Thanks for your work Agee, I obviously have a lot of great score listens to look forward to. I should be seeing Henry V in a month or so as it creeps up my Netflix list.

Psycho

Go Psycho and Vertigo so I can vote in the final :D

Ouch, I'm only seen/heard 2 of the final 8 - Psycho and Vertigo.

Vertigo

Vertigo

The Godfather

and abstain #3. I hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those tournaments where I can't vote in the finals.

2 abstains in a row, King Kong is the only one of the 4 I've seen/heard.

Personally I disregard the music seperate from the film. The score is married to the film and it's images. It's purpose is to serve the film. Several of my favorite scores are relatively unlistenable to on CD - Taxi Driver being a prime example. I bought it, but a couple of times through and...

Psycho

Alexander Nevsky Arise ye Russian hordes! I would mostly disagree with that assessment of The Paradine Case. I think Hitch's signature themes are very apparent. It positively reeks of sexual compulsion and man compromised by morals and societal conventions. I also thought it was one of...

Aw man, Limelight is excellent, but alas, no Sea Hawk. Count me in the Paradine Case LOVED IT, group. You're right about the superb cinematography, though I still wouldn't put it ahead of Rebecca for best looking Hitch B&W. Not to sidetrack the discussion, but why is it hated? I've had...

hmm, can't really decide on this one. I watched The Paradine Case tonight and really enjoyed Franz Waxman's score.

The Adventures of Robin Hood

Geez George, after your voluminous praise and essays on how underappreciated George Harrison is, you coulda thrown a vote Ravi Shankar's way. ;) You people are all just voting for Bernstein cause that's what you've been TOLD to think. You're all too scared to vote the way you REALLY feel. :D

Pather Panchali if I'm allowed to vote. The way Shankar's music can evoke both great joy and great sadness, while maintaining almost the same volume and tone is quite stunning. I think I connected more with the music than I did the film.

I guess there won't be any easy ones at this point. The Bride Of Frankenstein

Gone With The Wind, though Magnificent Ambersons is certainly a fine score.

Love the 7th Voyage score but haven't seen Henry V which is somewhere in the middle of my Netflix list.

Lew, I've had 8 1/2 for almost a year now and still haven't unwrapped it. It's my favorite Fellini film too. I have a rather demented anal way in which I watch movies from my collection, tending towards "save the best for last" and watching bare bones discs before those packed with extras...

I can see there wasn't much point in attempting to inject something different into this tournament as all of my picks have gone down to traditional Hollywood score music. Nothing wrong with that since obviously my opinion is in the great minority and much more uninformed than everyone else here...

Alexander Nevsky I prefer Hulot's theme in M. Hulot's Holiday to the music of Mon Oncle, but I think I would put Nevsky ahead of either of them.

A Streetcar Named Desire Add Do The Right Thing to the sweatiest list, I smell a tournament :D

It's been too long since I've seen TGSET.

haven't seen Charade either. I think it's on my Netflix list, I'll check.

Vertigo

Couldn't vote anyway, because I haven't seen Big Country, but Cabiria's theme is one of my favorite pieces of film music, it can be both hopeful and happy, and at the same time so sad and melancholy, like Cabiria herself. Within the film it is perfectly mirrored to Giuletta Massina's expressions...

Psycho

Sunset Blvd. Mancini's repetitive score is as annoying as almost everything else in that movie.
