Best of 2014: Soundtrack and Score

Read Time:1 Minute, 45 Second

All the best soundtracks and music scores from movies released in 2014 loved by Sinekdoks. Musics have always been a thing I love most in movies—whether  the soundtrack or the score, they always mesmerize me anytime they get so intense. I found 2014 as a great year for music in movies. We saw some good musical movies, about song-writer, band, or drummer, that ended up in everyone’s list; we also saw a music director appears twice in Oscar nominations or a music director tried church organs to orchestrated a space odyssey. In the end, since I again love odd numbers, I present you top 9 movies with most favorite movie soundtracks and 9 most favorite movie scores in 2014. Without further ado, check this out.

    Love these soundtrack notations, for their all great, and I love that you note the two best songs from Fault! This is, by far, my favorite collective year for film scores. It’s just astonishing, all of the incredibly diverse atmospheres created within the music.

      Thanks. I do agree that 2014 was great for film scores cause every film has different atmosphere to convey and Alexander Desplat nailed it. Lol.

    Agreed with Lost Stars being number one. But I choose Gone Girl scoring over Grand Budapest.

      I only thought that Gone Girl’s movie score is a little too noisy. Though some parts were wonderful. Wünderbar!

    Great, great list! Have you seen Birdman yet? It has excellent music. Loving the inclusion of Imitation Game and Gone Girl along with Begin Again
