And pretty much most of Good Morning Vietnam is about how important music was to American troops during the Vietnam War.
The scene in Zulu where the Welshmen sing 'Men of Harlech' is iconic. IIRC there's also a reference to the Regimental choir earlier on in the film, something about how Michael Caine's character allows it even although he's an Englishman, words to that effect.
