That King Arthur movie Guy Richie made is pretty bad, but the soundtrack is killer.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I can only think of the following:

XXX: State of the Union, Stealth, Blade and Blade 2... and the first six Fast and the Furious movies.

Man of Steel. Hans Zimmer goes hard. Zach Snyder goes hard for space dildo man capsules.

Highlander man,

Who wants to live forever?

Peaky Blinders, for sure. That soundtrack, wow.

I love Monsoon Wedding, but the music is better than the movie in that one too.

ETA: My husband adds Saturday Night Fever.

And another edit, one of my kids would like to add Sucker Punch to this list.

Dinosaur composed by James Newton Howard. Lovely opening melodie by flute and great epic action music.

My parents bought this on CD in the 90s, and I loved listening to it. Watched the movie recently, and was very disappointed.

I just checked my OST playlist and the “worst” movies I could find are:

  • Eye in th Sky
  • Hold the Dark
  • A Ghost Story
[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Im not sure but I have seen all sorts of alright or crap movies broadcast and then the credits play and its like. wow this movie had this song!

The Anna Taylor Joy Emma I though was great, and the soundtrack is amazing, but my wife only likes the soundtrack and not the movie.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I know I'm putting forward a series but Blood of Zeus has one of the best soundtrack work I've heard. It feels epic, thematic and is actually tailored to each scene and the characters in it.

It's like Peter and the Wolf on steroids turned into a proper composed orchestra set in Greek mythology on every episode. Writing and voice acting is good enough but the show becomes one of my favorites because of the music.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's also pretty rad that Bloodsport was partly filmed in Kowloon Walled City.

The last temptation of Christ, by Martin Scorsese with Willem Defoe. Soundtrack by Peter Gabriel. The movie is good, the soundtrack "Passion" is way better.

Rufus Wainwright has an Agnus Dei, if you're into this kind of thing:

Y'all might like some Klezmer, too, like Barcelona Gipsy something or other.
