This thread reminds me of the only good scene in "Sleepless in Seattle"

Sam Baldwin: Well I'm not looking for a mail-order bride! I just want somebody I can have a decent conversation with over dinner. Without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie!
Greg: She's, as you just saw, very emotional.
Sam Baldwin: Although I cried at the end of "the Dirty Dozen."
Greg: Who didn't?
Sam Baldwin: Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin
[Begins to cry]
Sam Baldwin: were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...
Greg: [Crying too] Stop, stop!
Sam Baldwin: And Trini Lopez...
Greg: Yes, Trini Lopez!
Sam Baldwin: He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...
Greg: Stop.
Sam Baldwin: And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...
Greg: [Crying harder] Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie.

I just realised no one has mentioned Das Boot soundtrack! Excellen stuff!

I nearly mentioned it as well. Compared to other works it gets a bit too repetetive over time but only if you separate it from the movie context.

I always thought the movie excells in those scenes where music is absent. It is one of the few movies I have ever seen where the music
does not attempt to create suspense, but quite the opposite, it tells you to relax.

Exodus
Hatari
The Magnificent Seven

Yey!!! While there a ton of good songs mentioned in the tread, I kept waiting for someone to mention "The Magnificent Seven".

I'm just a simple country boy who use to cheer for Roy Rogers and a Calvary charge.

Thank Akira Kurasawa and The Seven Samurai for that.

[Buck Beach]

So glad they were able to wrestle the rights away from Anthony Quinn (as good as he was). Standout stars such as Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Colburn, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn and Eli Wallach as the heavy were all cool (not to mention the kid with his trying the clap test). All that and the music too.

BTW I liked the Guns of Navarone music and movie also. Saw it the first time in Waikiki (I was a kid in the Navy) when it first came out.

Yep, divorces tend to do that. I lost most of my personal mementos in 1978, book's, photos etc. Saved my fishing gear, guns and a few clothes. Naked beginning with my second wife.

[John 3rd]

Did your 2nd wife LIKE that??!! [:D]

I don't know to what extent people bother to listen to music that is recommended on these types of thread (I personally find them great sources of music I otherwise may never have heard of) but given some of the responses - Braveheart, The Mission, Last of the Mohicans etc) I would thoroughly recommend you give this a go.

This is an album by the Portugese composer Brunuhville. His music is described as a mix of Celtic, Gothic, Folk and Orchestral. As far as I know, the music from this album has never been used as a soundtrack...but it should be! Please give this a try. Some of the tracks are growers, but there are a number of "immediate" songs that are truly beautiful; Memories, Dragonland, The Nightingale, Vampire Tales, hell, there all so damn good!

I would be interested to know what people think
