He was arguably the greatest film composer of all time. By coincidence, I caught a couple of minutes of THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY on TV last night.

Thank you for supplying great music to some of my favourite movies.

He wrote some of the most compelling soundtracks, and to movies that I love.

Morricone's soundtracks and influences were even wider than I thought. The first Morricone soundtrack I heard was probably Good/Bad/Ugly, but I may have heard Fistful Of Dollars (1964) earlier.

Red Sonja (1985) was another Morricone movie I watched as a kid. And I loved a particular Morricone soundtrack, but didn't know it was one of his until years and years later. As a kid in the 80s, I was fascinated with a Hong Kong action movie called The Secret Rivals (1976), and little did I know that the main theme was actually from The Big Gundown (1966).

His soundtrack for The Mission (1986) is just soooooo good. I saw this as part of a school excursion for History.

I had no idea he did the soundtrack for Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down (1990), the movie I saw on my first date with my first girlfriend.
