Tommy Vercetti Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Sad news as one of the greatest film composers ever Ennio Morricone has passed away at the age of 91. Truly a legend of film composing. Of course his scores for Sergio Leone in the Dollars trilogy are iconic. He did scores to countless movies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AyxDVBX2o0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4W17gTumi8 Some faves of mine are: Almost Human (1974) - Great movie. The best poliziotteschi film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJU9w4TQq9I The Great Silence (1968) - Also a great movie. A great bleak western. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9vkC-Y0pwM Great score from an underrated film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mzkEjfJZh8 Rest In Peace to a film legend and musical genius.

Vincent Hanna Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Just heard the news no one deserves to be called a legend more than Morricone. Extremely talented man. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glades Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 And that´s with some screenshots from the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMaOFdZCLeA&list=PLBB4051F3890D5CEE&index=3 "The Octopus" - this was the crime show I watched as a child the same time MV was aired first. And I was deeply impressed. For Germany Michele Placido, the Italian commissario, was a star comparing to Don Johnson. It was about the Italian mafia and from the very beginning very tragic. Ennio Morricone wrote the music to most of the seasons. And I still remember the music and the show very well despite I haven´t seen it for a long time.

Dadrian Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 One of THE greatest of the greatest. RIP. I would love to see a series of comments by legendary film composers about their thoughts on his work, and how they were influenced by him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
