Hands down!
No contest!
Not even close for any other composer or score:
Michael Giacchino's "John Carter"!!!
Agreed. It is a masterpiece and just pips out both How to Train Your Dragon scores for me.
I think I might agree with you guys...

Try to name just one.
Mine is without a doubt:
LINCOLN by John Williams
I simply love the Maestro's music for the film. Superbly Powerful and Beautifully Heartbreaking!
Wonderful in the film itself and away from the film, I find it a richly satisfying listen in every way.
His "With Malice Towards None" Theme made me cry on initial hearing and does so every time I hear it now. "Freedom's Call" is probably my favorite Cue/Track.
5 years before that, I would choose Danny Elfman's MILK and John Williams' WAR HORSE.
Hey thanks. I love Lincoln too.
Please share yours. Thanks.

This is a good question... not the 'best' scores of the last 5 years, but my favorites? There are some that I might rank with or even above these as far as the quality of the music as I understand it, but here are my favorites:
Without a doubt, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. I'm still blown away by the amount of energy and creativity that John Williams put together in this incredible work.
Also, John Powell's HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2. His score to the first was absolutely amazing, robbed of an Academy Award. In the sequel score he brings back the great themes of the first film and develops them further, while also mixing in new incredible themes. Powell's work on these two films are among the best of this century thus far.
I also keep playing James Horner's WOLF TOTEM all the time, and not just for nostalgia due to his still-too-recent death - it's a wonderful and creative work, and while it has fingerprints of some of his previous works, it overall is something of a departure for him (at least from his work that I'm familiar with.
