The Scarlet Pimpernel was pretty awful, but it had a snappy theme.

I hate The Last Samurai, but one good thing I'll say about it was its music. Well, that and Ken Watanabe and Tom Cruise did pretty good in their roles, even if I think said roles suck.

The Room.

Wait, people HATE The Room?

It was tearing me apart.

I didn't like Meet The Feebles, but some of the songs are catchy. Like these ones.

• One Leg Missing
• Sodyomy

Battlefield Earth had some great music, especially the theme and the music played during the human revolt. Too bad the movie blew.

John Powell's score to Gigli was the sole redeeming feature of the movie. Especially the last track on the album, with its sudden transition into a gospel choir.

On the subject of the Crater Lake Monster, I always liked the end credit music. A nice, somber harmonica and guitar piece to go with the somber final scene.

Avatar's score was horribly generic, but there was one track I liked, the trumpet motif during the "how sad, all the good guys are losing" montage.

Then I found out that James Horner had plagiarized that part from a bunch of his previous scores. So that's why it was the only good part.

Another: Didn't like most of Man of Steel's score, because it was so ear-deafening and repetitive, but the one song I liked was its main theme. Summed up all the good parts of the score. Plus, at home I can keep the volume low.

But I already made a thread with exactly this premise,called "Bad Movies With Brilliant Scores"

This is a duplicate

The Second Coming of Suzanne. Unbearably pretentious post-psychedelic BS with an amazing soundtrack.

Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid. How in the hell did Leo F%*$ing Kottke wind up gracing this interminable, unfunny crapburger of a movie with a lovely acoustic guitar score?

Perhaps Sorcerer. I don’t really hate it, it’s just a pointless and inferior remake of an excellent film (The Wages of Fear). Cool Tangerine Dream soundtrack, though.

Doubling as a film that I (mostly) hate that everyone else loves, "Stalker" has only one piece of music throughout the entire film, but it's goddamn amazing. Seriously.

As for the film itself, it started out alright and ended in (IMO) the worst way possible... but daaaaamn, that music + The Zone = real atmosphere of the supernatural.

The Eragon movie is probably the reason the books have so much hate. That said, the soundtrack almost made it worth watching. Specifically: Battle for the varden

Count me in as another who thinks that Stalker is a bloated, pompous, unendurable waste of time with a mindblowingly excellent soundtrack. Eduard Artemiev can do no wrong.
