Following the military theme...
And for actually showing a successful German armored assault, this one gets an A+ despite some inaccuracies.

All good, PJ. I've seen all of those. Stalingrad was great.
I got a question, how did the Afghan terrorist guy in Hurt Locker hit the barrett sniper without even having a scope on his AK-47 looking weapon?
Because if that is how they do it, no wonder the Allies have trouble there.

There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

The vastness of Australia is the real star in this awesome movie. It's a descent into madness like Apocalyps Now.
Keep trying to find a good video of the introduction of Jesus in Big Lebowski, but I'm not having much luck. This is the best I've found so far:
One of the greatest scenes in Lord of the Rings.
BLARGH!
I enjoyed the Stalingrad video. It's nice to see the Germans represented as soldiers for a change. (all politics aside)

Silence is beautiful
Indeed. Jackson mastered the mesh between music audio and the situation in the movie.
Another brilliant example of that:
0:45 The horn sound comes off condensed as the characters/camera/viewer is still inside the tower, but once the camera goes into the outside balcony, the horn sound disperses into it's surroundings, which coupled with Orc divisions as far as the eye can see, gives off a nice powerful effect.
1:05 Also an awesome cue to start the evil conquering music.
Simply brilliant. Editting of the highest quality.

The Nazi regime was abhorent. It's a shame they perverted nationalism like that.

"If there is a sin against life, it consists not so much in despairing as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this one."
Albert Camus "Noces"
This scene contains my bestest movie quote of all time.
"Will the dancing Hitlers please wait in the wings!"

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

My Summer of Love.
The film explores the relationship between two young women of different classes and family backgrounds. Great roles by both lead actresses. All set in mysterious and exotic Yorkshire!!
Love, zest and deceit - three of the movie's themes in this scene:

I don't know what possessed me to do it this time, but I counted the volleys; 18. Manned by what looks to be 12-man ranks, that makes over 200 chunks of lead launched downrange in less than 12 seconds. Quite a barrage.This is one of my favourites: (Zulu)
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Obvious spoiler for the movie, but I really like Pan's Labyrinth.
And, of course, St. Crispin's day speech:
And, a bit overdramatic on some of the bullet wounds, but a personal favorite nonetheless:
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Before my final football game this season I had my coach play last f the Mohicans theme in bagpipes when I walked onto the field. Epic? Oh hell yes
All o you are so bleak....excluding Louis who seems to like lesbians who destroy property....a stance I can get behind
