That soundtrack defined my teenage years.

  2. Thank God It’s Friday

Awful film with songs by Diana Ross, Cameo, and The Commodores, plus 3 from Donna Summer.

  3. Blues Brothers 2000

A lame, pale imitation of the original, but with terrific music and many fantastic guest performers.

  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.

  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.

Another forgettable movie from the 70s. I can’t remember what the plot was. But it had a great soundtrack, with lots of hits of the time and a nice title song by Steely Dan.
