InhalteA movie is incomplete without a good soundtrack. That being said, some soundtracks surpass the original film and often are considered as being so significant in their presentation, they are considered as artworks of their own, independent of the movie.
1) In which films have soundtracks been underrated due to the movie itself not standing out or being underrated?
2) Can renditions be counted as a part of a soundtrack of films? This question is made relevant when one considers some movies, which have different presentations and interpretations of originals, such as the Laura Del Ray version of "Blue Velvet", or "Singing in the Rain" as used by Malcolm McDowell in "A Clockwork Orange".
