Oh, movie theme… never mind…

Neither. They are maybe the best prisoner camp war movies.
My top war films (and two of my top five favorite films) are:
Lawrence of Arabia
Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N. (1951)
And I would also put up for top war films:
The Longest Day (1962)
Das Boot
Of all those, I’d say Lawrence of Arabia is the best film; The Longest Day is the most war-film-like, and so perhaps the best at being a war film; Captain Horatio Hornblower is perhaps the most fun and happiest story, and Das Boot the most grim, tense and revealing, and perhaps the most realistic.

Well, let’s see, the music… um…
Lawrence of Arabia and Das Boot both have great music. The Great Escape’s music is really good too. As is Star Wars’, if that counts. The music from Patton was one of my favorites for a long time – the main theme is really good.
