I have seen Gods & Generals only once - unlike Gettysburg (and while it was a good movie, the book Killer Angels was much better). It was a long time agao and I cannot recall any of the music from Gods & Generals. I will have to relisten to the soundtrack and get back to you. Thanks for the advice.
Have you read the book either 'Gods & Generals' or 'Killer Angles'? I hear there is a sequal to Killer Angels called The Last Full Measure.

I've gotta agree with Blackhawk Down, the music in that movie is just so moving.
Man on Fire has a great soundtrack in my opinon.
Hart's War is another one... I love that soundtrack.

The Man from Snowy River.
I smuggled it in to Robin Sage. It was great to listen to in the poncho hootch on cold November nights. My hootch-man (an 2nd generation Italian) brought in a few opera tapes. He got me hooked on that. Besides I like horseys.

I'm sorry, but this list reminded me of the scene in Wedding Singer where the guy pulls up in the DeLorean blasting the soundtrack from Miami Vice. Thief was a great movie but the soundtrack??? To each his own.
For me, the best movie soundtrack was Pulp Fiction. A close runner up is Apocalypse Now or any movie that leans on the Rolling Stones: Fallen (w/Denzel Washington), The Devil's Advocate, or Interview With a Vampire (it was Guns n Roses doing a Stones song, but still..)

The soundtrack from the animated movie "Heavy Metal". I first saw the movie during a late-night showing at a post theater during jump school at Ft. Benning. Nothing like a theater full of slightly inebriated, almost paratroopers yelling "AIRBORNE!!!!" when the vintage corvette is dropped from the mother ship to the song "Radar Rider".

While the movie leaves much to be desired, I like the "Stones" influenced soundtrack to "Air America" with Gibson and Downey, Jr.

Verdi's Overture to the Force of Destiny, performed on a harmonica in "Jean de Florette" is my favorite music in a movie. It was recently used in a Stella Artois ad, as well.

A sample.
The "Lord of War" soundtrack is also pretty good.

Good scene, but IMHO, it doesn't hold a candle to BG Lew Armistead's speech to COL Freemantle before Pickett's Charge.

I do not have a particular favourite part in Gettysberg - I enjoy the movie as a whole. I must say though there is something about Chamberlain that fascinates me. I read his biography and even went down to Bowdoin College to see his house/museum, grave site and Medal of Honor. Unfortunately his house/museum was closed. I did get to see his medal though. He had a rather impressive career and to think, he was a teacher . . .

Speeches aside, another memorable part of the movie would have to be Chamberlain's command to fix bayonets and charge. That scene brings tingles to my spine every time I watch it.
I walked the grounds where he gave this historic order. That was one hell of a gutsy move - not that he had much choice mind you . . .
