Wild card: not in the list, no one's mentioned this anywhere that I've seen, indeed no one that I've seen has mentioned Victor Young at all ... but

Scaramouche - Victor Young

is wonderful

Does he do the Fandango?

[Nick Armstrong]

Does he do the Fandango?

Dreadful film with Stewart Granger, the music's much better heard separately...

[BBMmk2]

No Brassed Off?

[Stanley Stewart]

Erm, Cali, I included Victor Young's "Shane" in my original list of 10 recommendations and will repeat it in my final vote!

Thanks for those who've contributed so far. I think including me that's 18. Where a few of you have mentioned favourites not on the list I've added them to the voting spreadsheet (I can't believe I missed High Noon off!). I think we'll need at least 50+ of you to vote to make this worthwhile and have at least a clear top 10. So please keep your votes coming folks!
