Oblivion
The movie itself is a boring holywood scifi (not actually bad, tho).
The soundtrack is a masterpiece by M83.
Was Last Action Hero good? I never saw it, but the soundtrack is loaded with 90s music.
The Da Vinci Code
Interstellar
1492: Conquest of Paradise. Very few people remember the movie (I still do and rewatch it regularly), but the soundtrack by Vangelis is an absolute banger.
In general, his soundtracks tend to be better than the movies. Alexander is another great example. Chariots of Fire and Bounty are fine movies, but still greatly enhanced by his soundtracks. Perhaps the only movie that stood on its own against a soundtrack by Vangelis was Blade Runner.
Arcane, although the songs are placed perfectly with each scene so maybe not better but I still listen to it all the time
Annihilation.
It’s all ambient, but gives one heck of an ambiance. Especially near the end.
Frozen.
“Let It Go” is a banger and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.
Interesting the divide here between who think soundtrack is orchestral music composed for the movie and others who think its a bunch of pop songs the director liked.
Came here to say this as well. Movie is kinda meh but the soundtrack is so solid I even like the Coldplay song on there! (and imo Coldplay is WACK)
I enjoyed this movie at the time. Was I wrong?
No. I enjoyed it immensely. That’s just how good the soundtrack is; to be even better than that.
It’s not a terrible movie. I think the main complaint about it is the use of the manic pixie girl trope.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Gangsters paradise - Coolio
Movie: Beautiful Mind
I Know What You Did Last Summer
The Mission and just about any other movie foolish enough to hire Ennio Morricone.
Also: The Phantom Menace.
American Beauty
