Sometimes when I see a movie I think wow, this music is too good for the movie they are using it for..

One instance.. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

Great music, not so great of a movie..

Can anyone think of certain movies they saw over the years and think this also?

While I agree that theres many lackluster movies with great music - I think that music "too good" for the movie intended is a great reason to watch that movie. When the music was too good for the movie. (50)

Almost all of the films from Frederic Talgorn. And I agree with the John Scott comment as well.

First Knight (Goldsmith)

Island Of Lost Souls (Cornish)
Under Siege 2 (Poledouris)
Paycheck (Powell)

to name but a few.

And I agree completely, a great score is a great reason to watch an awful movie.

I think the whole idea of a score being too good for the movie it's in is ridiculous.

Was Sean Connery's acting too good for The Untouchables? Was Jack Cardiff's cinematography too good for Black Narcissus? Was David Lean's directing too good for Ryan's Daughter? Were Edith Head's costumes too good for Breakfast At Tiffany's?

You get the gist. No one sets out to make a bad movie, do they? Like no one sets out to make a good or bad score.

That´s true but nevertheless they can end up with a film that is bad and a score that is much too good for this bad film!

Devil's advocate playing here am I. There aren't mags like FSM and MTFM used to be (and Legend and MSV still are), separating any of the other things in a movie - you do have periodicals for professionals like cinematographers but not mags for fans of these other professions.

Totally agreed. I can think of few movies as outright bad as Heavy Metal 2000 that had a score so mind-numbingly amazing.

Just thought of another one. Maurice Jarre's score to Moon Over Parador. I'm not a Jarre fan and only like a few of his works, but I thought this was an excellent, lively score. Unfortunately, it was written for one of the worst films known to Man.

Glad to see another Talgorn fan. LeHah, do you have Talgorn's score for Asterix Aux Jeux Olympiques? It's fantastic. I also highly recommend Anthony Zimmer.

I wholeheartedly second the recommendation for Asterix Aux Jeux Olympiques. It will blow your mind. Just ignore the atrocious pop songs at the beginning of the CD though.When the music was too good for the movie. (132)
