Ok. Well, were never going to agree. I like battles with real people. I just find alot more impressive and creates more tension knowing that this is what happenend to soldiers. If those battles were done in CGI, i would not like them, cause its fake. Why should i care about people dying if i know that its just a computer image.
On the other hand, i know that CGI is hard and it would probalby take alot of time and difficulty to do it. But hey, im an old fashioned guy who likes movies sometimes without CGI.

But in LOTR its not what really happen 😛 I see what you mean 😉
i'd say saving private ryan was the most unrelenting, braveheart would be the most emotional. Zulu was a great scene but better have been accoomplished since then, kill bill was entertaining but not amongst the ranks of best battle scenes. That is about it on that list, atleast in my opinion. I mean old jacki chan movies are better than the pearl harbor and glory battles,and especially the patriot, what a disgrace that movie was
Braveheart - All battles (village, hill fort, sterling, york, falkirk)
Zulu - Final battle
LOTR:ROTK - Pellenor Fields
LOTR:TTT - Helms deep
LOTR:FOTR - prologue
Saving Private Ryan - Omaha Beach
Enemy at the gates - Blitzkreig at Stalingrad
Kill Bill - Crazy 88's
Pearl Harbour - Initial bombings
Gladiator - Initial Battle
SW:AOTC - Geonosis Battle
Troy - Seige of Troy (havn't seen it yet, but it should be cool)
Revolutions - Battle for Zion
Sparticus
Lawrence of Arabia
The Best Battle Scene Ever Made In Movie History
Here is why the battle of gargamela in Alexander (2004) beats every othEr battle.
1 It actually shows how Alexander manages to beat the persian army with the tactis of going in circles and actualy being succesful.
2 Vangelis's Score when Alexander rides through the army. Probably the best battle song ever...the drums following the galloping of Alexander
3 Litteraly the scene was so badass i was on the edge of my seat
4 The Phalanx method of fighting used with historical facts and well presented. (not like Stone would just have people in squares battling) but he actualy showed how and the way they would form.
5 The most numerous battle scene in movie history
6 It beats LOTR becasue there is so much less CGI. LOTR is a great trilogy but you know some people get tired of CGI's.
7 Alexander was hard to determine during the battle (unlike some battles where its' easy to recognize which one is the leader) afterwards in the movie...
8 Alexander doesn't face off only the greatest of the rulers but all of them (unlike some movies where the main villain walks through this orgy of people fighting and somehow finds the enemy ruler so easily and ignores everyone else and kills him...or tries to
9 Barely any speech during the fighting (leave out the beginning when they get prepared)
10 Good actors. the movie shows the loyality of greek perfection
11 It is a long battle.
12 The head army is in the back actually getting attacked a llittle bit as their other minorities are fighting...(like getting distracted as a random spear goes through missing Darius)
13 The portrayal of the persian army (the purple and the beards) basically you could tell who was who.
14 The god damn score.
