However it's hard to beat these five distinctive themes. As soon as you hear them, you know what's coming on:

1. "Bridge Over the River Kwai"
2. "Lawrence of Arabia"
3. "Band of Brothers"
4. "Glory"
5. "Gettysburg"

"Lawrence of Arabia" soundtrack is my number one pick. The cinematography and music complement each other better than any other movie I've ever seen. "Dr. Zhivago" is a close second.

My fav tune is the theme from Kelley's Heroes - Burning Bridges

You can purchase the original song but you cannot purchase the sountrack from the movie with the arty strikes.

"Where Eagles Dare"


was just thinking, no-ones mentioned this yet - the opening tune, with the plane flying over the mountains - got you ready for a top, old style war film

well remembered

I always liked the theme to Rat Patrol, but that was on television.
