Best answer. Got motherfuckin Daft Punk for that movie. Have never rewatched the movie but listened to the soundtrack hundreds of times
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.
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.
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.
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.
Formative years memory activated. I must have had that soundtrack on repeat for months when it was released. Movie was awful.
Thank you for the recommendation.
All of the American Pie sequels. The first was alright, the rest were meh.
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
St Elmoβs Fire. I only watched it because of the catchy βfull eightiesβ title track and discovered that said title track totally outclassed the movie.
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.
Thor: Love and Thunder
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?
Godzilla (1998) soundtrack, with that Come With Me song by Puff Daddy, along with many other bangers.
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.
City of Angels
My mom had this soundtrack that she listened to all the time. Definitely listened to it more than I saw the movie
I think Watchmen probably qualifies here.
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.
That was a decent movie imo. I know it's subjective, but I thought people liked it.
first Blade movie
Mallrats. And the director's commentary is good too.
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.
Boss baby
I really liked the sequel, Baby Driver, though.
More like it was Meh... Fireworks (Uchiage Hanabi, Shita kara Miru ka? Yoko kara Miru ka?)
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.
Did anyone mention Last Action Hero yet? The soundtrack grossed more than the movie did.
