I believe in one of MR Kendall's early FSM issues, a letter i wrote was printed in the letter section, It dealt with the time i saw The island-80- in a drive in theatre, as the end credits came up and Ennio's beautiful melody was being played, i started to leave the drive in, in the quiet darken night, i didn't take my car, since i was on vacation and my motel room was just a little bit beyond the woods from the drive in, as i worked through the woods towards my motel i still could hear the echo of that beautiful melody, the combination of a beautiful summer's night, in the dark woods and that melody just was such a spiritual event for me, i never forgot it.I think that piece is my special favorite of Ennio, folks what do you think of it?

Mine too. I mentioned this in another thread, but if you enjoy the beautiful main theme from this, you should seriously consider picking up IL PIANETA D'ACQUA . It was written the same year and features a theme which is cut form the same cloth. Gorgeous!

Yes , Ennio was great in many ways, writing beautiful melodies, writing great mood scores, and of course what this whole board is basically about a very intelligent FILM COMPOSER, UP THERE WITH THE BEST.

I wanna know when we get a complete Exorcist II: The Heretic. Regan's Theme is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. Barr none.

I don't know how much unreleased music there may be, but this was one of my first -- if not even my very first -- score by Ennio Morricone, on LP released by Varese Sarande in the 1980s. The ONLY reason I do have a copy of the CD release of this score is because I was able to trade it on this very message board, courtesy of this thread ( http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&pageID=2&threadID=22109&archive=1 ), and I'm still thankful I got it. One of my personal favorite Morricone scores.

Watching the film again after so many years it really was a ok film. I notice a lot of times when a film is initially released often we will panned it. But then years later when we give it another chance it is not as bad or even good. I wonder why that is sometimes? Is it because we are expecting so much more when it plays in the theatres and we accept less years later?

Expectations are always a problem. People gear themselves up and the film/score just cannot fulfill their wishes because... well, the film/score was not made to satisfy these wishes but to achieve what the filmmakers wanted to achieve. So many classics were gigantic flops during their initial release. It´s always about the zeitgeist. If you hit it, you have a hit. If not, you will flop.
