I believe the number for the maestro is currently around 500! Just unbelievable!

Same for low-budget films or the horror genre... The Oscars take themselves and the movies far too seriously — comedy is rarely honored, for example. Same for low-budget films or the horror genre…

I also really liked his score for <b>Days of Heaven</b> which got some play last night as well. It seems like Morricone's scores started getting overly dramatic in the 1980s and he stopped experimenting a lot, which is a shame but he's an amazing composer and it was great to see him except his award last night from Clint Eastwood. I did enjoy the show a lot last night, but I was disappointed that <b>Pan's Labyrinth</b> didn't win Best Foreign Film. I really like Guillermo del Toro and his enthusiasm and love for movies is really heartfelt. Last but not least - I hope you enjoy the <b>Kommissar X</b> flicks! I think they're a lot of fun.

Morricone's most interesting scores were for the westerns and giallo for the most part. One of my favorite scores though, not mentioned, is for <b>1900</b>. Congratulations on Cinedelica by the way. I hope to check out <b>Kommisar X</b> soon. I’m in general agreement with you. Morricone’s most interesting scores were for the westerns and giallo for the most part.
