Oh man, you're killing me. I finally get here right as one of these is posted, and the links ain't working.

Oh good, they work now. Of course, I haven't the slightest. The second one sounds Sirk-like, but it could be Scary Movie 4 for all I know.

Can I make a request? Perhaps some random ones from post-1975ish? You can make it a sample of any part of the score, not just the main title, to make it more difficult.

Is the first one The Night of the Hunter? only guessing since it was in the news lately with the behind the scenes clips coming out.

First one is early 40s Warner Brothers-- the flourish at the beginning is the WB intro. Score is almost certainly Steiner, it's full of little motifs for different characters. A little spooky, probably female-- I'm thinking a Bette Davis vehicle maybe? The Letter? Now, Voyager? Mildred Pierce?

The second one-- "Quilty?"

The first one reminds me of a film with an intro showing the advance and/or preparation for war and one of those maps showing a plane traveling across a globe, or something Noirish. It can't possibly be something famous, but that is the vibe I am thinking. It seems so familiar.

First one "Key Largo" ?

Second, of course, "Lolita".

And don't listen to the fan boys that call any movie pre-Star Wars "old-timey"...

Walter, that is hilarious on the first, because I was really thinking Bogart in Casablanca but NOT Casablance, or something noir, and Key Largo is Bogart plus a little bit noir. I hope that is it. It feels like something I have actually seen.

Mgmax says ...

Key Largo's Steiner too, so could be. Probably a more likely film for Jeff to have sitting around to record the intro from than Mildred Pierce, too.

"MALTESE FALCON" and "LOLITA"

Mgmax says ...

Yeah, it's Maltese Falcon.

The score is by Adolph Deutsch-- but Steiner was music director at Warners then, so no surprise it sounds a bit like the boss's work.

I knew it was Bogart. Damn it. The credits aren't on You Tube, but the trailer is.

So what were they?

Speaking of Lolita, it seems to me there's a fascinating documentary or movie to be made about the life of Sue Lyon:

Five marriages, five divorces. ... A fascinating collection of life experiences.

Definitely Lolita on that second one. Love it.

My god, Jeffrey spends so much time at the movies he doesn't have to rent a rain coat with the pockets cut out. They have one there with his name embroidered on the sleeve.

The nike air force ones would even have numerous refreshed editions which achieves almost a total of 800 million dollars annually as a revenue account. Our team here in BAK even mentioned once in our postings that Nelly even added something exciting to it by coming up with a song called the Air Force Ones as an expression of his love for the iconic product. Nelly, as a leading hip hop sensation made an amazing influence to the overall popularity standing of the Nike shoe model.
