Top 10 2013 Movies with the Best Soundtracks

1. Man of Steel

   

   One of the top Hans Zimmer soundtracks! Absolutely amazing. It captures the essence of superhero blockbuster thrills. It will make you tear up and then make you jump out of your seat in excitement at all the right moments. All the tracks are magnificent and filled with intensity and emotion. A favorite!

   "If You Love These People" is the best thing ever!

2. Oblivion

   

   This is already an aesthetically pleasing movie, but the soundtrack only makes it that much better, mixing in blends of Hans Zimmer-like tracks with more soothing and ambient sounds, all to make for a memorable movie and soundtrack.

   Joseph Kosinski films always seem to have great music. Tron Legacy had Daft Punk, and this movie's soundtrack by M83 is phenomenal. It's ambient and atmospheric, drawing you into the world and also reflective of the sadness of all that was lost. Also, the end credits song featuring Susanne Sundfør is great. The whole soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful.

3. Gravity

   

   A stunning soundtrack for a masterpiece of a film. Favorite soundtrack and film of the year!

4. Captain Phillips

   

   Henry Jackman succeeds in making a unique and intense score for a movie in this genre. It's brilliant and helps emphasize the suspense and dread really well. It complements the movie exquisitely. A beautiful yet fierce soundtrack. Loved every single track in Captain Phillips. One of my favorite scores and movies of the year.

5. The Great Gatsby

   

6. Prisoners

   

   Beautiful and chilling. Prisoners is a masterpiece in every aspect.

7. Spring Breakers

   

   An awesome mix of great songs along with Cliff Martinez's score.

8. Pacific Rim

   

   Absolutely magnificent! One of the best blockbuster soundtracks that grabs you with its intensity and excitement, which goes along perfectly with the movie. A grand, cool, and beautiful score for an amazing film.

9. The Place Beyond the Pines

   A dark, beautiful, and brooding soundtrack composed by Mike Patton. The additional music by Arvo Pärt, among others, is so gorgeous and used so brilliantly. Plus, the Ennio Morricone track is wonderful and fits perfectly. Every single piece of music in The Place Beyond the Pines is stunning and fits like a glove. Love this movie!

10. The Wolverine

    

    Excellent! An unconventional "superhero action" soundtrack, yet perfectly fitting. A terrific blend of western, noir, and superhero intensity. Beltrami, who has been nominated for multiple Academy Awards, makes one of his most exciting and best scores so far. A magnificent movie with a superb soundtrack.
