This might sound wierd but try the "Miracle" soundtrack. I was watching the movie yesterday and was thinkin how good some of that music would sound in various scenes in my WWII movie.

I think he is saying that the only reason people like the Saving Private Ryan soundtrack is because it was done by John Williams; and I agree with him.

Huh? I really don't give a s*** that it was done by John Williams; it's simply great music. Harry Gregson-Williams did a spectacular job on Spy Game, but that doesn't mean I'm automatically going to like the s*** he turned out on that one Japanese game... forget the name of it though.

I know i'm no where near as good as some of the tracks previously listed, but i've got a few "war-like" tracks that would fit in a war movie if you needed.. "The Forefront", "March of Beast", "Fort of Flight" are a few examples.

One of my favorite war movie tracks come from "We Were Soldiers Once and Young" and "Black Hawk Down". I really dig the driving military snare. Even though you never see a bloke with a snare drum, you can feel he's back there somewhere about to get blown to pieces. :)

You failed to realize that "Saving RYAN'S PRIVATES" is actually a movie created by a bunch of independant filmmakers as a spoof to "Saving Private Ryan." He wasn't talking about SPR!

No, it was an actual film! A story where a Private named Ryan get his family jewls blown off in battle and Miller's squad is on a mission to find them! They even had that soundtrack which I've seen for sale. I thought the movie was silly, but it does have good humor in it.

If you ever need some winning music for a death scene, go with "Flower Duet." Its from an opera, called either Delibes or Lakme. One's an artist, the other's the play. It's powerful and emotional, and hasn't been done to death.

I don't see why must we always resort to music that came from another war movie/mini-series/documentary. There's loads of good music out there that complement a war movie really well. Classical music is filled with good scores. I'm a great fan of "Flower Duet" when it comes to dying scenes, any other winning pieces of classical or classical like music out there we've used?
