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.
Viomolin?
Hook.
Captain America 2 and Transformers 4. Not even memeing, I think they'd good scores stuck in the action movie ghetto.
X-Men: The Last Stand
John Powell in general is super underrated
The Patriot
The final scene where Mel is telling the Americans to hold the line and then the main theme starts playing...I literally get goosebumps every time
Conan
WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?
...
The movie itself ain't half-bad, either.
Hans Zimmer at his arguably most Zimmerish. Nice integration of the original theme, as well.
Don't know about underrated but still my favorite.

That's rated pretty highly.
Jack Reacher

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.
Hulk 2003

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.

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.

X-Men First Class, had a pretty neat ost:

Underrated movie too

Hans Zimmer before he turned into a BWOOOO machine.

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
Starship Troopers is also one of his best.
Ayy
>mfw 0:34 kicked in
>How to Train Your Dragon score
bump
so good Zelda games kept using it for their trailers
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.
underrated you say?
never heard this before, thanks I love it
We need more electronic shit in here. It's gold.

Sentimental jap themes best themes
This sounds so much like Star Wars, I have no idea how you can disparage one and hate this

not even memein, this soundtrack is almost perfect, also the movie is underrated.
Another M. Night/JNH combo, Unbreakable:
Seconded
My freaking man. Was literally about to post this.
X-Men scores in general are underrated/

Magneto's theme is great too

Might as well be a movie
>all these fine work wasted on that crap film
This is a really good film too by the way. I highly recommend it on its own merits.
What are the chances of this being used in the new theme?
