Today is the commemoration of the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt.  I will set aside any worries over small details like calendar changes, and big details like historical accuracy, because Shakespeare's Henry V is a wonderful play, and his St. Crispin's Day speech one of the most inspiring and uplifting of all time.  Kenneth Branagh does it best.

Not to mention that wonderful score by Patrick Doyle.

Absolutely! Patrick Doyle is my favorite movie score composer. I especially love the Non Nobis in this one, but it's all wonderful.
