Can we run this one more slowly? I would like to listen to many of the nominations before voting.
Feel free to suggest an appropriate window of time between rounds.

No "Can You Read My Mind" for Superman? I feel like that's gotta be in there.

The vocals or just the orchestral music? The request was for 3 tracks, but on Superman (one of my favorite 3-4 scores ever), I couldn't settle on just 3.

I think we are choosing movie scores, so not movies with excellent song selections (or I would put up Almost Famous)

Instrumental only. OP probably should have said film score instead of soundtrack.

I need to listen to this. Haven't paid attention. I absolutely love this movie. Not a highly rated movie, but so good!

Too lazy to read through all the replies so far but

Batman Begins
Man of Steel
Transformers
Chronicles of Narnia
Last of the Mohicans
Pirates of the Carribean 1 and 3
Interstellar
HP has some good ones especially the 1st and 8th movies
Last Samurai


We will come up with many but Star Wars will win in the end calling it now. Final two will be Star Wars vs LOTR.

Personally think LOTR and Narnia might be my top two, despite my whole list being Zimmer filled.

This is still and amazing scene and score for being a Children's movie.

3. The Orgy/The Kitchen
