Best answer. Got motherfuckin Daft Punk for that movie. Have never rewatched the movie but listened to the soundtrack hundreds of times

[–] MrNobody 4 points 1 year ago

Reconfigured version goes off, but the normal version is still so much better than the movie. I didnt hate the movie but I too haven't rewatched it.

Great answer. I still like the beginning where he parachutes.

I found Requiem for a dream boring and depressing but the main soundtrack is pretty good.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

It's SO boring.

Tenacious D's Pick of Destiny

I knew the soundtrack by heart before I ever stepped into the cinema so it was never gonna live up to the hype but goddamn.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The movie wasn't terrible, just a regular stoner movie, but the soundstrack was indeed leagues better than the movie. It's hard to match perfection though.

[–] imaqtpie 1 points 1 year ago

If tenacious D is perfection then I've been aspiring to all the wrong things. Dang

Judgement Night. A decidedly milquetoast movie but holy shit that soundtrack was nothing but bangers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Formative years memory activated. I must have had that soundtrack on repeat for months when it was released. Movie was awful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for the recommendation.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

All of the American Pie sequels. The first was alright, the rest were meh.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not sure if soundtrack === score here but I really enjoyed :

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Pirates of the Caribbean 3

Angels and Demons

Star Trek : Into Darkness

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

St Elmo’s Fire. I only watched it because of the catchy β€œfull eighties” title track and discovered that said title track totally outclassed the movie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The Crow. Movie was just so cheesy, but the soundtrack is just some of the best alternative songs from the time. A lot of original songs made for the soundtrack too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Thor: Love and Thunder

[–] FullFridge 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Drive.

Ryan Gosling plays the main character but is completely emotionless. It's actually so bad it's funny. The soundtrack is great though

Is this another (real human) bean meme?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Godzilla (1998) soundtrack, with that Come With Me song by Puff Daddy, along with many other bangers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Black Adam was kinda mid, but boy did it have such awesome music. I encourage you to listen to "Teth-Adam" and "The Justice Society Theme".

judgement night and spawn.

My mom had this soundtrack that she listened to all the time. Definitely listened to it more than I saw the movie

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think Watchmen probably qualifies here.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

But it wasn't a bad movie. Maybe not the absolute peak of cinema, but it's no where near "terrible". They did a lot of things very right. Rorschach, for example, was absolutely perfect. Exactly like the graphic novel.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That was a decent movie imo. I know it's subjective, but I thought people liked it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

first Blade movie

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Mallrats. And the director's commentary is good too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Kikujiro, 100%. Beautiful soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi so I blindly watched the movie with a friend. It made no sense (maybe cultural differences? lmao) and left us wondering "WTF" after the random child molestation scene which I think happened near the beginning. Maybe the movie is okay and we brought this upon ourselves by watching it with no context, but man, it was nothing like the music.

I really liked the sequel, Baby Driver, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

More like it was Meh... Fireworks (Uchiage Hanabi, Shita kara Miru ka? Yoko kara Miru ka?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think it depends on the definition of terrible. The first movie that sprang to mind when I read the question was Maximum Overdrive. A movie that I think most people consider pretty terrible although it's always been a guilty pleasure of mine and I think the AC/DC soundtrack plays a huge part of that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Did anyone mention Last Action Hero yet? The soundtrack grossed more than the movie did.
