    Hate to say it but bravehearts battle of stirling always springs to mind.
    And theres bernard hill in LOTR-TTT...
    And the charge of the light brigade (cos it actually happened) and also in El Cid where Herbert Lom gets run over.

    How about Chaimberlains charge in Gods and Generals and Gettysburg (Well GaG mostly because of his pre battle quote and Little round top just because how it happened)

    I agree on the LOTR, but what about the Mumakil Charge, that was pretty awesome.

    GaG sucked - a lot.

    Chamberlain's charge at Little Round Top was cool.

    The Charge at the end of 'We Were Soldiers' was cool too.

    Does the mass attack of F-18's in the ending of Independence Day count? If so, then that scene combined with Pullman's speech beforehand. Simply badass.

    Now that's an interesting question..
    Anyone remember the final charge in The Last Samurai? Haven't seen the movie in years, but damn it was good in theaters.
    All the LotR charges are definetely a pleasure to view. Charge of the Rohirrim is one of the greatest moments I've seen on screen.
    And charge of the english knights in Braveheart, although it was a bit ineffective.. :p

    Speaking of Waterloo. The charge of the Union Brigade (even if it did only feature the "Scots Greys" - lol) was quite impressive.

    And the Zulus charging in ZULU frightened the living daylights out of me when I saw it as a kid

    Well the charges in both the Two towers and Return of the King is just fantastic IMO. All of them.
    Also the cavalry charge in Gladiator was pretty sweet too.

    The Charge of the 54th in "Glory" at Fort Wagner is a favourite. I loved the score they had in the background.

    The last Zulu charge was good too.

    The PT boat charge in 'In Harm's Way'

    If it does count, then I'd say the charge of the Jewish Suicide squad!
