Probably Daniel Bryan.
Need an entirely separate bracket for blacksploitation movie themes.

Next we’ll also have a bracket for porn themes. The budgets are going up up up.

All entries should be in the spreadsheet.
We’ve got a healthy 169 submissions with just a few being challenged as potentially not being themes.
Hyped to get to voting.

Thanks Risky.
I was trying to keep an updated list itt, but the 100 entries that came in Mon morning was schedule averse for me.

I think the flagged songs are all pretty clearly not themes (even if they are good songs that may even be original to the movie they’re from), and I think we should limit the field to 128 songs.
I also think what we did for the TV themes to cull the herd worked pretty well, but could be improved upon. So, here’s what I propose. If at least two people think a song that’s currently flagged as a non-theme should be included, we’ll put it to a vote. If at least two people think that a theme that’s currently out of the top 128 deserves a spot, we’ll put it to a vote against the lowest ranked song that hasn’t already won a challenge. And if at least two people think a song with enough YouTube views to put it in the top 32 is nevertheless trash and should be excluded entirely, we’ll put it up against the highest ranked song currently out of contention that hasn’t already lost a challenge.
Most songs have already undergone some discussion if there was any doubt about including them. Therefore my suggestion is to go ahead and put any songs that are in question to a vote.
Did this get nominated?

Yes it did, as was the theme to Quantum of Solace
But no skyfall or anything from the OG era? Surprising

Just had a brief look and it seems like the Once Upon a Time in the West theme nominated in the above post hasn’t been included in the spreadsheet. It’s arguably Morricone’s greatest theme.
Edit: Also, Miles Davis’ Elevator to the Gallows looks to have a dual entry.
Yeah, if those are the only two Bond themes in, that’s really odd. These 3 should be in for sure:

Not for inclusion, but I always liked Monty Python’s Bond theme:
This Bond talk reminded me that the greatest Bond movie of all time has a great theme.
I slipped it into the spreadsheet. I can’t tell if nominations have closed. If they have, obviously feel free to zap it.

I’ve gone ahead and deleted the dual entry, and added Once Upon a Time in the West at the bottom for ease of removal.
I thought Live and Let Die was in? The horn riff is used throughout the movie isn’t it?
