Took a bit of time off, but we're back with the next installment of the Great Movie Theme Quiz! Greatness decided by me and me alone, so yeah...there's a Rabin in this one.

But first, answers and winner of the last quiz (spoiler alert, the winner is not a shocker haha):

1. Taras Bulba
2. Face/Off
3. Gattaca
4. Beverly Hills Cop
5. Pacific Rim
6. Patton
7. Star Wars: Episode 2 – Attack of the Clones
8. The Last Samurai
9. 25th Hour
10. Starship Troopers
11. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
12. The Way Back
13. The Lion in Winter
14. First Man
15. Avatar

The winner once again is simon_jd with a perfect 15/15 (though several of you got 14/15 so don't feel bad!). Simon, either you're A) really dang good at this, B) looking up half of this shit using the clues on Google :P or C) we have the EXACT same taste in music. Either way, congrats (I guess there is an option D) cheating, but I can't imagine anyone would care enough to cheat so I think you just plain have a really good ear. Or we're unexpectedly ScoreBFF's).

------------

Anyhoo, here's the latest quiz, let's see if anyone can dethrone the frequently-reigning-champ simon_jd! Come on Broxton, lace up those gloves and get back in the ring! Very very curious if anyone gets #4, especially without looking up the clue.

1. The Avengers
2. Solo
3. To Kill a Mockingbird
4. Sounds like Gustavo... Babel?
5. Men In Black
6. Fievel Goes West!
7. Dude how many Rabin scores are there that you haven't run out?
8. Schindler's List
9. I was going to guess The Other Boelyn Girl based on the hints but then I realized that had both of them. I'll just guess The Prestige.
10. Shaft!
11. The Hours
12. No idea, but who cares, got enough wrong that I'm sure Simon will pull ahead by this point.
13. Up (not the Cardi B song)
14. The Blue Max
15. Prince of Egypt

I think I can safely say that I will not win this round, but thank you for your faith in me.

14/15 for me. Only missed "The Way Back"... and used the trivia to figure out "25th Hour".

Alrighty.... I sayeth:

1. The Avengers (Silvestri)
2. (didn't get this one but looked at Vik's answer and... yeah, he's probably right. Sounds like Powell)
3. (Ditto this one... minus the Powell bit)
4. OK, I'm stumped. It sounds like a 2000's Serious Dark Drama but I'm not sure which one. The hint made me think of The Hurt Locker, Traffic, Babel, etc. but it's not registering as any of those... ah, what the heck. "Babel"
5. Men in Black (Elfman)
6. "Building the Town" from.... An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (Horner) (literally my childhood)
7. The 6th Day?
8. Schindler's List (Williams)
9. Girl with a Pearl Earring (Desplat)?
10. .... Shaft? (damn straight)
11. ... Umm, Nanny McPhee?
12.
13. Up (Giacchino)
14. The Blue Max (Goldsmith)
15. Prince of Egypt (Zimmer)

Ha! I think there is a lot of C and a fair dose of B. The clues incentivize me to figure them out, rather than just concede that I don't know it.
My taste it lots of Goldsmith, Williams, Herrmann, Waxman, Elfman, Bernstein, Shore, Giacchino, Powell, Silvestri, Korgold, Steiner, Westlake, Young of the Christopher, Mancini, Barry, Horner, Howardi, Poledouris, increasingly McCreary and all the Newmans. Not really into the RCP sound.

Ok, so here we go again:
1. Avengers, Silvestri - what a theme!
2. Solo, Powell - what's not to love
3. To Kill a Mockingbird, Bernstein - all time classic score
4. Lord of War, Pinto - ok, so had idea on this without the clue.
5. Men in Black - Elfman, this is my taste in '90s film score writ large.
6. An Amerivan Tail: Fievel Goes West, Horner (I only have the original score not this, but agian the clue made it possible).
7. Something something Rabin, so no idea. I do not share your Rabin taste.
8. Schindlers List, Williams
9. The Man Who Wasn't There, Burwell (I know this is not correct but this one has me stumped)
10. Shaft, Hayes
11. The Hours, Glass - only Philip Glass would dare arpeggiate like that for 3 hours and call it a film score.
12. The Battle at Lake Changjin, Leung, Li & Wang - If I get this write it is only because of the clue.
13. Up, Giacchino - see taste above.
14. The Blue Max, Goldsmith - all time classic score
15. The Prince of Egypt - Zimmer et al. When you believe that this is my taste, then you will get my terrible pun. Actually, I quite enjoy Hans in Lion King mode.

I’m only posting my answers this time because I’m not as embarrassed by them as I have been with the last couple of quizzes (which I didn’t have the balls to post my guesses, or lack of them, for ).
