EDIT: WHY IS BOLD NOT WORKING!?!?!?

Indiana Jones vs. Gremlins - Super easy one

Requiem for a Dream vs Ghostbusters - FUCK, this is the worst one. Requiem is the greatest trailer music ever, as seen in LOTR Two Towers, but Ghostbusters is too much a classic. Look at all those 80s stars

Halloween vs Aliens - Greatest horror movie theme

Pirates of the Carribean vs The Lion King - I love the Pirates theme but Lion King means to much to me.

Empire Strikes Back vs Glory - Duh

The Natural vs Spirted Away

ET vs Bram Stoker's Dracula - Easy

Braveheart vs Homeward Bound - NOOOOO, damn Braveheart is so good but Homeward Bound makes me want to cry, lol.

James Bond vs Rudy - Rudy is another song in every trailer but hes against Bond, James Bond

The Great Escape vs Robocop

Jurassic Park vs Bridge on the River Kwai

Beverly Hills Cop vs Top Gun - Bruckheimer showdown! Wow two great themes but Beverly Hills is too iconic.

Jaws vs Last Samurai

Excalibur vs Titanic - EPIC!!!! Does it get more powerful than excalibur.

Rocky vs Predator (This would make an awesome movie)

2001 Space Oddessy vs Gladiator - You know what, fuck 2001

I actually don't think 2001 A Space Odyssey or Excalibur should count.  Those aren't original scores, but simply preexisting classical music.

Yeah I just put some movies in, sort of ranked them then let the computer figure the brackets and that is what came out.  Some matchups are a heartbreak.

Braveheart just so happens to be on TV, there is a scene where a young Wallace is watching is father being buried. I paid no attention, then the theme started playing, I immediately looked up at the screen. The scene meaning so much more now that the Braveheart theme was playing, so emotional. These themes can make or break a scene, a movie even.

SO VOTE.

Why is everyone highlighting text? Is bold only working for me?
