Richard Rodgers' Victory at Sea theme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3dwsRSA6KE Where Eagles Dare, main theme by Ron Goodwin notice how perfectly it works in with the opening credits and scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XKGhG0W0LQ very creative use of snare drum to suggest machine gun fire . . . Goodwin is a very British composer, there are some echoes of Elgar Jerry Goldsmith's Patton is a case where the score really is part of the story, telling you about the subject "the sound of distant trumpets" isn't a metaphor here; maybe the most literally biographical score I can think of . .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYikwBekPI0 Last edited by deepsepia; April 29th, 2015 at 12:30 AM.. |

The theme from Patton - stayed in my head for days after I first saw the movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu11QRO9BrQ Dupe, sorry - thought I looked twice before I posted it. I'll add Garry Owen from Rough Riders and various other films. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAYbLdpghRA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m7RPjQxjmA and Panzerlied from Battle of the Bulge - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JDkdc246QQ Bonnie Blue Flag from the Horse Soldiers - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZKxXNzjfPk Non Nobis and Te Deum from Henry V - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPXXuEel0fU Last edited by Rogerbh; April 29th, 2015 at 07:35 PM.. |

Some great movies and music listed here.
I kind of enjoy war movies as a total package, good story, good to look at and good to listen to as well. Three that immediately come to my mind are Lawrence of Arabia, Bridge on the River Kwai, and Patton. and a fourth, Battle of the Bulge. |

Though it left a lot to be desired as war movies go, I thought Ron Goodwin's theme from Force 10 From Navarone was quite good.

Force 10 From Navarone? The music's better than the film...
Battle of the Bulge: The irony is that the composer was Jewish, and only uses one verse of the actual song. Another one where the music's better than the film is Jerry Goldsmith's for "MacArthur" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00SKQXU4WM4 |

There was a similar piece of music to the trumpet part of the Patton theme in another war film called Go Tell The Spartans about the Vietnam war. It might have even been the same piece used.

Another Jerry Goldsmith - I'll add a link when not on a phone - it used to be hard to find. But I add the main theme from "The Blue Max"

The main theme from The Battle of Britain (1970) has been mentioned: but there are two other tracks in that film which ought to be mentioned too. Most of the filmscore was completely re-written because the original composer, William Walton was way past his best and did a rather poor job on his commission for this film, so they replaced him with Ron Goodwin, who wrote a much better filmscore. But on Goodwin's own advice the producers retained the one and only really good and original theme Walton had composed, covering the climactic battle of 15th September 1940 when the Germans mounted an all-out attack on Central London by daylight and every serviceable aircraft RAF Fighter Command had in SE England rose up to defend London like a pack of dogs. The theme really reinforces the sense of wild chaos of that day, when RAF Fighter Command had absolutely nothing else left to give.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43zVRey2XEs The other really fine theme from this movie is the utterly magnificent Luftwaffe March, ironically a staple and alway requested tune whenever any RAF orchestra performs in public. It was Ron Goodwin's best tune in the film IMHO...so he gave it to the Germans. It is actually a British compliment to the courage and the strength of our flying enemies in the most critical battle Britain had fought since Trafalgar 1805. It made me watch the film feeling like these fine men were worthy to be our enemies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNVVoH9-QH0
