The Alamo - Requiem - Original Soundtrack (End Title Record) by Carter Burwell

The Alamo is a 2004 American war film about the Battle of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. It is the second major studio film about the battle, following John Wayne's 1960 film of the same name. The film was directed by Texan director John Lee Hancock, and produced by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Mark Johnson.

Historical drama detailing the 1835-36 Texas revolution before, during, and after the famous siege of the Alamo (February 23-March 6, 1836) where 183 Texans (American-born Texans) and Tejanos (Mexican-born Texans) commanded by Colonel Travis, along with Davey Crockett and Jim Bowie, were besieged in an abandoned mission outside San Antonio by a Mexican army of nearly 2,000 men under the personal command of the dictator of Mexico, General Santa Anna, as well as detailing the Battle of San Jacinto (April 21, 1836) where General Sam Houston's rag-tag army of Texans took on and defeated Santa Anna's army which led to the indepedence of Texas.

@JarheadM4A1 Thanks for commenting!

The 1960 version was a well done movie, but HIGHLY inaccurate. If you want the truth, the closer version is the 2004 Alamo. Current historians believe that,from personal records of Mexican soldiers after the fact, that Crockett was one of the survivors killed after the seige. Plus, I have to say that the newer version has a very awesome soundtrack. Thanks for posting this.

Just watched the John Wayne film again which in turn made me want to look up the soundtrack for the newer film.

All I can say is both films are very good, both with their strong points.

@bosoxx44 It seems the United States of America is the only nation in the world who remembers those who helped them with freedom. Its a shame many Europeans have forgotten why they are free today. Those who breathe free air in the world can thank American sons, daughters, mothers and fathers for it, but we don't brag about it, we just remember. Thanks.

I love going to the Alamo. I live in Houston and a proud Texan. It nearly makes me tear up to think of the men that paid the ultimate debt just to make their land free. I also live about maybe 10 miles from the San Jacinto Monument. It's nothing quite like it to walk on the field that Sam Houston grazed.

A favorite retelling of the Alamo siege for me even more than any film is Texas historian Jack Jaxon's graphic novel 'The Alamo: An Epic Told From Both Sides'

I have seen the 1960 version and the 2004 version. Yes it can be said that in John Waynes film there are some historical innaccuracies,but quite often reality can seem a little boring or mundane,so for dramatic effect Hollywood steps in. I prefer the 2004 film because they had gone to great lengths to re-create the clothes and weapons of that time,also the building of an exact copy of San Antonio as it was at the siege of the Alamo.In my view it was as close to reality as I've seen in any film.

@victor5812 PC does have a habit of that.  I believe history should be taught the way it really happened...show all of history, warts and all.

[victor5812]

The reason this film failed at the box office is because it was ambiguous. PC run amok, once again.

The 1960s version had some great drumming, anyone know where I can find that?

Thank you for this video. This Texan is very proud of every man that gave his life and this video touches me deeply.

Please remember the Europeans who fought and died by YOUR side...you were not alone.....!
