Soundtracks You Liked Better Than The Movie They Came From

[flowrchild]

Some examples that spring into mind for me are:

Forrest Gump
I Am Sam
Cherish

What are yours?

[charliebobo]

VANILLA SKY...

... but even a soundtrack by The Smurfs would've been better than that movie

[SIREN30]

Stealing Beauty...excellent soundtrack; mediocre movie.

The same goes for the soundtrack to Dead Presidents...

[stevereno]

PRETTY IN PINK
FLASHDANCE
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: THE DREAM MASTER

SHIVER ME TIMBERS

Oh mah gah, I love that soundtrack! I think I'll play it right now. (I'm alone right now, and it's just too cheesy to play within earshot of "normal" people.) BTW, the movie is my favorite sequel in the series. Too bad the soundtrack doesn't have that Sinead O'Connor track that plays during the credits, though; it's on her Lion and the Cobra album, but without the rap break.

"Sleep sleep under the night night stars..."

Anyway, here's more cool soundtracks to movies I don't care for:


Good Will Hunting
Blow
Sliver
Tank Girl


Then there's those really cheesy '80s movie soundtracks I'll never admit to liking: Playing for Keeps, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Hiding Out, Earth Girls Are Easy...

Good picks so far, guys.

Although I really enjoyed the movie Empire Records. It's one of the only movies in that genre that I found amusing.

:)

Oh and I loved Good Will Hunting. Elliott Smith kicks ass.

That's the one w/ Billy Bob and Bruce, right? I loved that movie! After Cate Blanchett's red-headed dance around the kitchen singing Bonnie Tyler, I went right out and bought myself some nice-n-easy. I was a flaming redhead for a while....:cool:

About A Boy


I love Badly Drawn Boy's soundtrack.

Shame about the film though.

[Elgyn]

The Crow: City Of Angels

Spawn

[Elgyn]

Here`s two more:

Singles
Escape From L.A.

[Cabrini Green]

Cruel Intentions, a good soundtrack (Placebo, Aimee Mann, The Verve) but I had a tough time finishing that film even though I like Reese Witherspoon.
A Life Less Ordinary, again a good complication (Beck, Luscious Jackson, Sneaker Pimps, REM, The Cardigans, Elvis Presley, Bobby Darin) but I would never watch that movie again either.

Hmm, I loved the soundtrack AND the film, ah well, to each his or her own.

[Lady Summerisle]

Earth Girls Are Easy...


'Cause I'm a blonde, yeah yeah yeah...

NOES 4 also had Dramarama. Oh yes and The Divinyls. God I love soundtracks. I bought THE LION AND THE COBRA for" I Want Your (Hands on Me)" but ended up loving the entire thing.

[Annie Hall]

Hideous Kinky

Mediocre movie, excellent soundtrack

[MickeyKnox]

Spawn
*They had some of the best techno music on it! Not to mention one of Marilyn Manson's best songs!

[Morgana]

Charlie's Angels

Silly movie, awesome soundtrack

[Mad Maggot]

Striptease

Flashdance

[Elgyn]

How could I forget this one: "Stigmata"!

Awful movie.......awesome soundtrack.

[flowrchild]

I used to love the song Crazy For You by Madonna, and then they wasted it in that hunk-of-junk movie Vision Quest.

[TheJadedGamer]

I'd have to say:

Empire Records
Varsity Blues
The New Guy

[ofmknockoff]

Here are some more:

Resident Evil: composed by Marylin Manson (not that the movie was bad or anything)

Mortal Combat: KMFDM, Orgy not sure what else (again the movie wasn't bad)

[badberry]

I remember liking the Scream 3 soundtrack a lot back in the day, despite never caring for the movie.

Queen of the Damned had a good soundtrack too.

[skaaddict3303]

i totally agree, empire records is the best movie ever with a great great great soundtrack.

[Nachokoolaid]

The one thing I didn't like about the "Spawn" soundtrack is that it really fucked with one of my favorite Metallica songs, "For Whom the Bell Tolls." WTF was that shite? It sounded alike Alvin and the Chipmunks techno version or something.
