Has anyone watched something they weren't fussed about but really liked the soundtrack, whether it's a selection of pop tunes or an original score?
I rather like the soundtrack to The Beach with its selection of bright, summery electronic numbers from the likes of Leftfield, Faithless, and Underworld all with a bit of darkness bubbling underneath it all. I think it's the best thing about the film and it does a better job at conveying that feeling of paradise lost than the script did.
The same goes for Darren Aronofsky's first feature length film Pi. It's supposed to be dark and cerebral piece but it'd be a complete flop if it wasn't for the jungle, IDM, dark trip-hop, and ambient techno blasting on the soundtrack, adding more to that sense of frenzied paranoia than the overwrought direction could.

I didn't like Pulp Fiction but it had several great tracks, including some obscure surf music.

Forrest Gump had a good soundtrack but I’m not a fan of the movie. Same with Spawn and Less Than Zero.

Heavy Metal has a great soundtrack, but no matter how much I want to, I just don't like the movie.

I find it very difficult to separate the soundtrack from the movie usually.
Not that I dislike it, but one of my favorite guilty pleasures is "Troy". I would never call the soundtrack a guilty pleasure. I like that Bulgarian chorus music very much.

Soundtracks you like for films that you don't like I find it very difficult to separate the soundtrack from the movie usually.

I find you quite entertaining too. Yawn. Exactly. It's old and it's getting boring. But you are free to troll on. It's your board, after all.

Exactly. It's old and it's getting boring. But you are free to troll on. It's your board, after all. You came into a thread entitled "Soundtracks you like for films that you don't like" and posted about a film you don't dislike. Then you said it was both tiresome and entertaining. I think maybe you should step back, take a good look around, and reassess your judgment. I suppose next you'll point your finger at me and cry smear campaign...

When you call a movie "a guilty pleasure", you also indicate that you are aware, that you know that it's a bad movie. I went on to say that the soundtrack wasn't bad at all. The movie itself is cheap. Look at what it has made of Homer's Illiad. To repeat my point, the soundtrack was not cheap at all. And you misunderstood. It was you and your trolling that I called "tiresome".

Likewise. Bye. smear campaign Shall we take this to PM? Or how else do you call it when people stalk you from board to board and call you a "pedo" because you are Turkish-German and therefore Muslim born? And that, inspite you made it clear over a thousand times that you are an atheist. And it goes on and on and went on for years now. And you are the admin who is letting this happen.

You're a forum poster, Jill, not a POTUS candidate. What exactly do you think is being smeared? Your reputation? That's rich, and your post was still a fail. Play along once in a while and stop being delusional.

Play along once in a while and stop being delusional. Play along in a smear campaign that calls me a "pedo"? By one of those islamophobic racists who go after me and have been for years in order to bully me? Because they are envious bitter incel assholes for whom I am not even human? Is that what I am supposed to take easy? It is precisely because I am a private citizen and not a POTUS candidate that I deserve protection. And instead, I get called out for reporting it, not the troll who has been going after me for years now. Let's face it: I am finished when I fight back on the board and report it and I am also finished when I don't fight back on the board and report it. I get called out by you instead. You know, let's get this DBOTY done and I might be leaving your precious board. I might win and I don't want to look like a coward or be spoilsport.
