It wasn't a movie, but a TV series back in the 50's. Wonderful military videos from WWII narrated and accompanied by the music written just for the show. You can listen to some of it here

Trainspotting, Natural Born Killers, and Pulp Fiction get honourable mentions...

ESPECIALLY NATURAL BORN KILLERS!
________________________________________

A good soundtrack is apart of what makes the movie great for me.

Natural Born Killers has all of the elements of a great movie.

Ennio Morricone rocks!

If you never heard the Conan soundtrack, it’s right up there with the spaghetti westerns, I recommend it highly.

I also love Citizen Kane, Once Upon a Time in the West, Patton, The Conversation, and many other classic films. It would be too many to list here.

Just tried..heard about 2 secomds and I can't listen to any more.

However, I feel "The World At War" was a much more resounding TV track.

2 seconds out of literally hours of music hardly does it justice.

I've never seen/heard "The World at War", so I can't comment on it.

Wasn't a movie (TV series), but good call; I own the soundtrack and DVD Collectors Edition!

Richard Rodgers and Russell Bennett did create a musical masterpiece for the series....

How can anyone forget the terrific movie soundtracks to the movies “Fandango”, “Dances with Wolves”, “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “Jaws”, “The Godfather Parts I and II”, “Risky Business”, “Saving Private Ryan”, and all other movie soundtracks composed by either John Williams, Henry Mancini (The Pink Panther), or Bernard Hermann (Taxi Driver, and many Alfred Hitchcock films)?

A lot of good ones listed here. From “The Last of the Mohicans”, “2001”, “LOTR” and “O Brother Where Art Thou”.

I would also throw “The Commitments” into the mix.
