    With the '600' in the first two replies, thread over.
    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.
