This is just epic, there is no other word for it. I like to think that in a hundred years, people watching this for the first time will still get shivers down their spines.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

The charge of the Rohirrim at Pelennor reminds me of the charge on Beersheba in "The Lighthorsemen." Pelennor was definitely of a much greater scope, but the build-up was in the speech and not the charge. Seeing those 2 Australian regiments charge across a couple kilometers of open ground was something else, even if the defenders didn't open fire until too late.
Another I really like is in "A Bridge Too Far," when the British trooper who swam the Rhine is told by general Sosebowski "tell your general we're coming." Those 5 words said it all!

"Waterloo" is such a great film. Rod Steiger WAS Napoleon.

The entire audience erupted in a big cheer during that scene in ROTJ. I was 10 years old when I watched ROTJ in the theatre and it still feels like it was yesterday.
