For those not familiar with "Charlie bit me" here goes-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM
It's a popular internet video that has had more that 47 million views. In other words, the theme for this game is that the clips are from movies about kids (mostly).
You get 2 points for each clip (composer and movie) and for the bonus clips the points are doubled (max of 44 points in this game). As usual send your guesses by PM. I'll probably keep this running until next weekend.
Let me know if you have any difficulty in downloading the clips from
http://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01FN … bEJFQlE9PQ
The 18 clips are in chronological order
Hints (updated)
#1 The evil kid in this movie keeps practising (or rather pounding) the French folk song Au Claire de la Lune. Together with the dissonant theme it is "the musical equivalent of the image of innocence hiding a cold murderer". There's a big composer signature giveaway in the last few seconds.
#2 A well-known classic (book, film and score). The composer scored the film as seen from the viewpoint of the children in this story of racial injustice.
#3 A few years before this the director made a creepy, psychological thriller about a governess and two kids. He returns to somewhat similar territory in this film. As they say... the children's story that is not for children.
#4 What's a game on kids without a lullaby? And who else but a legendary composer for this haunting film?
#5 The kid here is in the center of a custody battle. This score by an obscure Australian composer was released by a label known for its limited edition club releases.
#6 Another clip from this appeared in Thomas' recent game. No score release except for this cue on a compilation, and a suite from a re-recording.
#7 A child is kidnapped and someone is out with a vengeance to get her back. You might be more familiar with the 2004 remake of this film.
#8 No clue required for this popular movie, with a score by everyone's favorite composer.
#9 In the 1970s this country had an epidemic of kidnappings. This innocent kid from a family of criminals is on the run. The composer's first and last name end with the same vowel.
#10 Bored at her aunt's place, this orphan girl makes an exciting discovery (don't tell anyone!) while exploring outside.
#11 This fun remake of a film involves twins who swap places.
#12 The last few seconds should be a giveaway. If not then look to the far-east for a composer who loves to use the piano.
#13 This composer is more known for an acclaimed film he did with an Italian actor who likes to clown around (even at the award shows). There's a lingering sense of nostalgia and sadness in this cue for the movie about a family coping with the death of their son.
#14 Yet another clip that doesn't need a clue. Just drive away.
#15 Like the movie in the previous clip, there's a marriage in the climax that needs to be stopped. A lot of mischievous kids need a kind caretaker to show them the way.
#16 A model plane comes alive and is the connection to this boy's dead father. A beautiful score by a French composer.
#17 France again! What a rapturous theme for boy scouts hiking on the Alps!
#18 Yet another French composer. A documentary for pregnancy around the world.
Bonus #1 (from 1977) Previously this girl terrified all and made heads turn. Here's a nice lullaby for her from someone who knows a thing or two about wordless vocals.
For guilty pleasure you can also watch Bollywood's plagiarized take on this song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxUw5c0uWgc
Bonus #2 (from 1986) A gorgeous work from an under-rated composer who has sadly taken very few film projects in the last 10 years (and none in the last 3). The movie is not about kids but the setting is in a school for the deaf. -

Ha ha! Wait until you hear another rip-off in the same movie, this time from a Polish composer.

Come to think of it I did try to put some Broughton but then my fondness for the Europeans (there are 8 of them here) meant that he has to sit this one out. -

I updated/corrected the hints so do check them in the original post.
Alan pulls ahead with a great start but the game has only just begun.

Alan sets the bar very high with a top score and only two cues to get. Much respect and admiration goes to him for successfully identifying #17 which I think is the most friggin' gorgeous score in this whole game.
Southall does splendid with only 1 set of guesses.
Miya leaves The Grey Pilgrim behind with more correct guesses.
But where are the other players? Will Franz take a break from his self-imposed exile from these games? Where are Peter, Timmer, Demetris...?

You got 7 participants in 3 days! I think that's pretty decent. Look at the other games, some didn't even get 7 people in the whole game.
I plan to try it out, so you'll at least reach 8.
Peter
PS.I'm also working on a rather silly game of my own. Not sure when it will be ready though. -

Since score updates were being made in old posts and not new ones the thread was falling way down the list of topics. A "bump" just put it back to the top of the pile.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 -

Just sent in my guesses, but there's no need for panic Alan, or even Thomas for that matter..."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -
- CommentTimeSep 4th 2008
Ok time for another score update. Alan needs to get only #16 to complete the game. Meanwhile zirael makes a stunning entry to 2nd place but within reach of Alan.
Pawel settles down nicely in the middle with just his first guess. DreamTheater needs to double his score if he is to beat his bro.

I'll probably let this run for a couple more days to let folks like Peter submit their guesses.
Who's on for the next game? Anyone have something ready? -
- CommentTimeSep 6th 2008
BhelPuri, I don't have internet connection at home. I'm using one of my uni's pooters for the moment, but there's no sound on it. I hope to restore connection at home on monday, but feel free to end the game, as I don't want everybody to wait for me.

It looks like no one has a game ready as yet, so I'll let this carry on till Monday. Until then if anyone wants to submit more guesses they are welcome to. -

Southall surprises Alan and takes over the lead. Peter does admirably well with only one guess and joins Thomas. And Bregt scores four times as much as Demetris would have scored if he had played.

I knew I must have had it somewhere! Should have been able to guess it. Such a lovely score.
Great game, Mr. Puri!
