[edit] Move to "List of"

I suggest the "Notable film score composers include" section be moved to its own page, something like List of notable film score composers. --Jūzeris ⇐ feedback appreciated 15:40, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Or, more appropriately, be merged into List of soundtrack composers. --Jūzeris ⇐ feedback appreciated 07:19, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of imaginary soundtracks

I've put together a List of imaginary soundtracks. feedback and additions welcome. The external link cited was used for a lot of the titles, as well as my personal collection.

I'm not sure if this is a legitimate 'musical genre' or not, hence created it in my userspace. It needs a more comprehensive intro/discussion before i'm comfortable entering it into wikipedia-proper. --Quiddity 21:56, 30 October 2005 (UTC) (updated Quiddity 22:35, 20 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] typographical suggestion

I suggest listing the composers alphabetically by last name first with the last name in boldface. It makes things easier to find. Jeffmatt

[edit] Bolding

Why are some of the composers bolded? Nationalparks 14:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Theoretically, they're the most notable/famous composers of film scores. -Quiddity 19:41, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

That's what I guessed. I removed all of that bolding, as per WP:NPOV. Nationalparks 20:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable film score composers

We really need to pick some kind of criteria for "Notability", and severely reduce the size of this list section, whilst moving all non-included names to the "List of" article. We also need to avoid this turning into a popularity contest, and a western-centric one too. (Ideally, the resulting list will eventually get rewritten into good prose.) --Quiddity 23:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] suggested criteria

• won at least 1 major industry award
• perhaps limit the number of entries to 15-20 (?)
• all others get moved to List of soundtrack composers

[edit] Classical music

Shouldn't there be a section on the use of classical music in movies on this page? Or does this already exist elsewhere?Lbark 20:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Something more than Film score#Orchestral soundtracks? --Quiddity 18:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
