Title: Morricone's Macaroni
Post by: snyprrr on September 14, 2010, 02:06:12 PM
Is there not a Thread? :o

Well, if not, I'll start off with The Bird with the Crystal Plummage. There is a scene where the protagonist puts a copy of a painting on his wall to look at. As the camera moves into the black and white copy, it turns into the original color painting (which is then revealed to be in the murderer's house).

As the scene changes, the score goes from normal to creepy tinkling bells and celesta. It's all I remember. It'll have to do.

Now it's your turn.

Just as an aside. I had a heavy metal head friend who had gotten turned onto Spaghetti Western soundtracks, and he had like 4-5 box sets (anyone know these?), which were imports, mmm, in the mid '90s. Great, great stuff. I would rate SW soundtracks as Janacek-meets-Rueveltas-meets-Les Paul, haha,... how can't you want to love that?

But then there's the Persepolis inspired (as I recall, very ugly) sountrack to Holocaust 2000, the Italian Omen-ripoff with kirk Douglas.
