How important is music in a movie to you? Examples of good and bad?

Question

Personally I think music can make or break a movie for me. Glory as an example has a phenomenal score and sets the perfect tone. Another example is comedies where there is this silly and childish music that just turns me off. Still another example is how comedies set a light tone like in Me, Myself and Irene, I love that soundtrack.

Answer 1

as usual my firend i agree with you .. what would films be with out it .. it dosnt even matter what type of music you like .. or even if its a real song .. what would the godfather be without its theme .. or the exorcist .. or forrest gump (believe it or not that was my introduction to Freebird was from that movie lol ) a song can set the scene .. How about Push it in Grandmas boy .. or Are you man enough in superbad ,, Any other song would not fit at all .. it can give the acotrs dignity still in an otherwise Retarded movie .. and by retarded i mean a comedy fart jokes etc etc .. when in fact you know they are talented.. (Will Farrel in STep brothers singing Por to volra *spelling*) Dave grhol in the pick of destiny .. they are extremely talented and their music makes the scenes.

Answer 2

I don't like movies that have to rely on a rock type soundtrack to give the scenes a little spice. Rob Zombie has done that a lot, and it shows (in a bad way).



The Dark Knight had a great score.....especially the electric cello sound that they used to create what resembled a siren that kept getting louder and louder.



A Clockwork Orange had a great score...although mostly Beethoven, the song at the beginning was the best part.

Answer 3

I think music is the most important part of a movie. I like the Sherlock Holmes movie sound tracks.

Answer 4
