Movies With Bad Music

[Amadeus]

I've seen too many and can't remember so i'll wait to see what you guys have to say, then i'll post my list.:)

So tell me ol' chaps, what are some movies with bad music?

[PixyJunket]

X-Men, Spiderman, Daredevil.. :D

[LBPound]

Osmosis Jones - The R&B/rap music was distracting and just not befitting of the film.

[tanman]

finding forrester - exception somewhere over the rainbow
Daredevil

Actually I liked the X-Men soundtrack - I even have it on CD...Okay I didn't buy it I won it by naming the female characters on opening weekend but still. I listened to it.

[Geofferson]

Any recent action movie that pumps techno throughout the whole thing (most action movies I guess).

Amadeus







Totally kidding, couldn't resist.:)

Seriously, any and all rap music in soundtracks.

[RevLiver]

Any film with nu-metal songs.

Dragnet.

Pretty much any movie based on an old show that had a really catchy good song, where they just dump the song and replace it with some rap thing.

At least Spiderman included the cool TV song at the very end of the credits.

recent movies with rap music tend to be bad...

example: Jet Li's US action movies...

bad movie + bad music = just bad


too bad

I felt the themes for Mission To Mars and The Untouchables were too over-the-top for their films and didn't quite suit them. Oddly, both were done by Ennio Moricone who's done some very good scores in his career.

Oh, and I really like the music in X-Men. I'd even call it a very underrated score.

OMG, i hated the movie, but the music made it even worse.....man..... so bad.... like the organ music in the middle of space made absolutely no sense.

[UAIOE]

The US dubbed relelase of Jet Li's "Black Mask"

The rap music was way too loud, it was distracting and it didnt fit in with the movie at all.

Thankfully i only saw it on TV.

John Carpenters Ghosts of Mars

i like Untouchabl's music/score... but i think for some reason, the music tend to be too loud... or taking over the action/scene... i don't know if it makes sense to you...

but that's what i feel about it...
but the music is great though...

[RoQuEr]

Excess Baggage, Though the acting and directing didn't help......

[Mondo Kane]

Scarface (Moroder's theme music rocks, but those songs suck!)
Manhunter
Last House on the Left
Keoma/Mannaja (I can't stand these late-spaghetti western scores)

[greatjedi]

I didn't care for the music in The Fast and the Furious. I guess most of it just wasn't my style.

[Pants]

I'm a big Danny Elfman fan, but I don't like the score to Spiderman much at all. Nothing distinctive about it. It's Elfman on autopilot

[devilshalo]

Spider-man...

[wendersfan]

Gallipoli is a wonderful movie, but it has the most dreadful soundtrack. It's got all this cheesy synthesizer stuff, which is bad because it was made over 20 years ago, when synthesizers were almost always cheesy, but mostly because the movie's set in World War I and the music sounds incredibly out of place.

[Simpson Purist]

Any film that has songs from Smash Mouth in it.

Thank you. I revisited Untouchables, and couldn't help wondering what the experience would have been like with a more subtle theme, something like Jo Hisaishi would have come up with.
Also Scarface has some pretty cheezey choons on the soundrack, though the electronic score was kinda cool.

[DonnachaOne]

Any film where there was a film, a soundtrack album, and the album was melded around the finished film rather than made concurrently with input from the director and music supervisor.

Cue the lays into Daredevil. Starring Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and HOLY HELL DID YOU HEAR THIS AWESOME EVANESCENSE SONG?

[The Nature Boy]

Bad soundtrack fans must check out virtually ANY 1970's Italian Horror/Cannibal/Zombie films. I'm thinking specifically of Jungle Holocaust and Fulci's Zombi. Some of the most bizarre music choices ever.

I thought Fletch had "good" bad music(Get out of town...)

And the Hunter Thompson based, Bill Murray starring "Where the Buffalo Roam" had to change the music for the DVD release, and it's supposed epically bad.

[Dudikoff]

ABRAXAS with Jesse Ventura. The blaring electronic score is the worst music in a movie I have ever heard. I also hate when characters sing to songs made specifically for that movie. It's absurd to see someone singing a song that hadn't even come out when the movie was made.

[Pillowhead]

Eyes Wide Shut
Daredevil
Spiderman (The songs not the score)

[ckolchak]

...And Justice for All - one of the only times i've noticed a score being especially bad or inappropriate

Creature From The Black Lagoon- the mosters 3 note musical cue is relentlessly repeated over and over and over- like someone driving an ice pick into your brain again and again. i love the movie, but the music makes it very hard to watch anymore for me.

Pandoras Box(silent) there was a video version of this in the 80's from Janus films (i think). very interesting film, but the organ score again is relentlessly monotonous. it makes the movie very taxing to sit thru

King Kong (1933)- many people consider Max Steiners score one of the greatest for a classic movie, but for me its a little too bright, too aggressive and in your face most of the time.
my favorite film as a kid, but the score usually gives me a headache now. by contrast, John Barrys score for the widely reviled remake, is still one of my favorites. beautiful, ominous, melancholy, wonderful.

[audrey]

As much as I enjoy Philip Glass, I often found the score to <b>Koyaanisqatsi</b> at odds with the visuals as if the score was written in isolation of the film. On its own terms the score is fine, but in the context of the film it just doesn't work for me.
