Pardon me because this is off topic, but when I saw the video from Kingdom of Heaven I suddenly remembered it; Near the end of the sequence, there's this woman/chorus singing some hymn in what sounds like Latin (). It starts at 3:22 in the video. That has always intrigued me. I remember spending hours scouring the Internet to find a clue as to what they're singing, but none of the Latin hymn I came across seemed to have the same words.
If someone can tell me what she's singing, it'll make my day.

no man. the charge of the Rohirrim in the Return of the King is a lot better. that is probably the most awesome cavalry charge ive ever seen on film.

[Adrian II]

Hmm, I've always loved that version of the Eylau charge... Good stuff overall, guys, but that one surely has it. My favourite cavalry arm, cuirassiers, in one of the most bloody battles ever, Nappie working his way through a superior number of determined Russians under the brilliant Bennigsen. Nice dialogue, too. Typical arrogant Murat: 'We have the honour of showing the Emperor what we are capable of.' Typical cynicism of Napoléon. 'Do you think they will succeed?' 'No, but it's magnificent anyway.'

Ah, the good old days.

That does it. I'll have to rent Mongol from my local library.

This is my favorite.

Maybe it looks good, but the orks just bounce off the horses with no impact on the horses at all, that seems rather overdone, I liked some of the other scenes better.

[Kagemusha]

I actually liked Faramir´s charge better:

[Prince Cobra]

Good work, Kage. That's my favourite. Love the drama, love the music, love the red juice trickling down the mouth of the Steward. I feel the urge to watch the film again.

Come on, does no one know what she's singing?

I'll find you a better version.

[Hooahguy]

I cant find a version of it on youtube but the cavalry charge in Gladiator is pretty epic.

[A Nerd]

Here is another one I like. Though some of you chaps may have seen it already.

[The Stranger]

this battle is pretty nice

[The Stranger]

Alexander at Gaugamela


Alexander At Gaugamela (longer better version but sadly in spanish... making it also pretty funny XD)


Alexander vs Porus

That you were here this day at Gaugamela! (Shakespeare)
FREEEEEEEEDDOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!! (Braveheart)

Do you want to live forever?!?! (Alleged quote of Frederick the Great or some US Marine)

My Name is Nobody (charge scene starts a@ 3:20)

My Name is Nobody (charge scene starts a@ 3:20)

Ha! "A hundred and fifty pure-bred sons of bitches on horseback and you facin' em - alone."

Great movie that.

"They Ride Like Thousands..."

[Adrian II]

"They Ride Like Thousands..."

I like this scene even better. One hundred and fifty Spanish hicks on horseback.

And yet another impeccable Morricone score.

[Peasant Phill]

Is that me or do both westerns use Wagner's 'ride of the valkyries'?

[Adrian II]

It's one and the same western. And yes, Ennio Morricone's score has a trumpet line using the Valkyrie Ride theme.
