[Bespin 8,472]

What is according to you, the best film score of 2015 among this list?

 

The scores of this list won an award for "Best Score", as voted by either one or more of these organizations:

• The International Film Music Critics Association Award
• The Online Film Critics Society Award
• The Los Angeles Film Critics Association

 

Let's discuss these choices made by Critics!

 

Note : That year the Oscar went to...

 

The Hateful Eight Ennio Morricone

[mstrox 6,637]

The Force Awakens is in what is probably the top 2 or 3 scores of its decade for me, so this was an easy one.

[Ollie 1,059]

TFA.

[Jurassic Shark 12,008]

TFA, with MI5 a close second.

[Marian Schedenig 8,153]

TFA is one of Williams' best of this millennium.

Shame its inaudible...

[Jurassic Shark 12,008]

I can't hear you.

[Thor 7,451]

My favourite score of 2015 is THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY (Cat's Eyes).

 

My favourite of the poll options is WOLF TOTEM.

 

Here's my podcast episode about the best scores of 2015, for anyone interested: http://celluloidtunes.no/celluloid-tunes-39-the-10-best-scores-of-2015-13th-international-edition/

These polls were secretly created to promote @Thor old podcasts.

[Thor 7,451]

Ha, ha....well, I already said pretty much everything I wanted to say about the years 2013-2020 in those podcasts, so it saves me some typing!

[JoeinAR 1,949]

Ennio M. score is so undeserving. If they want to honor him give him a lifetime achievement award. I listened to Rogue Nation which was lambasted here when announced but it is a good score. Not a close second as JP says but it is pretty good. I actually listened on your recommendation.

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,429]

TFA by far. It's certainly in my top 5 so it's a quick choice.

Other good scores:

• The Hateful Eight (my second favourite)
• Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
• Ant-Man
• Jurassic World
• The Danish Girl
• The Scorch Trials
• Mad Max: Fury Road (although that one only work for me in the movie)
• Sicario
• The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (a really fun surprise)
• Jupiter Ascending
• Tomorrowland
• Wolf Totem

Well, you got it, the Academy gave Morricone an achievement award. But, that's okay with me, I love that score!

Lambasted? I think you're mixing it up with Fallout.

Is that even possible?

[Bespin 8,472]

So no vote for Giacchino on this one?

[mstrox 6,637]

Jupiter Ascending would have had a better chance with me, but IMO anything Giacchino has written is hopeless against TFA (no diss).

[TheUlyssesian 2,473]

There are many good scores this year but come on. There is one that just towers over everything else.

Joe kramer was not a popular choice. He proved people wrong. 

 

Fallout, btw, is Tom Cruise's best film, has an effective score, and its fun as hell.

[crocodile 7,973]

It's fun but I prefer the two that came before. Having said that, I have seen it only once and probably should revisit it.

Any film featuring Rebecca Ferguson's behind is great in my book.

She is beautiful but I prefer Alex's better.

I used to think that but I revisited all three. Fallout is a satisfying conclusion to this "trilogy". The love story is bitter sweet.

 

i am sure Alex thinks Baldwin's butt is cuter, he will at least admit its furrier.

[Jules 59]

No question TFA, although Rogue Nation slaps

[Bespin 8,472]

I think we have a winner.
