It's just a thought.  |
Would make things more confusing and complicated. Keeping stuff simple would be the way to go.
IMDB serves as the base of all compilations. If both movies are listed under Romance, they go under Romance.

Rank #1 would go to the hairy, man-boobs of HDC's resident Viking.

I would suggest only the first three types be included because, a commercial song from a soundtrack (often a track from a regular commercial music album, as in the case of "Partytime"), is a rather separate entity from the film, sometimes only plays a couple seconds in the film, and sometimes is not heard in the film at all. I think any piece of music from a film really needs to be specifically bound to it.

Yes.

Confusion again. The Non-Horror Top 100 would be of films, not soundtracks.
------------------------
Here's my take - it would be sort of criminal to do the Movie Soundtracks without Neverending's inputs. Agreed that all of us could do it on our own and finish with a damn fine job, but that grumpster has been a part of all compilations till now, and I would rather have him aboard for this one. As it stands, I have started work on this so it stays postponed till he returns. What say?
Majority are in favor of the Non-Horror Top 100 so let's start on that. We start work tomorrow but be warned - choosing can be a tough ask. Better tighten those waist belts!
