Now for something different...here are my top 10 movie battles...
1. Omaha Beach (Saving Private Ryan): Actual Omaha Beach Vets claimed it was too real.
2. Battle of Stirling (Braveheart): Completely inaccurate; but Mel gives a great speech.
3. Pearl Harbor (Tora Tora Tora): The defining moment in perhaps the defining World War II film.
4. Little Round Top (Gettysburg): Out of Ammo? Affix bayonets and charge! The Rebs won't know what hit them!
5. The Death Star (Star Wars): No one had ever seen anything like this before. Now, the ending might be considered cliche.
6. Germania (Gladiator): Does a great job showing the Roman Tortoise and Roman Discipline; Shows how they could conquer.
7. Ft. Wagner (Glory): As the dead are buried, they are all shoeless...symbolic of the whole film.
8. Helicopter Raid (Apocalypse Now): Flight of the Valkyries, Robert Duval, Napalm, Surfing; an allegory for the entire Vietnam War.
9. Helms Deep (LOR: The Two Towers): The greatest land battle in fantasy/sci fi movie history
10. Battle of the News Crews (Ron Burgundy): Brick killed a man with a trident!
