Munich keyboardist and composer Harold Faltermeyer discusses scoring 80s blockbusters "Beverly Hills Cop" (“Axel F”!!), "Top Gun," "Fletch" and "The Running Man," the latter recently reissued by Varese Sarabande. Starting at Deutsche Grammophon (engineering Stockhausen), Giorgio Moroder recruited Faltermeyer to Hollywood as his secret weapon on "Midnight Express," "American Gigolo," "E=MC2" and Donna Summer's "Bad Girls" (writing "Hot Stuff") before scoring his first Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer film "Thief of Hearts." He returns in 2020 to compose for "Top Gun: Maverick."

Morricone Island pays tribute to jazz trumpeter and trombonist turned composer Johnny Mandel who died at 94 on June 29.

Other highlights include "Point Blank," "The Last Detail," "Freaky Friday," "Being There" and "Caddyshack."
