However I find all too often that music can ruin what may have been a watchable movie, like a laugh track can ruin a Sit-Com. I find music is most often used to force emotions in most movies, good and bad. I would rather a movie allow me to react in my own way, rather that having it imposed by music. In general I find it overused and more recently too loud relative to dialog. For the most part I would rather have NO music in movies, except for those like The Red Violin, The Red shoes or A Clockwork Orange all of which have music as integral part of the story.
