Of course everyone knows about Ennio Moricone, he has been making music for movies since 1961, and before that for tons of 'pop' music in Italy. You know him for very famous tunes, from westerns to gangster, passing by any other type.
His genius is still completely unknown, he changed music and movie music by himself, everyone is getting inspired by his work today, and over years. Tarantino once said that Moricone was on the same level as Bach, Mozart... And Moricone replied that he could not say that because we would only know in 200 years. I completely agree with Tarantino, Moricone is a genius, seeing and hearing music as he writes it (he doesn't use instruments), putting his whole self inside every new composition. If you love music, and you love movies, you need to see that documentary.
