Movie Songs: worse than the movie, better than the movie, carried the movie, senseless without?

[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 6246312, member: 46713"] Is this about songs or about movie scores? Anyway, many movies I really like also have an excellent score. My favorite is Bladerunner, which wouldn't be 'complete' without Vangelis' score. There's a lot of movies that would be better if they didn't have such an obnoxious score, though. In many movies it's simply overdone. My favorite example: The Lord of the Rings. In theory it's fine to have a theme for every character in a movie, but if it gets repeated too often, it gets on my nerves. And The Lord of the Rings trilogy is simply too long for that kind of thing. There are also a few movies I noticed because of their choice of songs, e.g. Donnie Darko. Magnolia is also notable for Aimee Mann's 'Save Me' - it's the high point of the movie! And the beginning of 'There Will Be Blood' is especially impressive and memorable because of Johnny Greenwood's music. In many movies, though, the choice of songs seems to be mostly dictated by the popularity of the bands (in the hope of selling the soundtrack, I suppose) and not by how well they support a given scene.
