I've just recently went back to work at the theater for a couple of months (extra christmas money) and learned that they were playing Movietunes. I got ready to hear teen-pop . That's not what I heard. I heard The Greatful Dead's "A Touch Of Grey", two Mannhiem Steamroller christmas tracks, Circus De Sol, a track from Polar Express, Regis Filbern(sp) singing the standard "It Had To Be You" and others. I've found older shows and listened to them and heard two Seal tracks, Simply Red, Peter Paul & Mary, Wyonna Judd, The Eagles, Chicago, Gregory Jones, and other good tracks. Are ya'll getting different formats?

When we first started getting MovieTunes, the playlist was heavily skewed toward r&b-flavored pop -- basically, soul ballads, slow jam type of things. So they have improved the variety.
What sucks now is, the whole program is a series of train wrecks. Dissimilar musics crashing into one another, with bland Chris Stevens droning on between the songs. And occasionally they throw in a "medley" of songs, which is always horribly produced.
The whole idea of ASCAP and BMI requireing huge license fees for theatres, where the music really isn't a "performance" because the people aren't really "listening to" the music anyway, is stupid. If not for that crap, we wouldn't even have MovieTunes to kick around.
