Theme from the Dutch film Soldaat van Oranje ( aka Soldier of Orange, directed by Paul Verhoeven ) from 1977 with Rutger Hauer and Jeroen Krabbé. If you hear that tune you'd think that the Second Worldwar was a boys funadventure! The film is based on the memoires of Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema, a Dutch resistance fighter who worked for the British Secret service during the Englandspiel and was Mosquito pilot during the latter stages of the war. He ended WW2 as the adjudant of Her Royal Highness Queen Wilhelmina of Orange! Great movie but I don't know if it's known in the Americas and other parts of the world, hence this explanation..

 

I also like the movietheme of Kelly's Heroes ( and I love that movie, Clint and Telly Rule! ), the openingscore of Apocalypse Now! , just to mention a few more.. Not to forget all scores by Ennio Morricone, that man is a genius!! :twothumbup: Remember The Good, the Bad and the Ugly? Spaghettywesterns made by Sergio Leone rule!

The Little Mermaid

Jungle Book

Military: I didn't care for the film, but Inglorious Basterds had a great soundtrack.

 

But, my all-time favorite is Back to the Future.

[Bugme]

Joyeux Noel(beautiful musical score)

 

Bridge Over The River Kwai(gotta love the Brits whistling)

 

The Longest Day(dadadadum & of course the closing score)

Band of Brothers(haunting but memorable theme score)

Patton(what else can you say? It personifies Patton)

 

American Graffiti(Who can beat 50's Rock-N-Roll, a warm Friday night cruise & street racing?)

[Bugme]

The Little Mermaid

Jungle Book

You forgot to include: Song Of The South

Platoon's theme song was Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. A classic.

I saw this movie on French TV many years ago and it is a great one. Rutger Hauer is one of my favorite actor.

[BILL THE PATCH]

Bill just reminded me...how about the "Indiana Jones" theme by the great John Williams..also his "Star Wars" and "Superman" themes. Stirring stuff! I like the theme from the "A-Team" too!

Just about any 30's, 40's, 50's and early 60's Warner Brothers War Movies with music by Max Steiner.

[Jack's Son]

Although predictable for an AUSSIE film, the score from "On The Beach".

Before the burn-out, I loved that movie.

Thought of another: To Kill A Mockingbird. Elmer Bernstein was a genius! Great movie, too.
