Best Epic Battles in Movies !!

The best epic battles,
well, one of my favorites was ¨the battle at Helm´s Deep¨ (The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers). and I spacialy liked the part were they had almost no hope, then they see that the Elf army has arived to help and it brings hope again.
-and who wouldn´t be happy, with an army as efective as the elfs, even I go to war-
The one in Return Of The King was good too, but the ¨living dead peaple¨ killed all the fun.

The other battles I´ve liked are,
-the Jedis agains the droid army and the Clone Battle
-the big Robots Vs, the centinels (matric revolutions)
-the destruction of the Death Star (return of the jedi)
-the Dominion war (DS9)(more or less)

the first 3 listed under your "other battles ive liked" are also some of my fave. as for LOTR, well just refer to my sig ;)

-Saving Private Ryan, first 20 min and the last battle
-Any battle scene from Band Of Brothers (they're all equally good, and IMHO, the best battle scenes)
-Black Hawk Down, need i say more?
-Chronicles of Riddick "the invasion" scene (in the beginning sorta, where that planet gets fuckin own3d in 1 night)
-Gladiator (Ridley Scott is your "epic" king i guess, since he also directed BHD)

you guys have named all my favorites already....

i've got a couple more... not as big and fancy as the ones you named... but still

The Last Samurai, the last battle...
Braveheart, almost all the battles scenes... (bloddy = :)) ...:devil:

oh and btw... all the battle scenes on "LOTR return of the king" were awsome....

gonna think of some more now.... cya later

i saw a pretty old film the other day. it was on during the day time, set in probably normandy. same sort of feel as saving private ryan. there was about half an hour when they were fighting tigers. great battles even though you never see blood.


if anyone knows what i'm talking about tell me


and what ive seen of lawrence of arabia that looks pretty cool. never actually seen more than clips though

Last Samurai here too, not the best battle I've ever seen but that bit at the end with the machine gun was pretty intense. Still remember it.

Beta me to it. Good pick

Ben Hur has one of the best battle scences ever. About 40,000 ppl battling. That was b4 all the special effects and such. All real. Anyway, best ever has to go to Saving Private Ryan.

You know what will be good?
the battles in ¨STAR WARS EPISODE III: Revenge Of The Sith¨...
just imagine,
The last of the Jedi, facing the heartless attack of the evil forces of the dark side,
feeling, as the intro for episode 2 said, overwelmed,
having one ofthe most powerful jedi of them all, turned to the dark side agains them,
Obi Wan facing his once Padwan.
The decimated army of the republic being exterminated by the forces of the dark side.
Ho Dam it, I can´t wait!

sorta agree on there, Band Of Brothers is number 1 followed by Saving Private Ryan simply cuz BoB is 5 times longer than SPR and it's way more indepth. I guess number 3 could go to Thin Red Line followed by Apocalypse Now (redux vers)

No epic battles in FMJ, but still a great film!

not a lot of people liked "pearl harbor"... but i think the main fighting scene (and the other little ones as well) were really awsome...

@ofbz, it was epic yes, but way too over-emphasized (but then again the thing is about pearl harbour)
