BTW, I'll mention my other favourites after all the nominations are placed, as people might abstain from nominating them if I did it earlier.

^^^ Meltdowner, I opted not to allow video games this round. I think that would be worthy of its own round.

^ Raff, I'm looking forward, or should I say listening forward, to hearing ones that I know. I'm hoping for some nostalgic "feelies" in this poll. Knownness won't discourage me from voting for a choice this round.

I've already thought about a few tracks, though they may be rather well-known. Even though I've seen my share of movies in my lifetime, I wouldn't call myself a big movie buff, so my selection may be somewhat limited.

Another entry from some of my favorites, this one moves away from the orchestral aspect to the pop genre, but it's one song that has stuck with me over the years.  For your consideration, another alternative choice:

Anyway, in order that you can be flexible, I wanna ask if I can nominate a soundtrack of a computer game. I'll not go so far as to insist on this, but the soundtrack I'm thinking of nominating is off a computer game which is pretty much like a movie. Real Swedish actors acted in it and it is composed of real full motion videos. Nor is this all, I'm not only talking about the cinematics and such, the whole game has this characteristic, throughout. Lastly, this poll seems like my only chance to include this piece, as I don't see a poll about game OST's coming here.  Anyway, let me share the video I was thinking of nominating so that you can decide whether to accept it or not. Not a big deal, feel free to decide on either. ... </span>

I'd like to be as flexible as a contortionist. While that won't happen, I would still like to be flexible. I like the idea of including game soundtrack music. It's TV show soundtracks that I specifically planned not to include due to a former conversation. On second thought, I would rather focus specifically on movie soundtracks this round. I do love the idea of game soundtracks, lots I love there too, and perhaps we could have that as its very own round. I do think it might confuse some people excluding TV show soundtracks, but allowing other non-movie medium, such as games, soundtracks. My rules will confuse some as it is. So to be clear, I wish to exclude non-movie soundtracks from this round.

Alright, now that game soundtracks are not allowed (which is perfectly understandable and OK for me), here are my sharings.

This is my nomination:

Tan Dun - "Farewell" - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon OST



Alternative 1:

Danny Elfman - "The Batman Theme" - Batman OST



Alternative 2:

Basil Poledouris - "Prologue/Anvil of Crom" - Conan the Barbarian OST



The one below is not a nomination, nor is it an alternative. I'm just not deleting it because Logan quoted my writings, and I'm keeping it lest that might cause confusion otherwise.

^ While I leave it up to the discretion of the individual, I suggested that familiarity should or need not breed exclusion. At least it won't for me.

"6. For this round, while it is up to each person's discretion, I would suggest not discounting a musical piece just because you feel you already knew it too well. An interesting thing with much soundtrack music is that much of that pleasure can relate to how much we enjoyed the film. I expect that some of the choices will make people feel nostalgic. Vote with you heart, your mind, your body or with whatever parts of your anatomy you would incorporate in the process."

^^ Good one!

I had intended to specify that only film soundtracks are allowed; will edit accordingly.
