Wish I could figure out clip 17. My life would be complete.
Well it wouldn't, but anyway.
If I win, do I get to run the next game?A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

I think Peter had one ready.
But well, I'm not going to decide because you win.

franz, feel free to run the next game if you'd like. I have a game ready, but there's no rush, so I can just run my game when I one day win, or when there's no one else volunteering to carry on the torch.

First of all, let me say that this is a very funny game that I enjoy very much, and I really want to participate myself. However, before I do so, I would like to come with a disclaimer/excuse/whatever:
1. I have hardly bought any new soundtracks since 2001 that are not by Williams, Elfman or Goldenthal. Only the odd exception. So I obviously don't stand a chance on most new soundtracks that have been released since then.
2. When I buy a soundtrack, I look at the track titles maybe once (when I first get it) and then never again. I don't like to associate the movie with my listening. So I'm not very good at remembering track titles!
In short, I SUCK AT THIS GAME!!
However, I DID recognize a handful of these (and even a track title or two!), so I'll send Bob my replies. Just don't expect me to score very high!
It's all for fun after all. I doubt anyone will lose respect for you if you suck at the game. I've had several embarrassing entries in this game in the past, but I always participate anyway, so others can feel better about themselves when I do poorly.

No, you go first. I haven't got an mp3 editor to get the clips ready yet.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Great!
Btw, I recommend Audacity. Pretty easy to edit mp3s with, so you can have another game ready when you have won mine.

That makes sense, it sounds very Horner. I was going through Krull and Willow, and completely forgot CASPAR existed.

Had not idea about these as I've heard none of those scores.

www.maintitles.net/music/gts/bob/Clip14.mp3
This one's actually in my collection, but I don't think I've ever listened to it. There is a chord there that he used at a critical moment in THE PRESTIGE, and I would have guessed that it was him had it come down to a desperate guess.
16. Frank Churchill & Edward H. Plumb - Bambi (1942) - 15. Reunion
www.maintitles.net/music/gts/bob/Clip16.mp3
That sounds like BAMBI music.
17. Danny Elfman - Sleepy Hollow (1999) - 18. A New Day!

This drove me bloody mad. I kept trying to think of people who'd copied Elfman's phrasing for brass and female choir, as I didn't think you'd quote the same composer twice. (Little did I know...)A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Horrible score for a horrible film
I missed playing again.......sorry
Looking at the answers and my list which I didn't submit, I'm surprised to find that I would have done very well indeed, not enough to trouble Steven's 2nd place but I didn't submit and I didn't try guessing so who knows.....is there a "kick yourself in the ass" icon?On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

New game!
I know this will run over Christmas, but it doesn't really have a Christmas theme, except for an abundance of Christmas smilies. There's no other theme, except that the cues are all quite neat.
The easiest tracks are in the beginning, and it gets more difficult, but more worthwhile, in the latter cues.
Easy (1 point for composer, 1 for title, 1 for track):
-01-
-02-
-03-
-04-
-05-
Medium (1½ points for composer, 1½ for title, 1½ for track):
-06-
-07-
-08-
-09-
-10-
Hard (2 points for composer, 2 for title, 2 for track):
-11-
-12-
-13-
-14-
-15-
Impossible (5 points for guessing the score that the bonus is from):
-Bonus-

Hey Bob, why I am placed after FalkirkBairn when I have more points than him?!?
In any case, I'm relieved to know that I managed to get everyone right that I have actually heard. The ones I didn't guess...well, I simply have never heard them, so there you go.I am extremely serious. -

I'll try and have a stab at Peter's game if it stays up long enough, though.

Well, you would've been the only one with any guess there This was 'the hard one', though I thought some would've said The Prestige, since it indeed sounds a lot like it.
This drove me bloody mad. I kept trying to think of people who'd copied Elfman's phrasing for brass and female choir, as I didn't think you'd quote the same composer twice. (Little did I know...)
I was kinda hoping for that effect! (but didn't think it would work, because this one is so Elfmany... but indeed, especially because it is, it's something obvious that other composers would try to mimmick). Great I tricked you into it!
