Post the film scores that don't get proper recognition, either from the film being obscure or forgotten, or being a shit film with a good score, etc.

M. Night Shyamalan films are good for this, a lot of rubbish films with fine scores by James Newton Howard. Example, Lady in the Water:

The Village also has a superb score.

Captain America 2 and Transformers 4. Not even memeing, I think they'd good scores stuck in the action movie ghetto.

Hans Zimmer at his arguably most Zimmerish. Nice integration of the original theme, as well.

Basil Poledouris always gets love for his stuff like Conan the Barbarian, but people seem to forget the time he went FULL-1980's, which is a shame. He's just as good on synthesizers.

This is my favorite opening title theme from any Star Trek movie, probably one of my favorite bits of film music period, and it's severely underrated. I really wish opening titles with grand themes would make a comeback.

One of the greatest original cinematic 90's film scores.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Cknr9mee0k
So lighthearted and innocent. Has no pomp or pretension, isn't trying to be anything it isn't. Perfectly captures the sentiment of the main character and the transformation he goes through in the film. The love he has for his son and the love embodied in fatherhood.

I fucking hate how John Williams is mostly recognized for his meme music like Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and yet some of his actual masterpieces remain highly unnoticed.

Here's one, The Long Good Friday, a British gangster film. If you like 70s electronic scores, I think this is a particularly good one. Just check out the main theme

>>84725806
this is by far one of the worst scores ever composed.

It's pure early 90s made-for-TV trash. I doubt it was even composed for this movie, but was just scraped together from something that was never released.

I'm not alone on this, I've seen others on the internet discussing how distractedly awful this score is.
