Great list never heard Asterix Aux Jeux Olympiques or Un Homme et Son Chien. Both very good scores. I have some overlap with My favorite Top 10 scores of last 10 years. I was shocked that one video game did not make at least honorable mention.
Here’s mine in alphabetical order
Gravity, Steven Price
How to Train Your Dragon 1& 2, John Powell
Inception, Hans Zimmer
Journey, Austin Wintory
The Jungle Book, John Debney
Maleficent, James Newton Howard
Star Wars: The Last Jedi, John Williams
Tron: Legacy, Daft Punk and Joseph Trapanese
Wolf Totem, James Horner
Honorable mentions:
Soul Surfer, Marco Beltrami
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, John Williams
Never heard of Un Homme et Son Chien or Asterix Aux Jeux Olympiques. Both very good scores. My Top 10 and honorable mention have some overlaps. When you said video score I thought you were going to say Austin Wintory’s Grammy nominated score. Remember Me is very good, but I love Journey and Tina Guo’s cello playing better.
