The Lego Movie (blocks of fun) Captain America: The Winter Soldier (brrrrrific) The Railway Man (chugga chugga) Godzilla (fireballs to the wall) Maleficent (hornalicious) How to Train Your Dragon 2 (too many scales)
Dawn of the Planet of the Boxtrolls is on my wish list...
None ... but then I haven't seen any 2014 release films (of which I'm aware).
I'm generally working at least 2 or 3 years behind with Skyfall being the only concurrent purchase in the last five years. I have a few releases from this period but these are blind buys and would have been at least 12 months after release.
I suppose that's one of the downsides of not going to the cinema anymore ... or wanting to buy new DVD/BD releases. How that differs from my youth when I'd rush to get the OST after seeing a film ...
Perhaps I should re-visit this thread and update my post .. in 2016/7
Mr. Peabody and Sherman (Elfman) Muppets Most Wanted (Beck) Captain America: The Winter Solider (Jackman) - digital X-Men Days of Future Past (Ottman) Guardians of the Galaxy (Bates)
By year's end I will definitely be picking up:
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (Giacchino) Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt 1 (Newton Howard) The Hobbit: BotFA (Shore) - both versions
This is about on-par with what I get in a typical year. Most of my score budget goes towards the more expensive catelog releases from our labels. I don't see many movies in theaters, so I'm sure I'll pick up more 2014 scores in the future when I come across ones I like on Netflix.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Captain America: Winter Soldier.
HTTYD2 was an instant winner. It’s a score I play so much I have to take breaks from it.
CA2 had to grow on me. If I get rid of The Winter Soldier it gets a lot more listenable. Maybe Fury. But The Smithsonian and Taking a Stand get played a lot.

And would buy Alan Silvestri's Cosmos (all 4 volumes) if it were available on physical disc.
But among my habits in 2014 is listening to albums on Spotify, which means that I haven't bought some albums that I would have bought in recent years. These include (top of head):
X-Men Days of Future Past Desplat's Godzilla A Walk Among the Tombstones Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Guardians of the Galaxy

Okay..... none of the above
Of all the titles mentioned on this thread so far, I'm only really keen to get Budapest Hotel, but haven't yet got around to it.
