Game of thrones if we are counting the last few seasons… light of the seven (https://youtu.be/pS-gbqbVd8c?is=WSqGQGKdBa3UzY5Z) is definitely one my my favorite soundtracks. Especially with the context of the episode it was played in
Highlander man,
Who wants to live forever?
Disgusting lack of Space Jam in this thread. For a kids movie, the artists on the soundtrack were not fucking around
Yeah that really does seem like one of the most underrated movie soundtracks
Tron Legacy
Batman Forever and the X-Files Movie Soundtrack.
Love me some scores, but these were both rock solid soundtracks.
Put in my vote for _Flash Gordon _. Now, look, I love the movie, but the Queen album that goes with it is incredible.
“poet in process - why” from hellboy
Man of Steel. Hans Zimmer goes hard. Zach Snyder goes hard for space dildo man capsules.
O this is an easy one. Bloodsport.
The OST was composed by Paul Hertzog and in my opinion is one of the best soundtracks ever made. It’s what made the movie good in the first place.
Flashdance!
A great movie with an even greater soundtrack:
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. All of the TOS movies have great soundtracks, but The Voyage Home’s score stands out among them. Just that title track, that plays over a flat shot of the fore credits over a starry sky, is this high energy, multi-movement overture that’s more exciting than all Star Trek media made after 2008. We used to have potential as a species.
A shit movie with a legitimately good soundtrack:
Flashdance, of 1983. To quote Todd In The Shadows, “What most people remember about that movie is water, then Maniac right after that, and then about six hours of boring, and then What A Feeling.”
Super Mario Bros.
Open the door…
The Crow
Maximum Overdrive
It’s all AC/DC [the album version is Who Made Who], but, they’re pretty much all bangers with a couple originals for the movie.
Pirates of the Caribbean. The plot, characters, actors, and effects are fine enough. Specifically the plot is bland; it’s deliberately a hodgepodge of everything piratey tossed into a blender. Johnny Depp’s performance is excellent, but more because it feels the script was shaped around his eccentric dude persona rather than them stretching their skills. None of this makes the film bad just mediocre.
… but the score is a masterpiece. Instantly iconic, filled with layered motifs, carries the sense of adventure and perfectly shapes the mood of each scene. Both catchy enough to become an earworm, but orchestral and textured enough that it’s not unwelcome as one.
Yeah I have to agree, although I personally love the films as well.
