Just trying to be fair to the thread title or it might just as well be named vote for your favorite song or film or artist. Yes anyone can vote anyway they want to... I am just trying to respect the work that goes into deciding on a theme and organising the thread. That is my choice, but each to their own

I think you've taken me up the wrong way, everyone has different criteria for voting, but I doubt anyone is disrespecting the organisation of the tournament.

Anyone else find it a bit weird voting for another song because it fits the scene/film better than the one you might prefer listening too?

Thats been my strategy for the whole tournament, have voted against songs that are far superior in real life too because they have been used in sh!t films.

That's what I am doing too, cos if it's more recognizable from the film, then wouldn't it be considered the best 'movie song'?

That's another great way of looking at it, as the choices are going to be more difficult from here. Thanks

You don't have to do that... You've put those reasoning restraints on yourself buddy, vote whatever way you want, no one can

I was just voting for the song I like mostly, & only mentioning the movie as a second thought if needed:pac:

Yeah, absolute monsters voting against it. The Chain is the greatest song in the world, should've won the whole thing.

Hopefully we get some good reasons and chat for the last 8. Love seeing people struggle to make a choice!

Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) (The Breakfast Club) ; have always loved the song and the film which is why I nominated it, and its also been the ringtone on my phone for over 10 years, which means nothing, just thought it was a fun fact to throw in.

Eminem - Lose Yourself (8 Mile) ; great song that works great in the film, but also the absolute adoration Bruce gets around here annoys me in these tournaments to the points
that even if I like the song, I don't want to vote for him.

Sawduck

Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me - the better song and also the better movie, I nominated it and I have a feeling it was nominated by a few others too

Eminem - Lose Yourself (8 Mile) - it suits the movie so much, it's one of Eminems best songs

Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia (Philadelphia) - gotta stick with my nomination - I wouldn't be a huge Bruce fan but adore this song and the film.

Irish Aris

Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) (The Breakfast Club) - an absolute 80's classic
Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia (Philadelphia) - like both songs and I think both work great in the concept of the films, but on top of that Philadelphia is one of my most favourite films ever.

Ben E. King - Stand By Me (Stand By Me) - A great song from a great film, based on a great novel!
SteppenWolf - Born to be wild (Easy Rider) - not a big fan of the Rocky films
