(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules

1. You may vote up to 4 entries that fit the prompt.
2. No alts.
3. No deleting or editing posts; though, editing posts shortly after you post is fine.
4. If you change your vote, clearly indicate that you are changing a previous vote. Same for adding or subtracting picks.
5. In general, if there are two picks that can be considered the same product (i.e. Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle), I will combine them.
6. If a vote is vague, I will pick the first available choice that best matches the vote (i.e. "Mario" for Wii Games becomes Super Mario Galaxy).
7. I will post the parameters of each Rushmore topic. Other than that, feel free to vote however you like and based on any criteria that best fits the "Mount Rushmore" of that topic.
8. If a vote doesn't fit the topic, it will count as a blank vote.
9. You may nominate as much as you want and have an unlimited amount of seconds for established nominations.
10. Every Sunday, I'll post the schedule for next week. I will pick based on the number of nominations. Any ties will be determined by RNG.

Congratulations to Wizard of Oz and Frozen for winning again. Wizard of Oz in general has just been doing amazing in this intersection of movie and music.

Singin' in the Rain naturally gets in, as it was already a contender for "Songs in Movies." The last spot was a close battle between Grease, Muppets, and Sound of Music, but Grease takes it. I always associated Summer Nights with that movie!

Are we talking about influential while VP or just VPs in general? Because those are different lists since the latter is mostly just VPs who eventually became president.

John C. Calhoun
Hannibal Hamlin
Adlai Stephenson
Al Gore

I personally excluded those who eventually became president. I think these are the four most well known on their own.

I try not to put strong parameters, but my list will focus on VPs as their time as VP.

Dick Cheney
Al Gore
Walter Mondale
Henry Wallace

Andrew Johnson
Chester Arthur
Theodore Roosevelt
Lyndon Johnson

John Adams
Harry Truman
Theodore Roosevelt
Walter Mondale

feel like excluding people for being president later is silly, especially Adams who really set the bar on what the position does as he was the first and did a lot of involvement presiding over the Senate

John Adams
John Tyler
Richard Nixon
Al Gore

John Adams
Walter Mondale
Lyndon B Johnson
Kamala Harris

Teddy is on regular Mt. Rushmore, so I wouldn't put him on the VP one too. Kamala broke the most ties.

John Adams
Kamala Harris
Al Gore
Theodore Roosevelt

John Adams
Thomas Jefferson
Theodore Roosevelt
Kamala Harris

John Adams
George Clinton
John C. Calhoun
Dick Cheney

G Ford
T Roosevelt
HW Bush
C Coolidge

excluding individuals who would later become presidents themselves

Aaron Burr
John C. Calhoun
Spiro Agnew
Dick Cheney

Aaron Burr
Thomas Jefferson
Teddy Roosevelt
John Adams

Aaron Burr
Hannibal Hamlin
Walter Mondale
Al Gore

John Adams
Walter Mondale
Al Gore

Drop: Henry Wallace
Add: John Adams
