Polls, at the other place

Post by belchingmatt »

So we've had theme tunes, and games and sci fi character polls at the other place, but just this moment I've thought about a reasonable poll for the unsung hero of all motion pictures, the score.



As far as I am concerned the score can make or break a movie, and a popular soundtrack such as Wet wet wet for 4 weddings and a funeral doesn't really count as a score to me.



Anyway, does anyone here think it would be worthwhile running a poll after the current sci-fi character one? At the end of the day a decent soundtrack wouldn't be too bad, such as with Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs, but when I think score I am thinking of the real classics you get, such as The good, the bad and the ugly, and the great escape, etc.

I don't think I would run it myself, just wondering if it would have any interest.

I'm sure it would generate interest, and probably some controversy too. Some great scores were written for the film, but a lot of films used classical or popular pieces. Kubrick's 2001 springs to mind.



I've done several polls already recently, so it's someone else's turn <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It could be an interesting one alright. But I'd guess most people would struggle to suggest too many that weren't already existing songs. I mean I think the music for LOTR was written for the movie, but which snippet would you use?



Also, if you want to run it, don't wait for the Sci Fi poll to end as there is still a fair bit to go in that.
