Welcome to Boardsies Greatest Song from the Movies.

We all love good movies, and what can make a movie even better, a good soundtrack or signature song.

So, lets decide what really is the greatest song from the movies.

Your nominations can be songs which...

are played during the movies including opening and closing titles
appear on the official movie soundtrack album
have footage of the movie in their official promo video.

Bassically, any song associated with a movie.

Please nominate up to 15 songs

The whole LOTR soundtrack.

Tournament over.

Irish Aris · 29-09-2020 1:15pm

I'm definitely in!!

Kolido, will you leave nominations open until early next week? I want to consult my lists but on holidays at the moment and back in Ireland next week

Nedington · 29-09-2020 1:18pm

Time - inception

Sawduck · 29-09-2020 2:09pm

Are you looking for songs that were written for a movie or any song that has ever been used in a movie, even if it was written years before the movie was made?

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 29-09-2020 2:23pm

Noms in. All done.

ArnoldJRimmer · 29-09-2020 2:35pm

All of the above.

Great I’m in- will you give me a big obstinate reminder PM if close to cut off day? I’m likely to forget

How do I narrow down The Greatest Showman soundtrack, I have it on repeat, love Wolverine singing

Kolido · 29-09-2020 7:59pm

I got to weed out some duplicates but we have over 100 songs so far. I don't plan on running another 300+ this time

I'm a huge fan of David Fincher who's made great use of some class rock tunes that fit the theme of his movies. The end of Fight Club, which features The Pixies "Where Is My Mind" playing as Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter stand watching the city explode around them is one. The ending of The Social Network is another - The Beatles Baby, You're a Rich Man playing as Jess Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg character sits at his laptop desperately refreshing Facebook in the hope of finding his ex. I'm a big Beatles fan but had never come across that song before.

Arse, only realising now I had to PM nominations. Chances are my two tunes were nominated anyway.

Trent Reznor involved in few Fincher soundtracks

ta Kolido !

15 songs PM'd.

I have made a prediction about what the top 3 will be as well.... (Let's see if I'm clued in... or clueless!!!)

Kolido · 30-09-2020 8:44am

Thanks for the nominations so far. We have already 134 songs. A lot I have never heard and a lot of what I would call obvious missing.

Plenty of time for nominations still.

Hahahaha, I will share with you Liz!!

I have already decided which song I will select from that soundtrack -

hint: not one of the Wolverine singing

30-09-2020 6:14pm

Is it one nomination per show? also do you rank in order of preference or is it simply number of votes received per song?

PM gone in, I could have submitted 50 not 15

Spook_ie · 01-10-2020 2:07am

Like wise getting it down to 15 near (Mission) Impossible :cool:

Anyways to keep it more on theme rather than going for all the great soundtracks
like Guardians of the Galaxy etc. I tried to stick with the theme songs. So expecting most of them to fall at the first match.

Can we see if there's anyway to allow listening to the nominations without having to rush a vote in? But whatever way you decide to go I'll still be in trying to vote

Irish Aris · 01-10-2020 11:00am

And nominations sent. Indeed it was very difficult to select only 15.
I left a couple of very obvious choices out (trusting that someone else would nominate them) and I have a couple of rather unknown songs in my nominations that I think they deserve to be heard a bit more.

Thank you very much for organising Kolido. As a big film fan I'm really looking forward to the competition!!

I will see what can be done, I agree the last contest was very rushed for the qualifiers.

We have now 213 noms

Maybe something like "voting opens in 10/20 mins"?

Could be another record

Electric Nitwit · 02-10-2020 1:02pm

15 more winging their way to you. A few will be duplicates I'm sure, but they had to be included. I threw in a few more leftfield ones too

Yeah I missed most of the qualifiers it was so fast, I think some people see a tune they like or one of their noms and vote for it straight away without listening to the others.
There were lots of good uns that went out without a single vote.
