Ennio Morricone

…passed away this morning and deserves his own thread. So many great pieces of music.

Just heard it on the radio. I’ve never heard of him up until now but I know his music. Rip.

A favourite:

And as already pointed out, there’s a bit of Blue Monday going on here:

Amps I found that out only around 6 months ago and was amazed that I hadn’t spotted it! It seems obvious now.

Fuckin love those films, have a Fistfull of Dynamite on the drive ready for a watching at the moment.

Always loved the ‘players’ aspect to these films. One of my faves:

lol @ never heard of Ennio Morricone.

RIP

Flares
Only being honest mate.

His score was my favorite part of the film. It’s grown on me over time, and I love Kurt Russell, but the fucking thing needs editing. Way too long.

Impossible to listen to this without some major chills.

jonattonyeah yeah I agree with you there, mate. I’ve watched it 3 times and only seen the ending once 🤷‍♂️

jonattonyeah Failed masterpiece, it’s fine as it is.

LT42 Crikey gents, you have the attention span of a four year olds. Suggest you get stuck into Apocalypse Now Redux and have a snooze.

Amps LOL, I was honestly gonna post that - it was a long time before I ever so the end - always on about 10pm on a Sunday night on C4

Apocalypse Now Redux will KILL you, it won’t just put you to sleep!

It’s true that the pace in the 70s and early 80s was completely different. People nowadays have problem watching Alien.

Yeah no issue with the Redux or Once upon a Time in America or Gangs of New York, all over 3 hrs thereabouts. Hateful Eight just got boring.

LT42 The trick is to watch it once and make it to the very end.

Exactly. Don’t mind a long film, but not enough happens in TH8 to justify its length.
