RIP Diane Keaton

Super sad news that has broken in the last half hour that actress Diane Keaton has passed away at the age of 79. An Oscar winning actress for her role in Annie Hall, was also nominated on three other occasions for Reds, Marvin’s Room and Something’s Gotta Give.

She had a truly incredible career in film, starring across many different genres. Including The Godfather trilogy and Manhattan. My favourites include Father of the Bride and The First Wives Club, as they give me happy memories.

Thoughts go out to her family and friends ❤️

Legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone has passed away aged 91 in Rome.

Affectionately known as ‘Maestro’ he is involved in some of the most memorable scores in film history.

Once Upon a Time in America, The Untouchables, Cinema Paradiso, The Hateful Eight. His haunting melodies for Sergio Leone’s trilogy of westerns A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. A lot of these films I have caught up with watching over the past few months and the scores blew me away each and every time.

He was presented with an honorary Oscar in 2007 and then went on to win for The Hateful Eight.

Let’s take a little bit of time to appreciate some of his most famous music from films . . .

I have only seen 34 out of the 100

So you have guessed it this is going to be combined as my blindspot challenge as well as a new feature for 2020 (and probably beyond). Catching up with these films regarded as cult classics!
