The previous edition of the "Charlie bit me" game is here. Here's another set of clips from movies about kids (mostly).
Clips
http://www.yousendit.com/download/UmNKS … MW14dnc9PQ
You get 2 points for identifying each clip (composer and movie). 17 clips from 16 movies. Max of 34 points to play for. As usual send your guesses by PM. I'll probably keep this running until next weekend.
The clips are not in any particular order. However I've split them into easy, medium and tough categories.
Easy (Clips #1-5)
Perhaps no hints are needed. The composers and themes are well known.
Medium (Clips #6-10)
(You might be able to get the composer right away)
#6 Legendary composer. The movie is about a rich kid and a poor kid trading places.
#7 The composer should be easy to figure out. There's a cute little kid with her hair in twirls
#8 Film musical adaptation of a classic children's novel. Composer is a give-away from the style.
#9 Popular book but the movie didn't do well. Kids lose their father and stay with evil grandma. And who else to score this dark drama than a horror expert?
#10 The director likes to set love stories amidst times of terrorism. This is his 4th 'terrorist' film. Adopted kid wants to find her true parents. No score release. Clip taken from dvd and hence a bit noisy.
Tough (Clips #11-15)
The composers are not well known (mostly).
#11 Based on a true story about a victim of child abuse. The infant martyr of Quebec. Canadian composer.
#12 A child so pure at heart that he thinks all the money he stumbled on is from God. The director's popularity shot through the roof recently.
#13 A 2003 Italian remake. The 1960s Hungarian version was an Oscar nominee. From an Italian composer who is not an easy listen. These street kids are trying to protect their friend from losing his home near the saw-mill.
#14 French film from 2006. French composer. When her sister runs away from home this girl gets all the beatings from an abusive dad, and suffers in silence. You might think that Martijn and this composer were separated at birth.
#15 Spanish film. 13 Goya award nominations but only won one of them. Coming of age story set during the start of the Spanish Civil war. Composer is also a director.
Bonus
Bonus #1 Debut feature length film of this director. Sundance festival award winner. Unfortunately it did not get an Oscar nom (foreign film category). Director is a film music fan and posts infrequently on FilmScoreMonthly. The movie is dedicated to Michael Kamen and Basil Poledouris.
Soundtrack.net has pics from the scoring sessions. The movie is scheduled to get a wider release in the US this year.
Bonus #2 This is just another clip from one of the above 16 movies. Which one? -

But isn't that the easiest thing to achieve (unless you are Demetris ) ? -

Sorry for the lack of updates to this. I was in LA this weekend for a quick holiday and just got back now. I see that Peter and zir have sent their guesses.
Will update soon. -

I look forward to the challenge. I just hope that the update is added in chronological order as I sent a second set of answers several days ago - and this may have extended my top position. I wouldn't want you to go straight to the top of the list Peter.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Peter and zirael are the newest entrants. And Alan adds more. Can anyone stop him?
It's a close fight out there for places 2-4.

Bregt is the only one to make some headway on the 2nd bonus. He identified the vocals.
I know a lot of people will be mad at not getting #4. Only Peter has got it!
More players needed! -

Wow, nice scores.
I don't have time to try more guesses, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to beat Alan or zirael's scores even if I tried.

Hey, you can easily get an extra point. You got the movie for Bonus 1 but did not get the composer

Bregt puts in a helluva performance to nearly double his score. He moves ahead of Thomas who has to settle for last place.
