        Reconfigured version goes off, but the normal version is still so much better than the movie. I didnt hate the movie but I too haven’t rewatched it.

      Great answer. I still like the beginning where he parachutes.

    I found Requiem for a dream boring and depressing but the main soundtrack is pretty good.

    Tenacious D’s Pick of Destiny

    I knew the soundtrack by heart before I ever stepped into the cinema so it was never gonna live up to the hype but goddamn.

      The movie wasn’t terrible, just a regular stoner movie, but the soundstrack was indeed leagues better than the movie. It’s hard to match perfection though.

    Judgement Night. A decidedly milquetoast movie but holy shit that soundtrack was nothing but bangers.

      Formative years memory activated. I must have had that soundtrack on repeat for months when it was released. Movie was awful.

    St Elmo’s Fire. I only watched it because of the catchy “full eighties” title track and discovered that said title track totally outclassed the movie.

    The Crow. Movie was just so cheesy, but the soundtrack is just some of the best alternative songs from the time. A lot of original songs made for the soundtrack too.

    Drive.

    Ryan Gosling plays the main character but is completely emotionless. It’s actually so bad it’s funny. The soundtrack is great though

      My mom had this soundtrack that she listened to all the time. Definitely listened to it more than I saw the movie

    Kikujiro, 100%. Beautiful soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi so I blindly watched the movie with a friend. It made no sense (maybe cultural differences? lmao) and left us wondering “WTF” after the random child molestation scene which I think happened near the beginning. Maybe the movie is okay and we brought this upon ourselves by watching it with no context, but man, it was nothing like the music.
