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

[–] MrSlicer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one -1 points 2 years 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.

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.

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

[–] yads@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] C4d@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you for the recommendation.

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

[–] echoplex21@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years 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

[–] C4d@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] yads@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] Dwigt_Rortugal@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] rzlatic@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

judgement night and spawn.

[–] starman@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

Thor: Love and Thunder

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years 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".

[–] HRYDJPCHNMNDGBLTFIYA@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] tallwookie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

first Blade movie

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think Watchmen probably qualifies here.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years 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.

[–] MrSlicer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Bishma@social.fossware.space 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] croobat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] tieme@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I really liked the sequel, Baby Driver, though.

[–] jimrob4@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] cicadagen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] 3PO40K@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.
