Interesting fact about the fleet from Dunkirk. One of the boats was a yacht that was owned and captained by a retired merchant seaman named Charles Lightoller. He was the highest ranking survivor of the crew of the Titanic. He personally took his boat out to aid in the evacuation.
And nice touch that they show New Brittanic just after shot of the character based on Lightoller - given that the original Britannic was one of Titanic's sister ships
Amen to that. The entire 3 movie series (extended editions of course) are arguably the best fantasy series in the history of cinema. This was a love and respect for the IP that has never been seen since, and never will be again.
You missed a really powerful one from television. In Babylon 5 when Delenn returns to save the station. Season 3, episode 10 "Severed Dreams". Pure magic.
“Only one human captain has defeated a Minbari ship in battle. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, find someone where else to be.” Yep. This is the one I thought of when I saw the video’s name.
Me too! "This is ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw, or be destroyed." "Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship." "Why not. Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."
It's not just Delenn, amazing as she is, the set up is also a big part of it. The end of that episode is a serious emotional rollercoaster. The relief at just barely fighting off the loyalists, then loyalist reinforcements arrive and that relief turns to dread, then the strain in Corwin's voice as he announces 3 more ships are jumping in directly on top of them. Then we see who those three ships are.
My highschool trip was to watch The Return of the King. Man, when the horn of the Rohirrim sounded, everyone, and I'm talking a theature full of teenagers, went dead quiet. When the Rohirrim rode up, the erruption of cheers was louder than any surround sound.
One of my faves is the Reavers appearing out of the nebula at the end of Serenity. It's both reinforcements and poetic justice, because the Alliance's folly created the monsters that the Serenity crew bait into showing up to defeat the Alliance armada. And the Alliance operative goes from cocky to "oh, we're screwed." As Mal says when it kicks off "Chickens come home to roost."
Battlestar Galactica, when Galactica is unable to fight and unable to run above New Caprica. Adama tells the crew it's been an honor and we have a zoom out of the Glactica being relentlessly beaten and unable to do anything when Pegasus comes past the camera instantly putting one Basestar down.
When that Tiger Tank blew up in “Saving Private Ryan” I literally shouted ‘OH BULL CRAP! A .45 ISN’T GOING TO DO THAT!’ Then the P-51 flew past. My date looked at me and laughed, and she laughed, and she laughed….
When I saw Dunkirk come up, I thought it should've been #1 on the list. It really happened, a fleet of civilian boats rescued over 300,000 men from inevitable death or capture. That trumps all the rest.
Twice a tear fell down my cheek in LOTR, and they were both in The Two Towers. Once when they had the far away shot of Gandalf and the Balrog falling toward the water, and Gandalf riding with the Rohirrim down the slope and the sun rising behind him with that musical climax. I can't believe it's already been a couple of decades.
One thing in the Dunkirk clip that most people will miss (right fellow swabies?) is when the small boys are passing the destroyer (big grey boat). The crew is lined up on the side next to the volunteers, "manning the rail", i.e. saluting them, and giving thanks for their help. Last time *I* manned the rail was when our ship pulled into Pearl Harbor. We saluted the remains of USS Arizona, the first major USN ship to die in WWII.
@@thaYESKIMO Don’t blame Tolkien blame Peter Jackson, Tolkien didn’t even have the Dead show up at the Battle of Pelennor Fields. The West won with superior tactics and skill, in the book
One I would have included was at the end of "we were soldiers". The Americans are charging the Vietnamese but they are ready and waiting and you assume that Mel Gibson and the boys will be wiped out and then the helicopters appear and lay down a deadly barrage and save the day. Great stuff....and in Sam Peckinpaw slow motion. What a climax!
-- Agreed and got me thinking. Braveheart: When the Scotts and Irish charge each other, then stop and greet. Pretty good 'middle finger' reinforcement scene.
While I did love that scene in We Were Soldiers, that wasn't an unexpected reinforcement. That was the American plan. Attack up the hill and when they get to the summit, hesitate while the gunships strike from the air.
I would have included the scene in the first "Matrix" movie when Trinity and Neo show up in the Huey and rescue Morpheus from the agents. One of the coolest scenes ever!
I'd add the season 1 ending episode of Star Trek: Next Generation. The Enterprise is facing off against 2 Romulan ships. Picard and Tomalak (the Romulan admiral) are giving speeches about death and honor. Just as they're about to start firing, Picard gives the signal and 3 Klingon ships decloak, supporting the Enterprise. Great tv moment.
