Seven months ago, the movie formerly known as The Boat That Rocked had its UK theatrical release, followed up two months later with the DVD. Reviews at the time were so-so. Now the pic gets shipped state-side, renamed Pirate Radio and apparently with all the good parts taken out.

That said, the soundtrack contains 32 '60s classics from The Kinks to The Who to David Bowie — sending it straight to the "Soundtracks Better Than Their Movies" category. Here are our top 10 on that list.

Movie	Soundtrack Highlights	Music vs. Movie	"We're Feelin' Ya"
1. Purple Rain	Let's Go Crazy Take Me With U Darling Nikki When Doves Cry I Would Die 4 U Baby I'm a Star Purple Rain	Prince's concert movie/biopic is nearly unwatchable when any "acting" happens offstage (except, of course, for the unforgettable "purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka" scene featuring Apollonia). Meanwhile, the soundtrack is the third best-seller of all time, won an Oscar, and still holds up 25 years after its release.	"It's probably best to think of the film as an extended music video, a watershed moment for movie sound tracks, and not much more." Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
2. Twilight	Supermassive Black Hole - Muse I Caught Myself - Paramore Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation Never Think - Rob Pattinson	Some Twilight fans have complained the movie's soundtrack didn't really "fit" the Bella-and-Edward love story or the Forks, Washington, setting. As if that's a bad thing! Forget for a moment that it's based on a popular book, and the movie would barely make the cut for the CW. Meanwhile, the soundtrack is first-rate, including a moody ballad by star Robert Pattinson.	"There's nothing transporting about the visuals. Twilight was a famously low-budget production compared to most traditional blockbusters, but this is ridiculous." Christy Lemire, Associated Press
3. Marie Antoinette	Plainsong - The Cure Kings of the Wild Frontier - Adam & the Ants Ceremony - New Order Hong Kong Garden - Siouxsie and the Banshees	Maybe Sofia Coppola would be considered a better filmmaker if her soundtracks didn't always trump her movies. Marie Antoinette isn't bad, but when you set "Hong Kong Garden" to an 18th-century French costume ball, it's Siouxie and the Banshees who steal the show.	"The result is a silly piece of costume jewelry called Marie Antoinette, and no, the soldering of a new-wave-revival soundtrack with 18th-century Versailles is not interesting enough to save this bauble." Michael Booth, Denver Post
4. Lost Highway	I'm Deranged - David Bowie This Magic Moment - Lou Reed Mr. Eddy's Theme 1 and 2 - Barry Adamson Anything - Angelo Badalamenti	David Lynch has made some of our favorite movies ... but this ain't one of 'em. Bill Pullman was a musician who morphed into a mechanic, or something. If you figure it out, let us know. Anyhow, the Lou Reed music still sounds great and Lynch's composer Angelo Badalamenti was still at the top of his game.	"If one wishes to make sense of this film, it would have to be done on a metaphorical level." Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
5. Garden State	Caring Is Creepy - The Shins In the Waiting Line - Zero 7 One of These Things First - Nick Drake Winding Road - Bonnie Somerville Let Go - Frou Frou	Director and star Zach Braff's pale cover of a Wes Anderson movie somehow manages to have less drama and emotional connection than the movie's music, which includes tracks from Zero 7, Nick Drake, and of course Frou Frou. Oh, yes, and the Shins get a couple ditties in there, too.	"This comedy works so diligently at being idiosyncratic, it comes off as artificial and forced." Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
6. O Brother, Where Art Thou?	You Are My Sunshine - Norman Blake Down to the River to Pray - Alison Krauss Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby - Emmylou Harris I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow - The Soggy Bottom Boys I'll Fly Away - Gillain Welch	It's not that we hated this update of Homer's Odyssey by the Coen Brothers. But let's face it, it's impossible to follow up The Big Lebowski with a movie that won't disappoint by comparison. The catchy American folk music soundtrack, on the other hand, turned millions on to bluegrass, gospel, and blues — people who otherwise are predisposed to indie rock and music from those Apple commercials.	"After making what are still probably their two best features, the Coen brothers came up with their worst, a piece of pop nihilism." Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
7. Saturday Night Fever	Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees Night Fever - Bee Gees If I Can't Have You - Yvonne Elliman Boogie Shoes - KC & the Sunshine Band Disco Inferno - The Trammps	The movie is dance-off cheese with a dollop of bad Brooklyn accents, yet it did — thanks primarily to the music — turn disco into a worldwide phenomenon we're still coming to grips with almost 30 years later. It's still the number two best-selling soundtrack of all time, two million units behind The Bodyguard (seriously).	"John Badham's film (his best to date), a zeitgeist picture that captures the disco subculture of the 1970s like no other work, features a star-making performance from John Travolta who dominates every frame." Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.com
8. Pretty in Pink	If You Leave - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Do Wot You Do - INXS Bring on the Dancing Horses - Echo & the Bunnymen Wouldn't It Be Good - Danny Hutton Hitters	Maybe if John Hughes had written and directed Pink it would be up there with Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club in the "Brat Pack" filmography. Instead, its soundtrack is what's most memorable, an almost perfect collection of mid-80s alt-rock tainted only slightly by Suzanne Vega's "Left of Center."	"This is like every other Hughes film, just a little shoddier." Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
9. The Life Aqautic with Steve Zissou	Life on Mars? - David Bowie Rebel Rebel - Seu Jorge Gut Feeling - Devo The Way I Feel Inside - The Zombies Queen Bitch - David Bowie	Every Wes Anderson movie is a little bit worse than his last (starting with the brilliant Bottle Rocket and ending with The Darjeeling Limited), but the soundtracks are always top notch. Previous to Darjeeling he made the snoozer Aquatic, redeemed significantly by Seu Jorge covering David Bowie ... and David Bowie singing David Bowie.	"Why is it that so many people think this filmmaker is the voice of their generation? Is their generation that vacuous?" David Edelstein, Slate
10. Xanadu	Magic - Olivia Newton-John Suddenly - Olivia Newton-John I'm Alive - Electric Light Orchestra All Over the World - Electric Light Orchestra	In spite of featuring Olivia Newton-John at the peak of her beauty, this 1980 flick about a Greek muse who inspires a guy to build a disco roller rink — we didn't just make that up — doesn't even qualify as a guilty pleasure. The movie bombed. The soundtrack, however, contained five Top 20 singles, three from ONJ and two from ELO.	"Xanadu is a mushy and limp musical fantasy, so insubstantial it keeps evaporating before our eyes." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
