The Amphitheatre's 100 Best Movie Songs: The Maybe List

I would say 7, 9 & 10.

 

1,5,6,9

 

Oh, good, consensus.

 

Consensus, indeed.

Since all three of us agree on none, none will be added.

Next 10:

11. ?Big Bottom?
12. ?Blame Canada?
13. ?Bohemian Rapsody?
14. ?(See What) The Boys in the Back Room (Will Have)?
15. "Born to Be Wild"
16. ?Buffalo Gal (Won?t You Come Out Tonight)?
17. "Cabaret"
18. ?Call Me Irresponsible?
19. ?Camelot? (the Monty Python version)
20. ?Circle of Life?

Of this lot, I'd like to keep only 19.

 

I'm going with 15, 19, 20

By the way, I'm only choosing from ones I've heard. If I don't pick it, I'm not saying it's bad, I just can't judge its quality.

EDIT: Maybe we should say if the majority agree?

 

11, 17, 19.

So, looks like Camelot stays anyway! We have achieved something here!

clap clap clap

 

No, no, Banal, it's clink...clink...clink...

 

Okay, I altered the voting. If a majority votes to keep the song, it stays--for now.

So from the first ten the following songs stay:

1. ?Ain't Too Proud to Beg"
5. "America"
6. ?Anything Goes?
7. ?Baby, It?s Cold Outside?
9. ?Be Our Guest?

From the second ten, only "Camelot" from "Monty Python & the Holy Grail" stays.

And the third ten:

21. "Coal Miner's Daughter"
22. "Come What May"
23. ?Comedy Tonight?
24. ?Crazy?
25. ?Day-O?
26. ?Dear Mr. Gable (You Made Me Love You)?
27. ?Deep in the Heart of Texas?
28. "Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance?)"
29. ?Don?t Fence Me In?
30. "(Don't You) Forget About Me"

Of these, I would keep 23. 24. 25. and 28.

 

22, 24, 25.

 

We need Banal to break the tie...

 

Next from the Maybe List:

31. "Down to the River to Pray."
32. "Duettino Sull'Aria"
33. ?Easter Parade?
34. "Everybody's Talkin'"
35. "Everything's Coming Up Roses"
36. "Fight the Power"
37. "For All We Know"
38. "For Me and My Gal"
39. "Frankie and Johnny"
40. "Friend Like Me"


33. and 40.

 

34 and 40

 

So...we are keeping "Day-0" and "Crazy" from the third 10, and "Friend Like Me" from the forth.

 

Next:

41. "Give My Regards to Broadway"
42. "Goldfinger"
43. "Good Morning"
44. "Hey There"
45. "High Hopes"
46. "High Noon"
47. ?Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo"
48. "Hooray for Hollywood"
49. "I Am A Man of Constant Sorrows"
50. "I Enjoy Being a Girl"

Of these...48.

 

46 and 49 are the ones I'd keep.

 

No consensus, so no keeping of any of the last 10.

Next 10:

51. "I Fall In Love Too Easily"
52. "I Say a Little Prayer"
53. "I Will Always Love You"
54. "If I Were a Rich Man"
55. "If My Friends Could See Me Now"
56. "If You Leave"
57. "I'll Fly Away"
58. "I'll Stop the World and Melt With You"
59. "I'm a Believer"
60. ?I?m Alright?

52 & 59

 

Wait, so you aren't keeping "Goldfinger"? Or "I am a Man of Constant Sorrow"? Bah!

I agree with your assessment for this 10, though, Zaz.

 

57 & 59

 

Okay, "I Say a Little Prayer" and "I'm A Believer" make the list.

Next ten possibles:

61. "In Dreams"
62. "In Your Eyes"
63. "Into the Groove"
64. "It Might As Well Be Spring"
65. "It's Magic"
66. "I've Got You Under My Skin"
67. "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face"
68. "Jeepers Creepers"
69. ?La Mamma Morta"
70. "The Last Time I Saw Paris"

61, 64, 65 & 70

"In Dreams" is Roy Orbison being brilliant. I like 64 because it's one of the few standards Rogers and Hammerstein wrote directly for the screen (from "State Fair"). I've hear several good versions of "It's Magic" and "The Last Time I Saw Paris" is frankly a maybe.

 

I just saw My Fair Lady last week because I wanted to see how "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" fit into it. It's a beautiful song. A version of it was also used on the first TV appearance of Jim Henson's muppets IIRC.

 

61, definitely. Orbison's performance is one of the best in all music and the usage in the film was brilliant as well.

And I say 69, a great scene from Philadelphia with Hanks explaining the opera to Washington.

 

"In Dreams" goes on the list. (Sorry, somethingfamiliar, have to have a majority of votes for listdom)

Next group:

71. "Lean on Me"
72. "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms"
73. ?Little Green Bag?
74. "Luck Be a Lady"
75. "Makin' Whoopee"
76. ?Meet the Flintstones?
77. ?Miss Misery?
78. ?Mr. Cellophane?
79. "Mrs. Robinson"
80. "Mona Lisa"
81. "More Than a Woman"
82. "My Heart Will Go On"
83."My Mammy"

Oh, some good ones here. 72, 73, 75, 78, 80

I love "Little Green Bag"

 

72. "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms"
77. ?Miss Misery?
78. ?Mr. Cellophane?
79. "Mrs. Robinson"

 

Rather have "The Sounds of Silence" than "Mrs. Robinson"
