"The Flame Still Burns" from Still Crazy. Great soundtrack from a movie that received little play in the US.

Second choice is the John Galt theme in Atlas Shrugged Part I.

Few today remember the 1941 British film "Dangerous Moonlight", either under that name or "Suicide Squadron" under which it was also released. It's a pretty decent film about the Poles who went to England to form a squadron of their own within the RAF to fight Hitler.

The producers first thought of using Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto as a theme, but everybody in London was using it in one movie or another. So they asked Richard Addinsell to compose some fake Rachmaninov for this film, and he and arranger Roy Douglas put it together. Douglas' arrangement in the style of Rachmaninov was so successful that even today people hear this movie theme and think it was written by the great Russian master.

Addinsell: "Warsaw Concerto"
