Best Ennio Morricone Movie Soundtrack

[joeybee12]

I'm torn between The Mission and Cinema Paradiso--I haven't even voted in my own poll yet!

[villager]

1. "Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion!"

Though I clicked on one of the others above... but damn, what a tough call...

Great idea for a poll, though...

[joeybee12]

2. I'm listening to his anthology right now, so it got me thinking

I guess he never won an Oscar--now that's a crime.

[villager]

4. *which* anthology?

there are a few - Italian pressings, English-language releases, etc.

I have his Western music collection myself, but it doesn't have the "Good, Bad, Ugly" tracks on it...

[joeybee12]

7. It's The Ennio Morricone Anthology" by Rhino

Got a little bit of everything on it. Released in 1995. Two cd's.

[LiviaOlivia]

3. Two Mules for Sister Sara-Other. Also

Exorcist II
Orca
The Professional
Ripley's War
Tie Me Up Tie Me Down
Machine Gun McCain
Navajo Joe

[joeybee12]

5. Smart a**!

Very good!

[villager]

6. Orca!

That's right -- kind of an underrated score.

And let's not forget: "Moses, the Lawgiver!"

[joeybee12]

9. And let's not forget Una Pistola Per Ringo & Il Ritorno Di Ringo

I don't think I have to translate those--pretty damn close to English!

[joeybee12]

8. Ok, I just voted for Cinema Paradiso, because no one else has

It was either that or The Mission.

I could listen to either all day.

[Swede]

10. You must have read my mind!

I was thinking about posting something about Ennio yesterday. Once Upon a Time in the West has some haunting music.

[joeybee12]

11. Glad I beat you to it!

You know, I don't even know if he's alive still? I assume yes. Maybe the Academy will give him a lifetime Oscar to make up for their horrid ommission.

[Bossy Monkey]

13. All your questions can be answered, in this wonderful world the Internet

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001553/

[joeybee12]

14. Wow, I knew he was prolific, but geesh!

Doesn't he ever sleep.

Did not know he did Kill Bill. I have no desire to see another tarantino film, but maybe I should. Or maybe I should just buy the soundtrack.

12. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The real name is: The Good, the Ugly, The Bad (Italian translation).

The Good, the Ugly, The Bad has by far the best soundtrack of any movie.

I should know!!!!

Angel Eyes

[joeybee12]

15. Why, were you in it????????

[angel eyes]

17. "Why, were you in it????????"

I was in the two best Westerns of all time.

The Good, the Ugly, the Bad.

High Noon.

[villager]

20. and you were good in both of 'em!

Too bad you missed being in "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "The Wild Bunch" -- you would've hit the "trifecta" -- plus one!

[angel eyes]

21. Once Upon a Time in the West and The Wild Bunch

Too bad you missed being in "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "The Wild Bunch" -- you would've hit the "trifecta" -- plus one!

These Westerns do not compare.

I was only in the BEST!

[villager]

22. we must agree...

...to disagree on that. It's not that the two you mentioned weren't/aren't great -- they are -- they're just not the sole entrants on that "greatest western" list.

That's all.

32. Hi angel eyes!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[villager]

16. welcome to DU...

..."Van Cleef!"

So yer handle doesn't come from the song that Nat King Cole and Sinatra cover so well?

[angel eyes]

18. So yer handle doesn't come from the song that Nat King Cole and Sinatra

Yes

[BigMcLargehuge]

19. I can name another one. Mission to Mars

one of the worst soundtracks ever

[joeybee12]

25. Thats' fairly recent, isn't it? Don't think I've seen it.

Can't be that bad if Ennio did it--he's wonderful and can be forgiven a lot.

[BigMcLargehuge]

26. well...

it IS that bad. It sounds like threw a string quartet down a flight of stairs.

[joeybee12]

28. I'll have to watch it--still can't believe it's that bad

[ThorsteinVeblen]

23. Mission or Cinema Paradiso

[joeybee12]

24. Did you vote--still only see my CP vote--I guess you gotta be a romantic

to love that music--the movie is one big romance--to life, to love, and to the movies.

[MrSoundAndVision]

27. Hands down the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Come on, the trio gunfight!?!? Never has film and music been so well orchestrated! Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone made history together.

[mndemocrat_29]

29. Has to be Cinema Paradiso...

Though Days of Heaven is also brilliant.

[regnaD kciN]

30. Days of Heaven...

...and you lose your bet!

;-)

[joeybee12]

31. I lost it to quite a few people....the bet, that is
