This is a bit like what would have happened if Code had run the Greatest Bands tournament  - "Nobody can vote for A-Ha, because they are so clearly superior to everyone else".

Apart from the fact I did not nominate A-Ha, you might have a point.

You aren't choosing the entire catalog - just one movie. Which individual Rocky film has a soundtrack to match some of the others on here already?

 

The Eye of the Tiger film?

 

Rocky Horror Picture Show is better.

Don't get the rules then, half of submissions are not eligible. Rocky probably wouldn't be either. For example, is Ry Cooder's Paris Texas soundtrack eligible? It is a score, but it has a song. Or just collections of songs from various artists?

I missed the bit where you started the tournament?

The rules are pretty easy to understand, not sure how it could be difficult to understand at all. 

Best thing all of you have ever said

Rocky needs to come back into play, one film at a time. 

 

The soundtrack to the original film is very good and a contender for the final; but it certainly doesn’t tower over the field the way Aretha or The Beatles do. The rest of the Rocky films only have one recognisable tune between them and that's a bit shit. 

Rocky is out full stop

Yes, I’d been pondering this over a cheese salad sandwich myself.

 

Walk The Line, in particular, would do well in this tournament but it opens the door to the Elton John, Freddie Mercury vehicles. Vastly inferior movies but decent soundtracks. There’s also that Bruce Springsteen one which is an average, at best, film but has some ‘Boss’ music.

 

There’s even that one about the guy who claims to write all The Beatles songs after the world forgets them but nobody likes them anyway so no issue there.

No skin off my nose, because I wouldn’t vote for it and I can't see it getting past the Quarter-Finals.  I'm just baffled by the rationale for excluding it.

Musicals count of course but negged for picking 6 

Talk about reading the post! 

I thought I was helping as at the time there was a question mark if musicals were allowed so my 6th nomination was only in case musicals were not allowed.  Thought that was better than naming five only to have one disallowed thus possibly disallowing all of them and having to clarify and start again.

Anyway, cos I named six, do I need to name my five again now the musicals question has been answered?

I don’t own any film soundtracks. I own The Wall but don’t consider it to be a soundtrack.
 

Bit of a boring category for me this one, I’ll probably sit it out.

Ha ha. I’m happy to participate, but would have preferred best/favourite films of the 60s, 70s, etc.

The original Rocky soundtrack is boss, before cheesy, shitty 80s corporate pop-rock got involved.

Well that's fine cos I want to change one of my nominations anyway.  Also fine with not fingerbanging Penelope Cruz, Mook can have her.

Should be short and sweet, pick your top 5. Depending on interest I'll either do top 16 or top 32. (Rocky Soundtrack is out because it will win and its too broad across the films) 

 

 

Who in the name of Dickens would vote for Rocky? Although I've never seen the films I'd imagine it's Eye of the Tiger unless there's some decent tracks throughout the films? If so I I'll take that back.
