    Carl Reiner gone at 98.

    The quartet of movies he did with Steve Martin in the 80's were fantastic.

    Lots of tributes online, but I really liked this thread from twitter

    Sir Everton Weeks one of the legendary 3 W's has died at 95.
    Average just under 60 and the only guy to score a century in five consecutive test innings.
    Absolute legend

    Ennio Morricone, Prolific Italian Composer for the Movies, Dies at 91

    Ennio Morricone, Prolific Italian Composer for the Movies, Dies at 91

    Ennio Morricone, whose haunting, inventive scores expertly accentuated the simmering, dialogue-free tension of the spaghetti Westerns directed by Sergio Leone, has died. He was 91.

    Obviously being the massive Clint fan I am this one hits home. So many hummable soundtracks for so many movies, never actually realised he did H8ful 8.

    RIP

    The sound track to 'The Mission' was awesome. The movie? Not so much

    He was responsible for some iconic movie soundtracks. I wonder if he tailed off or if the movies that suited his style died off?

    Anyway, I hope he rests in peace.

    His soundtrack for The Untouchables was arguably the best I've heard.

    Classic case of a soundtrack taking a film to another level

    My favourite Morricone was the soundtrack to Once Upon A Time In America.

    Haunting.

    Anyway, here is a photo of Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone at primary school in 1937

    Apparently he was a decent chess player as well - seriously considered training towards turning professional.
