I’m not going to say it’s a bad movie because I honestly can’t remember a single thing about the movie, the soundtrack though was awesome.
The Big Chill
First soundtrack I ever bought.
Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame. A travesty of movie and a waste of good source material. But the soundtrack is sublime. It’s one of my favorites out of all the Disney animated features.
No.1 has to be Judgment Night
It’s a movie that has not held up well. But I don’t think it was awful.
The soundtrack wasn’t just good, it was used about as effectively in the movie as any soundtrack ever.
XANADU- the soundtrack was the only good thing about it!
Last Action Hero had a nice soundtrack
This is incorrect, sir. That would be Olivia Wilde. In spandex.
The Crow sequels, City of Angels and Salvation both had pretty good soundtracks.
The original Crow soundtrack is excellent.
The soundtracks for all the Twilight movies had several songs I liked, though I never saw the movies.
For scores, I like the music for Mad City and finally watched the movie one day. I’m sticking with the music.
I was absolutely obsessed with The Crow when it came out. I thought it was such an amazing movie. I lived on that soundtrack, man!
I bought the Blu Ray a year or so ago and watched it. Holy cow what an awful movie! DAMN!
Soundtrack still kicks my ass, though. I’ll have to check out the others now, too.
The musical score from the terrible movie Dragonheart was used in soooooo many trailers.
Personally I have ‘soundtrack’ movies. There are plenty of movies that seem like it’s only function is to advertise a soundtrack collection of top forty hits. Some are decent movies like High Fidelity.
But most of John Huges films, if you haven’t figured it out by now The Breakfast Club is a terrible movie, fall into this category. Cameron Crow movies are soundtrack movies so Elizabethtown is a good choice.
Yes, if only just for Lisa Loeb’s “How”, beautifully haunting.
Toys had a great soundtrack.
Rocky was an okay movie, but I’m not going to watch it again any time soon. The Bill Conti soundtrack, on the other hand, is something I listen to at least a few times a year.
What, no conflicted love/hate for Absolute Beginners or Ford Fairlane?
I know I have a minority opinion, but I actually liked that movie.
I echo the choice of Flash Gordon. Note that whenever it is mentioned on the Dope the Queen soundtrack is mentioned, nothing else. Hell, the writer thought the movie was crap, given that the production designer didn’t read English and so had no idea of what was going on in the script.
But good music.
The soundtrack from 1999’s Ravenous.
Boyd’s Journey (Don’t give up before 30 seconds…)
It was composed by Damen Albarn of Blur/The Gorillaz and classical/minimalist composer Michael Nyman. It’s very weird - in a good way, IMO. It works with the strange subject matter of the movie (a dark comedy about cannibalism and immortality in the American West in the 1840s). I personally like the movie, but the box office numbers think it’s pretty bad.
Yeah, both were cheesy fun (not bad) however the soundtracks were fabulous.
I second the original “Casino Royale”, but again- cheesy fun, not actually a bad film.
My nomination for difference between soundtrack and score is Men In Black- the Soundtrack had the theme song by Will Smith, the great Danny Elfman title music, and a bunch of hip-hop popular music that had little or nothing to do with the film at all.
Buffalo '66. Not a very good movie, but a very cool soundtrack.
