Well there's one big score missing here and it's The Last Jedi which I think the best score from 2017 by far

Other honorable mentions:

  • The Post by John Williams (the second best one in my opinion)
  • The Shape of Water by Alexandre Desplat
  • The Hitman's Bodyguard by Atli Övarsson (a great surprise both as a movie and a score)
  • Going in Style by Rob Simonsen (same as above)
  • Transformers: The Last Knight by Steve Jablonsky
  • Coco by Michael Giacchino (perhaps one of my top 3 from this composer)
  • War for the Planet of the Apes by Michael Giacchino
  • Spider-Man: Homecoming by Michael Giacchino
  • Thor: Ragnarok by Mark Mothersbaugh
  • Hostiles by Max Richter
  • Kingsman: The Golden Circle by Henry Jackman
  • Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle by Henry Jackman
  • Okja by Jaeil Jung
  • Ghost in the Shell by Lorne Balfe

 

[Edit] I forget some:

  • Dear Basketball by John Williams (the second best esquals with The Post)
  • A Cure for Wellness by Benjamin Wallfisch
  • Three Billboards by Carter Burwell
  • Darkest Hour by Mario Marianelli
  • Murder on the Orient Express by Patrick Doyle

My favourite film score of 2017 is SKYGGENES DAL [VALLEY OF SHADOWS] (Zbigniew Preisner).

 

Alas, I'm not a big fan of any of the poll options, but I suppose if someone put a gun to my head, I'd say PHANTOM THREAD.

 

And yes...my podcast about the best film scores of 2017 is here.

The only other one I've heard was the Giacchino - in the film - which I think was alright and hasn't really left a trace in my memory, and I know I should really check out Greenwood someday, but my vote goes to Stalin because it's really an excellent and convincing Shostakovich pastiche.

  • Murder on the Orient Express by Patrick Doyle

 

For a reason or another, the IFMCA prefered Jonny Greenwood's score over Doyle's one that year...  I have yet to listen to that Greenwood...
