    Not the Delerue and Poledouriseses? (And perhaps a Goldsmith one?) confused

    I would have got 14, so you definitely would have beaten me too! 32 is quite impressive, and I'm surprised you knew that many to be honest!? (Not that I'm accusing of any foul play. wink)


    Well I don't have all of the scores used in the game but the clues, and the fact that they are presented in chronological order, did allow me to make some educated guesses.

    Well done to BhelPuri though! cool

    Nope.
    Me 'n' sports scores... :shrug:
    I might conceivably have guessed a couple of composers by their specific styles, but the only one I'm sure I would have gotten is Adrian.
    Ahem.
    Rocky.

    Good game, James! I didn't get any of those last few clips. I was mighty pleased (mistakenly, I realize) into thinking that #22 was Preisner's Sportsman of the Century. Wasn't Morricone supposed to that originally?
    Nice set of hints as well. They weren't too direct but had something to dig into.

    LSH,
    That's an excellent performance no matter what the result. beer

    Not too many entrants this time, which leads me to wonder if people have lost the appetite for these games?

    I thought it has more to do with people being busy these days. Heck, Franz hasn't taken part in ages.
    Perhaps we should shorten the game to 12-15 clips so it won't take too long to listen to all clips a couple of times.

    17: Seabiscuit - Randy Newman
    18: Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius - James Horner

    Hm... I had those on my short list of possible answers but didn't know them well enough to recognize them in the game!


    10: Field of Dreams - James Horner

    Hey, wow, so 10 was Field of Dreams? I want my 10 points then!

    Apologies (and extra 2 points wink ), accepted! wave

    I must say that I was a bit confused that the one of the four baseball clips that sounded the most like Horner was not Horner.... but it was! Phew.

    Third from bottom with 24 points! As a rule, sports movies are not my thing. And it has been so long since I heard the clips I'll have to relisten to them to see if there are any titles I need to track down!
