Nor did the fine music, spoiled by those dated synths.    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 11:27 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Not sure about "terrible" movies, but the composer I'd nominate for "the finest scores for movies no-one ever saw or cares to remember" is John Scott. Posted:   Dec 6, 2018 - 12:53 PM    By:   kaseykockroach   (Member) Pretty much everything assigned to John Scott.    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 3:34 PM     By:   danbeck   (Member) A movie that was definitely misunderstood -- very much to my surprise -- was STARSHIP TROOPERS, also by Verhoeven, a splendid movie and one of the most subversive satires to ever come out of Hollywood. Perhaps Verhoeven's greatest Hollywood achievement was that he got that movie greenlighted and produced. Yet some actually took it at face value! Troopers is excellent, misunderstood for sure, it's a winking satire gung ho propaganda piece. I recall the usual type Voerhoeven controversy about showing a lot of skin in the co-ed showers scene. The effects still are quite amazing, and the score is fantastic. Also agree on this one. I’ve watched it may times and it is always a fun ride.    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 3:36 PM     By:   danbeck   (Member) A thread like this just goes to show how difficult it is to agree on what is an awful film. One person's awful film is another person's masterpiece and vice versa. Yes but some things are recognized facts: The Swarm, Batman & Robin, King Kong Lives are universally considered bombs! Other movies are not The Burbs, Poltergeist II, Jaws the Revenge. Even opinions have some limits in common sense! Hom many people in the world believe there is something to be saved from JAWS IV ? Ha! Just read my post in the first page listing some undeniable qualities of Jaws IV and I’m sure you will be converted!    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 4:14 PM     By:   William R.   (Member) I am absolutely floored at the idea of Under Fire being a "terrible movie, great score" situation. That score is an inextricable part of that movie's heart and soul. Anyway, this topic deserves to be split in two: The Jerry Goldsmith wing, and the everyone else wing. Orca Exorcist II (Morricone) The Amityville Horror (Schifrin) Lifeforce (Mancini) The Bride Tai Pan (Jarre) Saturn 3 (Bernstein) Krull (Horner, I know this movie has developed a following, but I never got it) Cherry 2000 (Poledouris) King Kong Lives (Scott)    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 4:16 PM     By:   William R.   (Member) Not sure about "terrible" movies, but the composer I'd nominate for "the finest scores for movies no-one ever saw or cares to remember" is John Scott. You don't know what love is until you find yourself watching Inseminoid because John Scott did the music.    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 4:26 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Ok, the original poster first lists The Burbs as a terrible movie, but now I see people listing Jaws The Revenge (!), are you all insane? I think maybe Jaws The Revenge was a bit ahead of its time but it is far from being terrible.    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 4:42 PM     By:   rcashill   (Member) I am absolutely floored at the idea of Under Fire being a "terrible movie, great score" situation.

I know it's not exactly a terrible movie per se, but the score outclasses the film by miles.    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 5:05 PM     By:   rcashill   (Member) The film's a masterpiece compared with THE SCARLET LETTER and other dud movies on Barry's resume. When friends comb through my collection they inevitably pause at a Barry or Goldsmith title and say "You have this?," thinking it's the DVD or Blu-ray and not the soundtrack...    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 5:13 PM     By:   JohnnyG   (Member) Not sure about "terrible" movies, but the composer I'd nominate for "the finest scores for movies no-one ever saw or cares to remember" is John Scott. Posted:   Dec 6, 2018 - 12:53 PM    By:   kaseykockroach   (Member) Pretty much everything assigned to John Scott. This. And "YOR, the Hunter from the Future" quite easily tops the list IMHO.    Posted:   Dec 7, 2018 - 5:57 PM     By:   danbeck   (Member) Ok, the original poster first lists The Burbs as a terrible movie, but now I see people listing Jaws The Revenge (!), are you all insane? I think maybe Jaws The Revenge was a bit ahead of its time but it is far from being terrible. Those preview clips are missing the score! No wonder it got a bad review!    Posted:   Jan 23, 2019 - 5:46 PM     By:   NUMBER 6   (Member) BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABBLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABL BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABL BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABBLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABL BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLLABL BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABBLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABL BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABL BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABBLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABL BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLLABL    Posted:   Jan 23, 2019 - 6:17 PM     By:   WagnerAlmighty   (Member) It's Alive The score is SO Bernard and the added electric bass goes over excellently throughout imo. I don't have too much bad to say about the movie, as there was a socially conscious (and even a comedic) side to it. But imagining a baby traipsing (crawling?) across town murdering people is just to too out there for me, demon or not, at worse it's unintentionally hilarious. Consider the area it would have covered from the hospital to da-da. I do admit to a couple of creepy feelings during the film, which have Bernard totally to thank for.    Posted:   Jan 23, 2019 - 10:36 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) ORCA is not terrible . BATMAN AND ROBIN- terrible- should NEVER be mentioned in the same sentence as the very good FOREVER. NUFF sAid!. Brm    Posted:   Jan 24, 2019 - 6:54 AM     By:   jenkwombat   (Member) My apologies if they've already been mentioned, but I'd add: Airport '75 Airport '77 The Concorde - Airport '79 All pretty awful, but in a fun way. Good scores, though...    Posted:   Jan 24, 2019 - 11:35 AM     By:   darthbrett   (Member) These are my picks for bad, really bad or downright awful movies with great scores: Alien 3 Alien Resurrection 1941 Always Baby Legend of the Lost Dinosaur Batman Forever Batman & Robin Big Top Pee-Wee The Black Hole Chain Reaction Cocoon the Return Congo Cutthroat Island Deep Rising Earthquake Heartbeeps Hollow Man Howard the Duck Jaws 2 Judge Dredd Justice League King Kong (1976) Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Krull Legend Link Leviathan Little Buddha Looney Tunes Back in Action JP The Lost World Masters of the Universe The Mummy Returns Orca Outland Pearl Harbor Piranha PotC - Dead Man's Chest PotC - At World's End PotC - On Stranger Tides Planet of the Apes (2001) Poltergeist II The Postman Rambo III Red Sonja RoboCop 2 Rocky IV (although the movie is a guilty pleasure of mine) SpaceCamp Speed 2 Cruise Control Spider-Man 3 ST V The Final Frontier ST Nemesis Super Mario Bros Supergirl SW The Phantom Menace SW Attack of the Clones SW The Last Jedi War of the Worlds (2005) Wolfen I know there are a lot more. Those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head.    Posted:   Jan 24, 2019 - 1:01 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Your list is not only bad, it is TERRIBLE! get outta here! have a nice day    Posted:   Jan 24, 2019 - 1:11 PM     By:   Scott McOldsmith   (Member) This should be renamed "Great Scores to Movies I Don't Like"    Posted:   Jan 26, 2019 - 6:09 AM     By:   Caliburn   (Member) Easy pick for me is Transformers: The Last Knight. Steve Jablonsky wrote some great tracks, which were totally overblown by explosions and sound effects.     General Discussion: Terrible movie, Great score.    << < 3 4 5  >   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5
