@Hayden, is there a time tomorrow you want to get the lists/votes in? I don't know that I'll be watching any more movies between now and then but I have to think about my list a little more.

Alright, I'm stuck at 9 for my original film scores for the decade and would like to at least do a top 10, so I'll ask. Are we allowing non-instrumental albums like Prince's two original film soundtracks from the 80s or The Muppets in their takeover of Manhattan? Or just more instrumental score stuff, a la John Williams? All good either way.

A Variety of Artists

Are concert films not allowed? If so that will either make the list more difficult- or potentially easier? Anyways should get the list in the morning, wanted to squeeze in a couple of last films (especially Peaux de Vaches, but can't find a decent stream anywhere and probably wouldn';t do much on the small screen anyhoos), but think it's pretty much settled beyond the concert film quandry (are we getting no Prince on our 80s list )


Also great list KitchenSink, apparently when you divide 100 by zero you get movie magic ^_^
