I saw after. Done. Took some off because it was an overall feeling about the soundtracks but I don't know that could really give three tracks I like individually beyond the themes.

If we are allowed to toss in single songs, then I'll add:

Plunket and MacCleane - Escape (damn that movie sucked though)

So... movie score, not soundtrack of songs in a movie that were not made specifically for that movie.

that's gonna take some thought to actually come up with 3 separate pieces.

Kind of like properly Titling a part in a movie so people know what they're voting on?

Well, not every movie has 3 worthy tracks, though. So no single nominations?

Well, at the very least, you need a track name.

Didn't read his post

I don't know the names of the tracks

I just think it is a great soundtrack

So I deleted it and backed out

Home Alone - Main Title, 2 other random track titles. I could not care less. Like the entire score, even the ones with a choir, though they do not conform to simple instrumental.

Speaking of which, will that disqualify The Balrog/Moria score, o holy one?

I don't know if I can come up with all the information but few more suggestions

Godfather 1 & 2 Giovanni "Nino" Rota does a great job

Halloween Original - John Carpenter is nails over the music

Rocky - Bill Conti does good work

Friday the 13th Films - Harry Manfredini

The contest is movie soundtracks, not movie tracks, so I think 3 tracks is a decent representation of the overall strength of a soundtrack.

I guess my assumption was people would look up the names of the songs they liked using the Google machine. Clearly, my expectations were too high. Please refer all future nominations to DallasTeleAg.

Btw, I feel like the Home Alone score was almost the prototype for the early Harry Potter scores. Very similar sounding. My preference goes to HA due to my age.

Can we run this one more slowly? I would like to listen to many of the nominations before voting.
