Best Battles seen in movies...

[Accounting Troll]

The final battle in Spartacus was impressive for its day.

Some of the uniforms and weapons aren't quite right, and they had to guess at the tactics because the Romans felt slightly embarrased about fighting mere slaves instead of the best that rival nations had to offer, and so they didn't record how the battle went in much detail. However, all the extras they employed give you a good idea how powerful the discipline and organisation of the Roman army actually was, and how frightening it must have been to be opposing them.

These days the film makers can get away with just using a couple of hundred extras and let the computer generated special effects do the real work.

besides the ones mentioned already I'd have to say I enjoyed the battles in Troy. It might not have been the best, but it certainly was entertaining - the archers pelting the Greeks and the compact Trojans slowly advancing against them - the band of Achilles taking the beach was rather nice, though a little unrealistic it was cool to see the tactics of a small unit as that work so seamlessly.
