Tron: Legacy
50Best answer. Got motherfuckin Daft Punk for that movie. Have never rewatched the movie but listened to the soundtrack hundreds of times
10Reconfigured 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.
11It's SO boring.

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.
9The 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.
9If tenacious D is perfection then I've been aspiring to all the wrong things. Dang

Judgement Night. A decidedly milquetoast movie but holy shit that soundtrack was nothing but bangers.
8Formative years memory activated. I must have had that soundtrack on repeat for months when it was released. Movie was awful.
3Thank you for the recommendation.

Not sure if soundtrack === score here but I really enjoyed :
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Pirates of the Caribbean 3
Angels and Demons
Star Trek : Into Darkness
6All of the American Pie sequels. The first was alright, the rest were meh.
6Thor: Love and Thunder
5The 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.
5St 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.
5Godzilla (1998) soundtrack, with that Come With Me song by Puff Daddy, along with many other bangers.
4Black Adam was kinda mid, but boy did it have such awesome music. I encourage you to listen to "Teth-Adam" and "The Justice Society Theme".
4Drive.
Ryan Gosling plays the main character but is completely emotionless. It's actually so bad it's funny. The soundtrack is great though
4Nightcall by Kavinsky is just so good
5Is this another (real human) bean meme?

judgement night and spawn.
4City of Angels
3My mom had this soundtrack that she listened to all the time. Definitely listened to it more than I saw the movie

first Blade movie
2I think Watchmen probably qualifies here.
2But it wasn't a bad movie. Maybe not the absolute peak of cinema, but it's no where near "terrible". They did a lot of things very right. Rorschach, for example, was absolutely perfect. Exactly like the graphic novel.
10That was a decent movie imo. I know it's subjective, but I thought people liked it.

Skate Kitchen. I watched it because I like the Clairo song that’s on the soundtrack and it’s about skateboarding, but this has to be the most boring coming of age movie I’ve ever seen. Not helped by Jaden Smith’s terrible acting
2Kikujiro, 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.
2Mallrats. And the director's commentary is good too.
2Did anyone mention Last Action Hero yet? The soundtrack grossed more than the movie did.
1Boss baby
1I really liked the sequel, Baby Driver, though.

More like it was Meh... Fireworks (Uchiage Hanabi, Shita kara Miru ka? Yoko kara Miru ka?)
1I think it depends on the definition of terrible. The first movie that sprang to mind when I read the question was Maximum Overdrive. A movie that I think most people consider pretty terrible although it's always been a guilty pleasure of mine and I think the AC/DC soundtrack plays a huge part of that.
