The Official List of Great Soundtracks, Lousy Movies

[Yavin4]

Let's start a list where the soundtrack of the movie was far better than the movie:

Chariots of Fire

[Gothic Sponge]

1. Star Trek the motion picture

Not a great film, but one hell of a great soundtrack!

[Swede]

2. Last Action Hero.

Great soundtrack.

[Beware the Beast Man]

3. Judgement Night

Fused Hip Hop Artists with Rock groups, sadly starting a trend that won't go away. The Slayer/Ice-T collab is gold, though.

[CO Liberal]

4. The Song Remains the Same"

2 1/2 hours of Robert Plant's crotch.

[flamingyouth]

5. Blow Up

Rather, the only decent part of it was when the Yardbirds played.

[Tom Kitten]

8. sticking to Antonioni

Sorry, you reminded me, the Zabriske Point soundtrack! Movie, lousy, soundtrack, intense! Patti Page, Jerry Garcia, Pink Floyd all together!

yeah, Blow Up blew too...what was it with him and doing films in English?

[VOX]

20. You get Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck together on "Stroll On" here...

The rest of the film was scored by Herbie Hancock, and it's not bad.

6. Doctor Jivago, Space Odissey 2001, Star Trek- Motion Picture

[bloodyjack]

13. Doctor Zhivago was terrific! You don't know what you're talking about!

You are TOTALLY 100% WRONG

Seriously though, I think the soundtrack complements the movie quite well. I guess I can see how people might generally be bored by it.

I would like to nominate the first two Pink Panther/Inspector Closeau movies. Vapid fun, sure, but it wouldn't be worth as much of the viewer's time without Mancini's brilliant score or that Italian actress's little song and dance.

14. 2001????

how dare you insult the mighty Kubrick?????:grr:

jk, i see what you mean; not his best movie, especially the end


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Tempest]

7. Purple Rain & Flash Gordon

[Poiuyt]

9. Big Country

Actually, the movies wasn't that bad. Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives. The score was on par with The Magnificent Seven.

[Tom Kitten]

10. Candy

the soundtrack is great, the movie considerably less so, despite its all-star cast...I liked the film for awhile but it got worse and worse and the ending made me fucking hate it!

[Radical Activist]

11. Phenomenon

Movie was ok, soundtrack was better

[Jade Fox]

12. Bridges of Madison County

great soundtrack with mucho Dinah Washington

[TexasBushwhacker]

16. Never noticed the soundtrack

But my friend and I pretty much laughed through the whole movie. God, what awful dialogue!

[PittPoliSci]

15. christine.

okay, so it was an "OKAY" movie, not great, not awful, but definetly an awesome soundtrack.

[Streetdoc270]

17. Moulin Rouge

n/t

[Tom Kitten]

18. Vampyros Lesbos

never saw the movie so I don't know for sure...Soundtrack is a classic, though!

[SmileyBoy]

19. Above The Rim

[DemWitch]

21. Xanadu

ELO, The Tubes and Olivia Newton John on one soundtrack... can't beat it.

[wickerwoman]

22. Braveheart, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves...

[arwalden]

23. Car Wash

[terrya]

24. "Out of Africa" has a gorgeous soundtrack. The film, however...

is the slowest paced film I've ever seen. You have to mark your time watching this film with a calendar.

That said, the soundtrack composed by John Barry is absolutely beautiful.

[lazarus]

25. Chariots was a damned fine film

It was just a bit too European, I think.

[radwriter0555]

26. STREETS of Fire... one of my all time favorite movies, right up there with

The 5th Element.
