Cheesiest soundtrack of all time? - Leaving Las Vegas (1996) Discussion

[–] Rmiles92 11 years ago

Not sure if 'cheesiest' is the right word (that's really a better description of Cage's acting in general, bar Adaptation ). The soundtrack was bad, but it was also unnecessary most of the time, well and truly overused.

Is this your homework, Larry?

Ha - I was about to write the same thing after reading the title to this thread.

Cheezy soundtrack ? No. Nauseating ? Maybe.

Lol... it does make me feel like puking a bit, thinking back on it. Terrible sound and beyond overdone.

Rmiles92, I agree with you point by point 100%!

Was that Don Henly singing most of those songs? Great voice, terrible (just terrible) soundtrack.

Ladyhawke (1985) has the cheesiest soundtrack of all time.

I can't believe people didn't like it -- I special ordered it at my local record store back in the day.

Still enjoy it

They don't enjoy it, because they've likely never been exposed to it before, and have been desensitized to anything other than what they've been spoon fed since birth. Most don't have the attention span, to even attempt to appreciate this music. This music is completely foreign to them. Also interesting is the association with smooth jazz of the 1990's, when the majority of the songs in the film were written in the 1940's. They would have no way of knowing that though. Their world view isn't that big.

Even if I had liked the film (I appreciated the performances and direction, but eh...), I wouldn't bother re-watching it thanks to the soundtrack.

Seriously, hearing those same songs over and over just became unbearable.

Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

Call me crazy, but I actually kind of liked it. I thought it really matched the opening scene where he pounded the whiskey pint in less than 10 seconds. I do agree that most of it was kind of overplayed throughout the film, making the soundtrack seem quite limited.
