A Film that you liked the soundtrack more.
Well, that can probably fit about 98% of the movies released in the late 1980s and early 90s? Great soundtrack, bad movie. In fact many of them felt like well-orchestrated music videos.
Decisions, decisions.
I love the soundtrack of this movie - but I don't really like the movie. And have not been able to re-watch it at all. But I own the soundtrack and have listened to it endlessly over the years. The movie...hmmm...has issues.

But it had a great soundtrack. That was the 1980s and 90s for you. St. Elmo's Fire - I also thought of - great soundtrack, bad movie. Footloose? Great soundtrack and good dance scenes...movie, eh?
Purple Rain actually was a pretty good movie for being mostly an autobiographical music video. As was Flashdance.
