The song is called "The ecstasy of gold" but the movie is "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Still, that was an impressive description.
Edit: Seems my memory failed me and it's not the ecstasy of gold, as others have pointed out.

Ecstasy of gold is this one, Metallica played this too with the San Francisco Orchestra and it was as epic as you'd imagine:

One we're looking for today though is this one (the main theme):

Doesn't quite have that same riff, but some of the musical themes were reused in 'The Trio' which finished up the movie:

Admittedly, it's hard to find a song based on someone just writing out the sounds they think it makes and I feel like any Ennio Morricone score really should be thought of as a singular piece in harmony with the movie itself. This was one of his best, one of those movies where the dialogue could be optional, sometimes you didn't even need to open your eyes to understand what was going on.
Ecstasy Of Gold is from the finale where Tuco is running through the graveyard. The only vocalizations are from a soprano and a masculine choir.

My Dad always told me this was from Once Upon a Time in the West . Guess the old man lied to me!
He got the composer right though.
Oh shit I just looked it up and my old man was right and the OP is wrong! :O
