    Which Henry V do you mean? The Lawrence Olivier one or the Branaugh one? They are both really good even though the prior is much much older(1944, in color!).

    Tis a choice between

    The Shawshank Redemption
    Pulp Fiction
    The Ususal Suspects
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    Yeah it's danish, and quite brutal (about a son making a speech about the fathers abuse of him and his sister at his fathers birthday). Fine movie, shot in the "dogme"-style, ie. shaky, grainy, murky pictures.

    I get to name a picture too: "Crybaby"! A lovely musical with Johnny Depp.

    I liked both - however the Branaugh one if I remember correctly is done more like a play then the Lawrence Olivier film

    I much prefer the one with Branagh. The version with Olivier was cut to death. All the good stuff was cut down to single phrases. Bleah!

    Was looking for Henry V on DVD last weekend but couldn't find it. Try, try again.
