| | Posted: | | | | What I don't understand is that given the importance of music to many if not most movies and TV shows, why we wouldn't WANT to track who wrote the theme and/or additional music -- regardless of whether or not it is original to the program. In a lot of cases that non-original music is an integral part of the programming and as important as the dialog.
I know what the Rules say. I'm just confused about why there is a distinction between original and non-orginal music. The only reason I can see for this is that for some pictures (American Graffitti, for example) would have quite a lengthy list of songs that weren't written for the movie. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | I think you've got it in a nutshell there - if we include non-original music we'll have the Mozart and Beethoven credits straight back in the database!
Maybe it would be nice if a note was added to the rules stating that "original music" included anything written for the franchise, so we could include stuff like David Arnold's theme for Stargate but keep all the non-original songs out. |

| | Posted: | | | | Frankly, what's wrong with having the Mozart and Beethoven back in the database? It's in the score. "Original" music is kind of an odd thing to have as the dividing line, since it's commonly pretty difficult to determine what's original and what's not. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |
