De Laurentiis was definitely one of the greatest producers of the last century. His Italian films were already milestones (La Strada for example), but the list of films he was involved in after he started in the States is epic, The Bibel, Dune, Conan, Army of Darkness, Hannibal...
The great thing about him was that he never got arrogant or greedy. He didn't have a problem with producing a trashy film as long as he saw some kind of potential in it or liked the script or liked the guys working on it.

One of the last true giants of cinema. Rest in Peace and thank you for leaving a great movie legacy.

Didn't he produce Conana as well?

I believe you mean Conan and yes, he did produced them.
