Morricone’s career spanned almost 70 years and included groundbreadking scores for films of many genres. His compositions incorporated music performed by orchestras and ensembles of all sizes, playing many different instruments and even incorporating seemingly non-instrumental sounds such as the famous coyote-like howling in the opening of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. These films are a list of the 10 most mind- blowing film scores, compiled by Randall Roberts of the LA Times.

ANDREWS, SCOTLAND SEPTEMBER 2006 Acknowledgements and Dedication While I have done the work and accept the mistakes in this dissertation as purely my own—anything good that came from this has been because of many other people who have helped me along the way. Bruce Hoffman is the greatest terrorism specialist in the world, but more than that he has been my friend and mentor along the way. I hope you will allow me to continue following along behind you learning and growing by watching and listening to you. Anders Strindberg is a hard headed Swede without whom I could not have had nearly as many fun arguments about my topic. I sure hope we have many more arguments in the future. Philip Esler guided me in this dissertation through the attacks of 9/11, me going to serve in Iraq and after I was wounded, he encouraged me to return to finish even though I didn’t really want to.

  • Film Flashback… the SIXTH SENSE PREMIERES on 8/2/1999 We Know How Most Movies Will End Before We See Them
    Monday, August 2, 2021 | No. 179 Film Flashback… THE SIXTH SENSE PREMIERES ON 8/2/1999 We know how most movies will end before we see them. Boy loses girl, but gets girl back. Killers are captured or shot escaping. Superheroes live to save the universe again. Horror villains survive to return in sequels. A notable exception to audience expectations came with the premiere Aug. 2, 1999 of M. Night Shyamalan's thriller "THE SIXTH SENSE." No one was expecting its now legendary ending, although the filmmakers worried they'd given some visual clues that might reveal too much about those "dead people" Haley Joel Osment famously insisted he could see. As it turned out, the clues went unseen. What was seen were long lines at theatres, where Universal opened "SIXTH" to a then sizable $26.7M. It did $672.8M worldwide, kick-starting Shyamalan's career. Twenty-two years later, he's still one of very few directors whose names are well enough known to bring moviegoers into theatres. When Shyamalan's latest film, "OLD," opened #1 last weekend, it was his sixth out of 11 films to do so. Since "SIXTH," he's become identified with twist endings that leave audiences wondering how they missed seeing them. Over the years, of course, some films worked better globally than others -- like "SIGNS" (2016) with $408.2M, "THE LAST AIRBENDER" (2010) with “I see dead people…” $319.7M, "SPLIT" (2016) with $278.5M & "UNBREAKABLE" (2000) with $248.1M. Click to Play As enviable as Shyamalan's successes have been, there's also a long list of high profile projects he turned down along the way.
