Gotta be the group of death, right?
There was a group early on with 3 strong contenders...can't exactly recall.
S & V are also painful.
I was locked into FOTR until I listened to the Potter cuts and then I pulled a Boromir and betrayed the Fellowship

Going into today, Williams has 9 of the top 20 vote getters.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Man, the Home Alone soundtrack is great. It really elevates the movie and helps make it the classic it is.
So FOTR is easily missing one of it's top tracks and one of the most emotional pieces of current music on the planet with "The Breaking of the Fellowship". Guess we had to handicap that score somehow
The Breaking of the Fellowship has a part with sung lyrics. Brian and I decided to disqualify that track and he replaced it with The Ring Goes South.wangus12 said:

Reminder: You can (and should) absolutely have that track in mind when voting. As Muck has said repeatedly, the three nominated tracks are just for posters to familiarize themselves with scores if they're not familiar with them, but it's not like the others are disqualified.
Sooo, yeah.
And correct -- Breaking of the Fellowship is the best track in the trilogy and likely in this whole tournament.

I maintain that John Williams' score took that from what would've been a successful holiday movie (ie The Santa Clause), to all-time classic and the box office juggernaut it was.Chipotlemonger said:

Macaulay Culkin should probably give half of his lifetime earnings to John Williams.
That's a fair opinion for sure. I voted Home Alone in this round.

Morricone getting a tough draw once again.
The Mission's fate
The Mission's fate
We sang "Somewhere in My Memory" with the BRSO Chorus in our Christmas concert last year. Great piece of music.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Dang. Love Home Alone's score. Tough draw.

Live look at The Mission in that group:

Yep, I was fully prepared to vote for Home Alone until I saw The Fellowship of the Ring in its bracket. John Williams' music truly elevates that movie, and it is a staple of my Christmas-time listening. But FOTR is like Star Wars to pretty much anything else, it is just superior.
I have sweated off 9-10 lbs after setting up the Slip and Slide in the back yard. After I regain the will to live I will update.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be very curious to hear the voting breakdown for this round.
There is only one winner of Group Q. Only one. And it does not share POWER.
Group Q champion: Fellowship of the Ring
Group R champion: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
67 movies have now received votes, which means we have our first eliminations from the field of 64. Do you want to know them or should I just wait until the end?

Not gonna like. I voted for The Mission just so it would hopefully have some votes to get into the field of 64
I also strategically voted that round. FOTR is probably my favorite soundtrack in the field, but I knew it would win the group.wangus12 said:

I believe the word you guys were looking for is:
I'm just curious how Home Alone did...

It did poorly.Tied for third/last with the Mission. It is currently tied for 44th in the Field of 64 with 7 groups of 4 qualifiers left.Brian Earl Spilner said:

Dang.
BttF is an easy one
I'm torn on 2001. While the score is iconic and perfectly compliments the film, none of it is originally composed for the movie. As such, I think I will go with Magnificent Seven.

I love BttF and its score dearly, but I had no problem voting for Braveheart's score instead. Sorry, Marty.Yoda said:

2001 should have been disqualified. It's not an original score.
No matter how many times I watch the end of BTTF, I'm still on the edge of my seat. Every damn time.
Eh. Rules said instrumental soundtracks, nothing said it had to be original.