Masterpiece. Hinted at throughout the episode enough so that when it happens the fragments align. Keeps it from seeming like an "out of nowhere" trump card.
Season 3, episode 10: "The Defector". Not to be confused with the season 1 finale, "The Neutral Zone". The best part? The dialogue, of course. "If the cause be just and honorable, they are prepared to give their lives. Are you prepared to die here, Tomalak?" ... "You will still not survive our assault!" "And you will not survive ours. Shall we die together?"
I was really concerned there when both Avengers Endgame and LotR came in so early. But you rectified that briliantly. Ride of the Rhohirim and the Assembly are probably peak cinema for their respective generations.
"but he was a badass pilot like Iceman" This I feel is bollox. What the OG film underscored very clearly - especially with Maverick and Goose - is that the relationship between the pilot and the RIO as just as important as the pilots skill. Even Iceman wouldn't have been worth spit without his RIO.
Yes, yes, yes, YES! Eoden's last charge, the Ride of the Rohirrim!! The salute he gives his riders before the charge, clanging his sword against their spears, the yell, the CHARGE!!! It never fails to bring me to tears. Even seeing this (too short) clip here. I had a feeling this could be #1, believed it had to be, especially after you mention the charge at Helm's Deep. *Ahem* Good choice; carry on.
@@protorhinocerator142 He had to switch out swords after that ad-lib, because the soft metal prop sword he used got seriously bent. You can't even see it, there's a reason why the film got the Oscar for editing.
@@FluxAscender Gandalf arrived with the Riders of the Westfold, part of the Rohirrim. The Elves arriving at Helms Deep was an error from Jackson and was not in the book.
@@terry7907 It took nothing away from the original, but added the elves actually doing something and a neat callback to the last alliance, plus a epic movie battle scene. How tf was it a terrible choice besides book elitism? Clearly the Rohirrim did need the help. They needed Gandalf to save their asses after all. Compare it to any 'change' the writers did for that god awful Rings of Power, or Wheel of Time and the last few seasons of Game of Thrones, and Peter Jackson's worst change looks like a godsend.
Luke Skywalker's redemption in the disney world was perhaps the biggest moment for any real old school Star Wars fan who'd felt betrayed and fucked over by the trainwreck that was the sequels. Man tears everywhere.
Right. That's it. I nearly had it with this list. Thinking that the LOTR slot had been used up. But you did it. You have the #1 cinematic scene of all time in the top spot. Well done. Well done..... 👏👏
It's not a very well known, but there's a movie called Act of Valor about a Navy Seals team. About halfway through the movie the team is doing an infiltration and extraction mission of a kidnapped journalist from a drug cartel I think either in Mexico or South America. The extraction goes kinda wrong, some of the team is seriously injured, and they're on the run in a beat up pickup truck heading for the extraction point. They race for a river of some kind and drive the truck right into it. As they're scrambling to get out of the truck as it sinks about 7-8 trucks jam-packed full of cartel members armed to the freaking teeth come screeching up right behind them ready to just blow them away.... Until the Seal team's backup comes roaring in from around the bend in the river in two high-speed combat boats that absolutely UNLOADS it's M134 minigun, M2 50 caliber and M60 machine guns into the cartel with such devastating results the trucks start exploding from the devastating level of gunfire. They easily keep the surviving group of cartel members cowering behind their trucks while the Seal team climbs aboard the boats and extract. It was such an intense and heart-pounding scene it's a shame it didn't make this list, but then this isn't a well-known movie.
#13 the Helicarrier, what some people don't know is that it was hinted at for months in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Also known as "Theta Protocol", they kept mentioning it in the show for weeks. The payoff wasn't realized until the week that Age of Ultron was released in theatres. Theta Protocol was a project created after the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., when Nick Fury and Director Phil Coulson learned that Helicarrier No. 64, albeit damaged, survived the war and HYDRA's attempt to capture it. The idea was to secretly repair Helicarrier No. 64 so that it could be used in case of a world-threatening emergency. ruclips.net/video/2sc9BCOdtuw/видео.html
Yeah, if you watched Agents of Shield at the time, it was 10X more epic when the helicarrier showed up. And it literally went from the episode airing the night before the movie released for a SEAMLESS transition.
