**Mediocre films with an arguably better soundtrack** 1. _Batman Forever_ 2. _Thank God It’s Friday_ Awful film with songs by Diana Ross, Cameo, and The Commodores, plus 3 from Donna Summer. ---

**Mediocre films with an arguably better soundtrack** 1. _Batman Forever_ 2. _Thank God It’s Friday_ 3. _Blues Brothers 2000_ 4. _Singles_ I see this movie on a bunch of lists now but I don’t remember Singles as being all that bad but I haven’t watched it since it was on HBO while I was in college. It has some really good 90s tunes on the soundtrack though. ---

**Mediocre films with an arguably better soundtrack** 1. _Batman Forever_ 2. _Thank God It’s Friday_ 3. _Blues Brothers 2000_ 4. _Singles_ 5. _Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace_ Turgid, silly, disappointing film, but John Williams was on the top of his game, and the soundtrack won a Grammy Award. ---
