It helps that we got a shocking number of dazzling musicals, as well as new features from filmmakers like Richard Linklater and the Lonely Island crew, but even with just straight soundtracks I’d say that this was the best year for the meeting of the two mediums since the auditory bliss that was 2010.
I’ve written the Best Movie Music Moments column for Cinema Blend since 2009, and I can tell you that this year was an incredibly special year from music in film.
Of course, this also made it incredibly hard to settle on a Top 10 list.
