A couple of mine that hasn't been mentioned yet is...

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon:

Where the two sisters are fighting near the end, and the evil sister has the powerful Green Destiny Sword, which is whooping the other ones ass... The good sister goes through all sorts of weapons to try and defeat her... Really cool.

The Matrix X100...

Also, I feel the battle sequences in The Thin Red Line (Newer Version) are among the very best...

The entirety of the drawn out 45 minute hill-battle, Two scouts go forward, and are killed... Everyone gets down... Everythings still, peaceful... Then as that one Luietenant jumps up and is riddled by bullets, harrowing stuff...

Storming that Japanese camp, being in the fog... and hearing the bullets whizing past... fucking creepy... Hans Zimmer's score really adds something here...

Then, there's the sequence on the river bed, where Pvt. Witt is killed... That's probably my favourite... I cried when that happened, he was a great guy...

The final battle in SPR, Helm's Deep, and a shitload of others that i probly cant remember right now



I think to be a great battle scene there needs to be a short period of forboding before the battle, so the tension gradual rises.

Enemy at the Gates was so unrealistic as far as sniping is concerned its not even funny.

Finally, someone else who thinks The Thin Red Line was a good movie.

In BoB when Speirs charges straight through the Germans to get in contact with a Platoon around the city, then he runs back through and the Germans just stand there looking at him all confused.

The ambush scene in Forrest Gump

The last fight scene in Platoon

All the scenes in Predator (Especially the part when that guy gets shot, and all the other soldiers come up and light up the forrest)

Fight at Carentan in BoB

Stalingrad is a good movie since it goes by the point of view of the Germans in Russia. The movie is 90% action for you action buffs out there. But, it is all in German and Russian.

He just had to run around and shit....I don't think he was in any close up shots, but I'm not sure....I don't think he was involved in any close up battle sequences....He was just kind of an extra.

He told me the suit was hot and sweaty and they were stuck out on the set for hours on end, in the early morning.
