (1979), Corleone (1978), L'Avventuriero (The Rover) (1967) and Senza Movente (Without Apparent Motive/Sans Mobile Apparent) (1971) do surprise me.
And, especially: Le Marginal (Professione: Poliziotto) (1983)
Then again, I didn't choose these so why should anyone else.

An impossible task for me, but only because I really only "know" about 10% of the composer's vast output, so I'd be listing 28 titles out of the 50 I've got/ heard. Hardly representative. Actually, I must admit that I have a kind of love-hate relationship with Morricone - so many of the passages I adore form parts of soundtracks which don't really stand up (for me) as a satisfying complete listen, and I don't want to just list 28 things which have got great bits in them. Anyway, what I'm going to do is mention ONE score which I always adored in its entirety and which nobody has mentioned yet - either because I'm the only one who's got it (unlikely) or because nobody thinks it's amongst the best (possible..) - So without further rabbits, I recommend -----
NINFA PLEBEA (THE NYMPH), from 1995/96ish. Beautiful overlapping strings, sunny optimism, jaunty faux-classical mimimalism, achingly romantic themes on violin, the touching innocence of what sounds like a recorder, darkly romantic passages spelling possible tragedy, an outrageous tango and a few blasts of downright violent horror.
Any thoughts on this one from the Morricone experts? Is it a highly-regarded work within his ouvre? Do YOU like it? Have you even got it? (etc)

Oo, you're a harsh judge, not allowing second lists!
A score I used to own on LP which hasn't been mentioned yet is Il Prefetto di Ferro (The Iron mayor) which had a rural mafia feel and which I enjoyed very much. Would like to track that one down again (is it even on CD?)*
Mitch - you count things - how many different scores have been mentioned in people's top 28?
EDIT - * yes, on Beat
