OT: Best battle scene in movie

I like the battle of the bastards, but GRRM always had a way of someone swooping in at the last moment to save things.
Worst battle was the Battle of Winterfel that was filmed in complete darkness.
The entire Dothraki Horde defeated in about 40 seconds.... come on.

I started watching Games of Thrones this week. I am in the first season. Have they not invented the missionary position in this world?
I liked the final assault on Hamburger Hill. Although it wasn't really pleasant watching our boys get shot like that. Then when they finally get near the top to take it over, our own stupid helicopter door gunners start mowing down our own soldiers after confusing them for the enemy. That was a real bummer to watch.
I agree about the response to 9/11, but that is not in the same universe as the D Day invasion. And as to how we would respond today, I would have to see it to believe it would be similar. I think a lot has changed in the last 20 years.
Forbidden Planet, the crew battling the monster from the id at the starship. Still trying to figure out why the crew members ran up to the monster to kick arse.
In the early morning before the 1st wave hit the beach there was a B-17 attack on the beach defenses. Most of the bombs fell to far inland and missed the intended targets.
Thank God Hitler was sleepy, stupid and high. The Germans had the forces to drive the allies back into the water. They just couldn't wake his meth *** up to give orders to release the available troops.
Most people do not know about the Nazi meth addiction in the upper ranks. It was not just hitler.
Yall need to buy the unrated cut of Alexander and watch the opening battle. It’s been described even by historians as the most realistic recreation of an ancient battle ever made.
It wasn't just the upper ranks. It was issued to their line soldiers as well.
I liked them both but I thought the 2019 version of "Midway" was very well done.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
Children of Men the city fighting at the end. Seemed it would be exactly like that in real life.
I liked how they made it a focus in the movie about how important naval intelligence was to winning Midway. I found a copy of Edwin Laytons book he wrote about it all. Pretty fascinating if you’re into that kind of stuff.
They issued Pervitin (meth pill) to basically all their troops. I am a little sketchy about the details, but I think there was an entire Nazi battalion that thought they were under attack outside Leningrad. They were hallucinating and the Russians found them out of ammo and asleep after they passed out.
