ONTD Original: Terrible movies with great soundtracks

[sitakhet]

Sometimes, as the title implies, an awful movie ends up with a confusingly good soundtrack. Maybe the director/producer had connections. Perhaps it was a big-budget movie that had the ca$h to blow on the rights to use the music, but the movie itself was butchered in post. Or they used black magic. Who knows

there was a song I really liked from the Sucker Punch soundtrack...I think it was a mashup of We Will Rock you and I Want it All.

I'm big on cover songs so the Not Another Teen Movie soundtrack is one of my favorites.

Eta... I have no idea how this turned into a reply to your comment 🤷‍♀️

You nailed all the ones I thought of, OP.

Tbh, sometimes a good soundtrack tricks me into thinking it was a good movie. For shame, Hollywood.

Urban Legend

The horror Urban Legend is dreck, utter Jared Leto starring dreck but the soundtrack is great. I own it on CD!

Wow I don't remember Jared Leto being in that movie at all. But I also saw it once in theatres and that was it.

It had 2 sequels. Neither had a memorable soundtrack.

Very rude of LJ to fuck up all the videos I embedded but I think I fixed them all!

The Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland. Meh film (though I did love Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat), amazing soundtrack.

are we talking the Almost Alice cd? Because I came here to say that when it was released it was pretty much a playlist of artists i was listening to at that point.

[sea_thoughts]

Yep! Some great songs on there.

ohh that film let me down but I remember that Kerli did a song with Tokio Hotel for it and that blew my mind
