A few years ago I explored EM westerns, and listened to about 20 to 25 scores. Now I'm interested in digging into his other scores. I really like Marco Polo, The Mission, The Sicilian Clan, Malena, and a few others, but would like to get recs from you.

My introduction to non-Western Morricone was the two LP set I Film Della Violenza, and I’m shocked that it still hasn’t been issued on cd. Most of the scores represented on that (Spasmo, Wake and Kill, Revolver, A Man to Respect, Sacco & Vanzetti, Sicilian Clan, Fists in the Pocket etc) are worth hearing in full.
But honestly I could mention a hundred scores and still not exhaust the list. Also the TV scores, Nostromo, Musashi, Moses, loads of them.

My own favorites of his non-Westerns, in close to chronological order, are:
GUNS FOR SAN SEBASTIAN (which is not a Western, despite some people in a different thread who claim that it is)
QUEIMADA (U.S. title: BURN! -- for a while in the '70s this was my favorite score and LP)
THE RED TENT
UNA BREVE STAGIONE
INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN ABOVE SUSPICION
QUESTA SPECIE D'AMORE
SEPOLTA VIVA
DAYS OF HEAVEN
ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA

"GUNS FOR SAN SEBASTIAN (which is not a Western, despite some people in a different thread who claim that it is)"
Hey! Don't count me in with that mob. Somewhere else on this forum I quoted Lucas Kendall, which is good enough for me. Something about historical drama. Sure, westerns could be counted as that too, but you know what I mean.

Done his western scores. Then why not try his gangster/mafia types. There's many a gem to be had/heard.

Technically it may not be an old west western, but irregardless of when it was set, for the purposes of Western and Non-western style music, Guns for san sebastian has always been in morricone's western ouevre and is written in his western style.
Villagarden, do you have Guns for san sebastian?
If you like his westerns, you will like Guns...

Guns for San Sebastian is sublime whatever it's bloody genre! Who the hell cares when it's so flippin' good??
Bottom line folks. Bottom line.

I was always fond of...
IAM THE LAW
FEAR ON THE CITY
THE BURGLARS
LE RUFFIAN
A MAN TO RESPECT

Don't worry -- I don't. I saw that in that other discussion you quoted Lukas, who appropriately described the film as something like "historical adventure set in 1750s Mexico."
I made the distinction above precisely because this current thread specifically sought recommendations for non-Western Morricone scores. Therefore, I explained why I led off my list with one that certain others do consider a Western.

Thanks everybody! I have heard several of your recommendations and like them very much: The Untouchables, The Burglurs, The Guns For San Sebastian, Rampage, but you also list many I don't own. I'm making a list.
