Who picked the 20 we have been told to vote from? Some very lazy choices.

And Billy Elliott? Pfui!

I voted for 8 1/2!

Where is this masterpiece to be found?!

I'd go for Losey's 'The Go-Between' I think

[vinteuil]

... and where is "The Big Country" ???

Just go to the Radio 3 website and there's a link on your right somewhere.

Ok, that would be here.

You're right though, the list is a bit dire!

I agree though, what a pathetic list.

(Snap, Russ, almost... )

[Ruhevoll]

At least Ennio Morricone is somewhere in there, though I prefer the operatic 'Once Upon A Time In The West' score.

[Nick Armstrong]

Out of that list, it's Bernard Hermann for me...

Which one though, Psycho or Vertigo? I prefer Vertigo (and indeed North by Northwest).

Taxi Driver. Wow. Talk about menacing music... what our French cousins call glauque - perfect for the film

[Nick Armstrong]

I plumped for Psycho after the music stood up very well on its own terms at the Prom.

glauque

Yes - great word and very current, oft heard among the younger element south of the Channel...

[johncorrigan]

For goodness sake, where's the Jungle Book?

glauque is a new word to me (definition?), but the Taxi Driver theme was believe it or not the incidental music played on Radio London's breakfast show many moons ago. (With a very young Fi Glover.)
