Dances With Wolves - John Barry (1990) - I haven't heard The Final Conflict, so sorry there, Mr. Goldsmith.

 

GK, wouldn't it be a good idea to have the name of the current bracket that's being voted on in the title? just so people know when it's a new round.

 

Glory - James Horner (1989)

Revenge Of The Sith - John Williams (2005)

The Nightmare Before Christmas - Danny Elfman (1993) (This was EVIL. )

Conor, I typically list the matchups in the title bracket. Last night I just wanted to let folks know we have started voting.


Hal, aren't you going to vote?

 

Signs -- unfortunately Glory is my favorite of the nominated Horners, but can't choose it over Signs

Revenge of the Sith

Jaws

Dances with Wolves -- brutal for Goldsmith here

 

Signs
Revenge of the Sith
Jaws

Signs

ROTS

Jaws

The Final Conflict- Some people obviously have never listened to tracks such as The Hunt, The Ambassador and The Final Conflict.

 

Apparently I didn't think to abstain from voting against The Final Conflict, considering I've never heard it, so please disregard my vote for Dances With Wolves.

 

I think it's ok to vote for a score you really like over one you haven't heard - but this may be a good opportunity to check out scores you haven't experienced, either by watching the film itself, or giving the soundtrack a listen. At least sampling a bit of the score on iTunes or Amazon might give you an idea.

But for those who want to abstain, I understand.
