Number Ten Is Cruel

So, did you have fun with my wonderfully wonderful blind test? I certainly hope so sirs and madams, and here for your perusal is a comprehensive list of answers. Which ones baffled and confused you? Which was the one that you knew you knew but you just couldn't think of? How many Danny Elfman tracks did you get the wrong way around because they're really all the same song in disguise? How long did you spend looking for a track from V for Vendetta even though I promised you it wasn't a clue?

Yes, number ten is exceedingly obscure and unfair. Sue me, but go and watch the film first because it's beautiful.

Answers after the jump.

The Movie Music Blind Test

This is not a clue. I promise.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, film lovers and haters, young and old, and you there at the back who seems to have wandered in on your way to the snooker club, it's finally time for the big Movie Blind Test!

The Blind Test is exactly like it sounds, it's a test, that's blind. I'm going to supply you lovelies with 101 sound clips, each under 30 seconds long and each from a film (or two). Here's the kicker, I'm not going to tell you which film(s) they're from. That's for you to figure out. Some of them are instantly recognisable to even the most uninitiated film viewer, one or two of them are so obscure you'll be chewing on your own hat before you figure out what they are.

I would say if you get half, you're doing OK. I'm going to include the answers in a future post, but if you're really going nuts, leave a comment and I'll send you a list of all 101 tracks. Don't spoil it for yourself though, the frustration is half the fun.

Anyway, here's the tasty lot of them in [.zip format] or [.rar format].
