As part of its 2020 season, BFI Southbank has announced that it will be hosting a six-week season of 17 films, all scored by the late, great film composer Ennio Morricone.

The films will be screened at BFI Southbank from 19 October to 30 November, and will include The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), Cinema Paradiso (1988) and the more recent The Hateful Eight (2015), which won Morricone his first Oscar, despite previously receiving five nominations for Best Score.

Morricone died in June this year, and his film scores remain some of the best of all time. He is remembered particularly for his scores for 'Spaghetti Westerns', a term he personally disliked.

Booking for the Morricone season goes on sale here to the general public on 6 October. Full listings are below.
