Have you watched the "Victory at Sea" series? I not, you might find it interesting. Surface, submarine (the Silent Service), naval aviation aspects covered in the series. Episodes are on YouTube.
Musical orchestral scores are great, in my opinion, and fit the episodes perfectly. Even around 10 years of age, I liked the music my parents had on the soundtrack album. One particular song would go thru my head when playing with my toy boats and subs in the bathtub LOL. Between that, and Mchale's Navy, I think is why I'd joined the Navy LOL.
From Wiki article:
Victory at Sea is a documentary television series about warfare in general during World War 2, and naval warfare in particular, as well as the use of industry in warfare. It was originally broadcast by NBC in the United States in 1952–1953. It was condensed into a film released in 1954. Excerpts from the music soundtrack, by Richard Rodgers and Robert Russell Bennett, were re-recorded for record albums. The original TV broadcasts comprised 26 half-hour segments... The series, which won an Emmy award in 1954 as "best public affairs program", played an important part in establishing historic "compilation" documentaries as a viable television genre.

The intro music is my bathtub song. Vid is 26 mins., episode 21, about sub warfare called "Full Fathom Five".
Since you watch the Netflix series repeatedly, my Dad was a Marine in the Pacific, Saipan and Tinian islands. If you see him, let me know...

Childhood memories, my father loved Victory At Sea. I think he bought a reel to reel just for that soundtrack.
Kung Fu Hustle
Big Trouble in Little China
Sharing two of my favorites with the kiddo.

The Ballad of Lucy Whipple.
It's not the typical old school Western I usually watch. This one was filmed in 2001.
Still, I enjoyed it as I do with most Westerns.

Hah! Kevin looks just like a longtime friend of mine who is retired from working in radio & TV (on the production side).
I've walked up something not too dissimilar, effectively, to that tower above, a couple of times; Moro Rock. Amazing hemispherical view from the top.He gets around, our Kevin.
Here he is, on his watch, down home, a while back. Must've been a delivery coming.
