Morricone is best known for his incredible Western soundtracks, mainly for the spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s and considered the benchmark for Western scores. We're starting with an iconic Western, whose score isn't given the full credit it deserves.

Comp: Michael Giacchino. Klara and the Sun is adapted from Kazuo Ishiguro's novel of the same name. It follows Klara (an artificial friend or 'AF') and the girl she is a companion too (Josie) as they navigate friendship, family, illness and the dystopian world in which they live. Giacchino wrote the soundtrack, focusing on minimalism, innocence and most of all, the future.
