That's an odd question... Do you mean, without having even seen the movie myself? I'd say "not likely at all," personally.

The exception to that might be a situation where I'm living in a small rural town somewhere, and there's a movie out whose soundtrack was done by a band or musician I really like, but I can't see it yet because of limited distribution. So if I have a friend who lives in a big city, I might suggest that he/she go see it so they can tell me if it's any good (because oh-by-the-way I don't trust movie critics)... But that isn't really a "recommendation," it's more like a form of "city-dweller shaming."

I remember back in the punk/new-wave days (and I suspect this is also true for a lot of hip-hop-oriented movies too), the soundtrack was often the best thing about the movie, sometimes by far. The best example that I can think of off the top of my head is probably this one:

Times Square (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Various Artists

Don't waste your time on the movie, it's horrendous, but the album certainly has some decent stuff on it.
