Epic battle scenes

Please recommend me some films with epic battles, the bigger the better. I have just rewatched Waterloo and enjoyed the spectacle of seeing so many soldiers on screen at once (a joy after recently rewatching my sharpe dvds and being dissapointed at the scale) It can be from historical to Sci fi etc

WHAT!?!?! Not a single mention of the epic battle at the end of Monty Pythons Holy Grail? Shame on you young uns. No respect for the classics.

not to double post or anything, but here are my top five...

1.Saving Private Ryan-D-day Invasion: possibly the best sequence ever put to film,if not the best, certainly the most harrowing and intense. an absolutely heart-wrenching scene and a monument of modern film-making.

2. LOTR The Two Towers-The Battle of Helm's Deep: far more entertaining, it's your good old fashioned small army defending a small fortress against huge army. Where else can you see 2000 horses bearing riders sliding down a shear cliff face at the climax.

3. Band of Brothers-Battle of the Bulge/Operation market garden/D-day:these sequences are literally head spinning, with phenominal hand-held camera work and cinematography. Set the standard for modern combat realism.

4. Fellowship of the Ring-Battle of Amon hen: 8 against a couple hundred? sounds about right. far more interesting than the much larger battles of its sequels it focuses more on the heroes and packs more of an emotional wallop. it also finises off with one of the best death scenes in recent years.

5. Ran-assault on the fortress: every shot in this battle (and indeed this film) looks like a painting. opens with a prolonged sequence in which we hear no sound and only the sweeping musical score. What is most important about this battle is its heavy influence on more rescent films, most noticeably Saving Private Ryan, and Hero.

Honorable Mention...
Lawrence of Arabia
Return of the King(this one is the biggest battle if that's what your interested in)
The Matrix
Braveheart
Terminator 2

Lmfao. You mean with the French and English about to face off when they're stopped by the Police..then the film ends? Yes. Classic indeed.

Saving Private Ryan - Mainly the beginning and end battles (They're great but Very Graphic)

Lord Of The Rings: ROTK - The end battle sequence is Amazing

Lord Of The Rings: TT - Battle of Helms Deep is awesome

My favorite fight scene (I'm assuming this counts since Kill Bill's did) is easily in Oldboy. If you've seen it, you know which one I'm talking about.
