I have a suggestion:
How about you are simply asking for submissions? Like, everyone who wants can submit their favourite score pieces (no limit on how many). This way, you are basically filtering out the less memorable ones from the get go. And maybe you can limit each movie to three scores for the countdown - if more than three are submitted, you either do an isolated poll to determine the top three, or you go with whatever got submitted the most often.
I would exclude scores which are based on songs, though. And here is my reasoning: We tend to remember songs easier since they have the text as additional tool to forge a connection. It would therefore be unfair to run song-based score pieces against scores which have to shine all on their own. This should be about the scores we remember despite them not being connected to any words.
