R.I.P. Ennio Morricone - aa ee aa ee aaaa

Without his music, spaghetti westerns may not have made it into the cinema conversation.  Lots of good trivia on Ennio in the above.  Did you know the Dollars Trilogy films were all released in the U.S. in 1967?  Hell, I saw them in theaters but had forgotten when.  I was more interested in my dates' morals or lack thereof than film soundtracks.  On the edge of seventeen.  

Ahh, Stimpy, those were the days.  Bravissimo, Maestro Ennio et grazie mille.

Damn.  There's just one kind of man that you can trust, that's a dead man.  Or a gringo like me.

Also composed the music for Cinema Paradiso, The Untouchables, The Thing and many others.  
 

What a career and legacy.

I watched G/B/U last night on Grit.  It had commercials and wasn't wide screen, but the music was still great.

Rest in peace, sir.

Should have won the Oscar for the mission. RIP.

Once Upon a Time in America is amazing. Even with James Woods’ idiocy.

In many instances, his score was just as important to the movie as the script, the acting, and the cinematography.

Best soundtrack, and from the best western ever.

Bravo e buona notte, maestro. Gracie mille.

On a different thread, I said that I would have asked him to score my life.

The music from Cinema Paradiso is my favorite.

And I can't count how many nights I poured myself a drink and sat back and listed to Yo-Yo Ma playing the music of Morricone, one of my favorite albums of all time.
