AR Nugget: Ben’s Favorite Movie Music of 2014
Manage episode 64076646 series 52343
While I’ve still got a handful of movies from last year I still want and need to see, all or most of the music from the 2014 film year remains accessible. So I’m not ready to make a top 10 list of my favorite movies, but I do feel good about this list of my favorite movie music.
Personally, I feel like 2014 was an exceptional year for it. We heard career best original work from some of the industry’s best composers like Hans Zimmer, Alexandre Desplat and the duo of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, plus an array of pop songs used beautifully in memorable scenes I won’t soon forget.
In fact, those three composers deserve special recognition for the jobs they did on three specific films, although their work appears in multiple movies in 2014, some of which landed on this list.
It’s hard to pick one true favorite piece of music from the 2014 film year. As you’ll read below, there’s a ton of good stuff out there. If pressed, my favorite scores came from “Interstellar,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and “Gone Girl,” and I’d give my favorite soundtrack or song compilation to “Inherent Vice.”
