VTI put out *When I'm Dead and Gone*, and you can actually track it down in Chicago for $23. It's on DVD, obviously

Honestly, if I’m looking at the big picture, nothing ever hits quite like the soundtracks from Yann Tiersen’s *Amelia* or those classic Ennio Morricone scores from the *Wild West*.
When it comes to directors, the guys who actually get the music right? For me, it’s always been Stanley Kubrick, Sergio Leone, and David Lynch.

If Stulic actually wanted to say something, he would have reached out by now.
Honestly, I think he made the right call by walking away.
He basically said that once the inspiration dries up, he’s done. He isn't interested in just dragging things out for years like some... well, you know. Some people just stay in the game forever without having any actual potential left in them.

Moulin Rouge

After mentioning Morricone, you just listed a whole pile of movies, which honestly makes it look like you think he scored every single one of them. I mean, obviously, I knew Jeunet directed "Amelie," and it never even crossed my mind to mix up Tiersen with the director himself...

Look, after Morricone, I just threw out a few composers who are impossible to ignore—like ROTU. As for swapping Tiersen with the director, that was just because it was nearly two in the morning and I haven't had a decent night's sleep in almost a week thanks to some endless obligations. My brain was fried. I realized the mistake first thing in the morning and fixed it immediately.
Between Morricone and "Amelie," there were still three other massive film composers (I'm talking about their legendary work, not their physical proportions, so I'm still genuinely baffled how you managed to see Morricone-no there...)

I’m just curious why you felt the need to quote my post and bring up John Williams when I didn't mention him once.

The score for Amelie wasn't even written by Morricone, man, it was Tiersen... I mean, it's a great movie, but that's just one film...

Who said Morricone wrote it? I mentioned Jeunet because I was tripping, writing this stuff at 1 AM. When I saw what I actually typed this morning, I fixed it. Seriously, where on earth did you see Morricone linked to Amelie? I honestly have no clue.

You clearly need a serious education in cinema; it’s obvious you only "grew up" on "Star Wars," and compared to those, even "Star Trek" (the first two sequels) are massive like "Citizen Kane" or "The Third Man." Basically, you "learned" about movies through that mindless music from those Lucas-esque picture books designed to lobotomize the masses.

You're quoting my post alongside this pile of nonsense. Where in that specific post did I ever mention John Williams or Star Wars music? Please, just point it out to me—just like you "found" Morricone attached to Amelie.

You can think whatever you want about the Oscars or Williams, but the reality is, winning five Oscars and fifty nominations isn't some fluke. He definitely didn't earn all that just because he has pretty eyes.

So, you finally realized it wasn't Morricone for Amelie. Fine. Whatever.

Self-correction here—since the edit window for my post already slammed shut, I’ve gotta do this the long way.

Amélie

Jean-Pierre Jeunet directed the movie, and Yann Tiersen did the score.
I was typing that out around 1 AM, so my brain was basically mush—honestly didn't even realize what I was putting down. Apparently, though, nobody else noticed the slip-up.

Where on earth are they on this list?
I mean, can you even wrap your head around a decent Western without Ennio Morricone's score? It just doesn't work.
Then you’ve got Nino Rota—The Godfather, Godfather, Godfather, Amarcord, and all those other Fellini classics.
Or Maurice Jarre—Dead Poets Society, Dr. Zhivago.
And Vangelis—Blade Runner, 1492.
Not to mention Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Amélie.

Look, any serious conversation about film scores is basically impossible without these names. Sure, we can all play favorites and pick our own personal heroes, but honestly? Trying to talk about movie music without mentioning Rota or Vangelis is like trying to talk about soccer without bringing up Maradona. Just thinking about The Godfather Waltz gives me chills.

Look, she’s just some devout Christian who happens to have the Bible memorized.

Wait, don't Christians constantly push back against the Matrix? If I remember correctly, there was even an official statement out of Vatican City the other day calling the Matrix out. So, how can she be this "devout Christian" if she's basically going against the Pope?
