King Henry's famous speech by William Shakespeare. The Brits were outnumbered by the French 10 to 1 at this famous battle of Agincourt.

The first few minutes of The Hitcher, the original one... sets up the whole story. Did you know Jennifer Jason Leigh was in that film?

King Henry solicits advice from 3 English traitors on how to punish traitors... then he calls them out. Kenneth Branagh is likely responsible for repopularizing Shakespeare for the big screen because... continue reading

On the whole I thought this adaptation of Homer's Illiad sucked mightily... however, there were some pretty sweet fight scenes that contained as much, or more, ball-flexin' action than most gunfights.

One of the highlights from Sir Carol Reed's classic noir 'The Third Man', especially on account of Welles' allegedly personal contribution to Graham Greene's script, the now-famous 'Cuckoo clock theory'.

This 'film within a film' clip wonderfully introduced the badguys of 'Signs'. (sorry for the black ending [literally], and sorry for the real ending of the movie 'Signs' which kinda sucks)

Equal parts intense drama and absurdist farce, Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet can be an acquired taste; this scene shows feuding family clans starting a riot because of race tensions in modern day California.
