Soundtrack
What's up with the soundtrack section - a little too detailed, no? Rogwan (talk) 21:49, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree. I think a link to the yahoo article is quite enough. Leav (talk) 16:38, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I am frankly impressed by the amount of work involved in compiling that list.
 * I believe I will footnote the timings as too precise, and then see how the rest looks.

 * With due respect for the work involved in creating the list, it is far too much detail for a movie soundtrack. Phiwum (talk) 14:42, 20 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Given the general opinion here, and concerns about trivia and original research, I've removed the Soundtrack section from the article. Anyone curious can still find it in the history. Robofish (talk) 13:28, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
