I hate to say this, but the Weekend is worse than ladyhawke

So is Weekend

Audio Quality Blu Ray.com

Ladyhawke was released to theaters in Dolby Stereo, and there was also a six-track mix for 70mm blow-ups. When Warner released the film on DVD in 1997, the soundtrack was remixed for DD 5.1. The same mix is presented here in lossless DTS-HD MA, and, with a major caveat discussed below, it sounds terrific. While rear channel effects are limited, stereo separations are clear, particularly with the sounds of the hawk's cry as it flies, the wolf's distant howl and the beat of horses' hooves. The clang of swords against shields and armor is distinctive, especially when it echoes inside the cathedral in the final sequence, and Philippe's escape from the dungeons involves numerous sounds of water, as he navigates the city's drainage system. Dialogue is clear and mostly locked to the front center.

Ladyhawke's score is well-reproduced, but the score itself has been controversial almost from the moment the film was released. Like Dune and Flash Gordon, the film is a prime example of an Eighties trend to experiment with using pop musicians to score fantasy cinema. In this case, the composer was Andrew Powell, the chief arranger for The Alan Parsons Project, to whose music Donner was reportedly listening while scouting for locations. (Parsons served as the score's producer.) An unusual combination of progressive rock, orchestral performance and Gregorian chant, Powell's score has been criticized for not suiting the material and, more recently, for being dated. One critic has called it the "worst soundtrack ever composed". I'm not going to defend Powell's score as an underappreciated gem, because parts of it are definitely odd, but other parts are haunting and beautiful. Besides, this is the score Donner wanted, and Ladyhawke wouldn't be Ladyhawke without it. If you find the film moving, as I do, then you accept its peculiarities as part of the experience.

I have never seen The Weekend, so I cannot judge, however, LadyHawke is one of the most romantic movies ever!!! Even more romantic than James Cameron's Titanic. 

The Weeknd is alright. I started paying attention to him before he became a huge star I get a few hipster points. I liked Wicked Games a lot:



I also thought In the Night was kinda awesome:



Starboy is decent too. And Can't Feel My Face. He's got plenty of solid songs.
