The Battle of the Basturds, GOTs S6E9, was probably the best medieval battle I have seen depicted. Idk the exact length of the battle, but the runtime shown was a marathon for the viewer, like 15-20 mins. (In comparison to Braveheart, the longest one was like 8 mins.) The battle played out like Rome vs the Gauls, phalanx vs barbarians.

That scene was possibly the best ever on tv.

I am appalled I left out Lone Survivor on my original list.

Also, am I the only one that liked 300??

I thought it was fun, but don't classify it as a military movie.

If we're counting medieval and fantasy, we've pretty much got to give it to the LOTR trilogy, no?
