I think my favorite film is Jurassic Park.

Its not the "best" film I have seen but for the memories and the giddy excitment of seeing it, it will always hold a spot for me.

The music, the first panning shot over a field full of amazing looking dinosours, the build up to the T-rex

Another good one was on one of the film channels the other night

"Breaker Morant"

With the epic closing line "shoot straight you bastards" though in last showing that line was cut..

Another good WW1 film is "Australian light horse" about the last ever cavalry charge at bathsheba..

Ps just before any smart alick jumps in Breaker Morant is about the boer war..

The Warriors was nowhere near as good and as you said the soundtrack was fantastic! Hard to pick a fav tune from it but if pushed id have to go for 'my boyfriends back' or maybe even 'big girls don't cry' oh I couldn't pick lol
