George 78 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The Battle of Britain by Ron Goodwin is one of the best. He also composed the music from Where Eagles Dare, 633 Squadron and Force 10 from Navarone. Ridley Scott intends to make his own BofB movie!

John Stambaugh 176 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The movie Battle of Britain. During air fighting the music sounded just as the swirling intensity of the aircraft. Gets my blood pumping to this day. AlanG 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ivanmoe 167 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Great suggestions above, and am particularly enamored of BoB's soundtrack. As runner-ups, some films that you might not think of as conventional "war movies"...

Jennings Heilig 15,639 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 BoB for me. Not strictly a "war" film, but another of my favorites that I listen to over and over is the soundtrack from "The Rocketeer" - I love James Horner's composing, plus it's got Melora Hardin (hubba hubba) singing big band tunes!
