This won't take long in my case, I am very "old school" when it comes to film scores. I only own about 20 cd's from films of this decade, so hear goes.

My top three:
1. Monkey King (both cd's) - Christopher Young
2. Hot Potato - Guy Farley
3. Orville - John Debney & Various

The Rest:

4. Far From The Madding Crowd - Craig Armstrong
5. Heidi - Niki Reiser
6. Oz The Great And Powerful - Danny Elfman
7. Book Of Henry - Michael Giachino
8. Upstairs Down Stairs - Carl Davis & Various
9. Hitchcock - Danny Elfman

Not very exciting but it is what it is

Not alot of overlap so far!
Consensus is elusive , not like the prime of 1970 thru 2000.

Perhaps we are all using different criteria, such as prioritizing the film experience over the album experience or vice versa? Personally, I focus on how the scores work in their respective films; a good album is a bonus.

THE IMITATION GAME didn't make my list because I hadn't seen it yet, but it is definitely one of the top twenty scores of the decade!
