Forrest Gump vs. The Shining is brutal for a poster of a certain age. Yikes.
Disagree completely. I love the piano notes in the Gump theme from the opening to the end.

Inception vs On the Nature of Daylight is an impossible decision.
Same for Dark Knight vs Star Trek TMP.
BRUTAL block. Some great themes going down here.
I was gonna swallow a jagged pill and vote Rudy until the theme took several minutes to get to the good part.
Hans Zimmer, goat.
Edit: I guess Hans and John Williams co-goats.
I went with Inception, mostly because On the Nature of Daylight was a great song long before it got used in Shutter Island (and then also Arrival).
holy shit this block is brutal
What if I voted Cinema Paradiso because LotR the movie annoys me? Should I take it back?
I didn’t vote on block 3, so if you’re looking for a tiebreaker, I vote for The Shining.
Having missed the vote this round, but being the one in charge of the bracket, I nominate myself to be the one to cast the deciding vote in this tie, in this case, for The Shining.
Oh, that’s not an original theme? Guess I gotta change my vote.
