My vote is the Game of Thrones where the two bastards meet. (Season 6 , episode 8 or 9?)

It's what I was thinking when I opened this thread. But the tank battle in Fury between the Tiger and 4 Shermans is up there, too.

Ha, i was going to say the same as the OP just off the title. If youre looking at modern times I would say we were soldiers.

Kingdom of heaven opening scene is pretty good too for brutality.

I would say We Were Soldiers when the enemy get inside the perimeter.

We Were Soldiers and Saving Private Ryan are excellent recommendations.

I would also toss into the hat Apocalypse Now, when the Cav hit those villages.

Tangential Trivia: that scene used the only remaining working Tiger tank in the world, Tiger 131.

I think someone built a replica for that movie "White Tiger", but it wasn't used. But the Tiger scene in Fury is the only one where a real Tiger tank was used to shoot a movie. Most others are old T-34's dolled up to look like Tigers.

As for confusion in a battle scene, the time in Apocalypse Now when they arrive at the bridge. Captain Willard (Sheen) goes around asking "Do you know who's in charge here?" Guy flaming away on MG turns and says "Ain't you?"

Just a couple of weeks ago I re-watched The Battle of the Bastards, and thought about starting a thread about it. The shots of John Snow in the midst of battle are IMO likely the best ever. They really show how big a factor luck seems to be in battle.

Even if you have no interest in watching GoT, watch that battle.

I thought of these same ones. Especially We Were Soldiers mainly because it actually dealt with a cut off element and mis-dropped air support/fratricide. And I almost forgot, they showed moments on both sides when the commanders were 'sensing' the shifts in the battle and issuing orders accordingly.

The Pacific has several but early on, the Guadalcanal night battle scene is pretty intense.