22:08 They did. Cinemark Theaters showed the Extended Editions of the LOTR trilogy in theaters on the first 2 weeks in January, the Fellowship on the 1st & 8th, Two Towers on the 2nd & 9th, & RotK on the 3rd & 10th. - My wife & I saw it on the 8th, 9th, & 10th. It was amazing.
I was able to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies in the theater. The big screen was just too small to show the immense and epic battle scenes that can give them all justice.
I'm very surprised you didn't include the Battle Of Bloody Gulch from Band Of Brothers. I know it's not a movie, strictly speaking, but after seeing a succession of scenes in which E Company soldiers are hurt or killed, and someone's screaming for a medic, it was great. The German tanks rolled in and decimated their left flank. Dog and Fox company fell back, leaving them exposed. A bloodied and slightly dazed Smokey Gordon is setting up his machine gun for another round when suddenly you hear a whistling sound as a shell hits the German lines, then another one. His partner, Alton More goes "Jesus, what was that?" They look to the side and suddenly see a column of Sherman tanks surrounded by infantry making its way towards them. Everyone who was probably thinking they were in a dire situation starts whooping and celebrating, and fighting back with a renewed vigor. I think it was a beautiful scene, a very good example of the cavalry arriving just in time.
One of my favorites that's not listed is from the How To Train Your Dragon TV Series; "Race To The Edge". In the last episode of the series, all the dragons and allies made throughout all the seasons come back to save the King of Dragons, while also protecting Hiccup and his friends. Getting to see all the characters and dragons once again and all of them working together to end a large part of the Dragon Hunting community is such an epic moment. LOTR and Star Wars are still my favorite series and I also think that Yoda and the Clones coming in to Geonosis in Episode 2 is also a great reinforcements arrive scene. Especially, because few people were expecting it. Beause it's easy to forget, watching it for the first time, that before all the crazy fight scenes and everything, Yoda says he will go to Kamino. I'm impressed that I have seen 20 of the 25 movies listed here and I agree with all of their placements. Great job! Personally I always get more excited watching someone pull off a "one many army" scene and sacrificing (or staying alive) themeselves to save everyone else. But second thing that makes me excited in movies is the reinforcements, I would love to see a video on 1 Man Armies or 1 Person Saving Others by Sacrificing Themselves or something like that.
I have seen Kingdom of Heaven, and I do love that movie a lot. However, I do love your top pick as being the charge of the Rohirim at the Battle of Pelenor Fields. That was the most epic scene in the history of epic battle scenes.
God, I LOVE that movie, but you have to watch the director's cut. In the Middle East, when Saladin picks up the cross, audiences broke into screaming, stamping applause, because this is such a different view of that hero.
@@ginmar8134 The director's cut is really good for that movie. I did like that the movie tried to be fair to both Christians and Muslims to some extent.
End Game had a fun battle, but a highly laughable shit story. 😂 For one, they all should've died when that spaceship carpet-bombed the avengers building that was just defended by a couple of concrete slabs (which afterwards fell on top of all of them). Ant man was the best character in End game, because at least he had some humor (aside from rocket). Prefer Infinity war over End game and all other mainstream franchises over the entire mcu (such as tolkien's world, JK's magical world and Star Trek to name some of them). 😅
@@Handlealreadytaken.Trythisone. Infinity War was a better movie than Endgame for the same reason that Empire Strikes Back was better than Star Wars or Return of the Jedi. Putting the good guys into a horrible situation and leaving them there with the villain victorious .... that's a great story.
#10? Han showing up to save Luke was one of the high points of my childhood and one of the greatest moments in movie history. I'd put this at #1 and I don't think it's even close.
I cannot agree any more than what you said at 22:10 regarding rereleasing former blockbuster movie and even better, the duos, trilogies, etc to the young audiences who didn’t get to see them when they were originally released.
I thought you were going to list the 'rebellion of the slaves' moment from the Stargate film. The moment where the kids and the remaining special forces are captured and the village leader does his battle cry and they all race down the dunes at the glider pilots. Just epic.
The fact that Bill Millin and his pipes in the longest day, arriving at Pegasus bridge isn't here, is criminal, 'Sir! Pipes sir!' 'hold until relieved', 'HOLD. Until. Relieved'.
Also, Gunga Din alerting the British army at the conclusion of the film of the same name (1939). Pace Lord of the Rings fans, Din contains one of the greatest non-cgi cavalry charges in the history of movies, advised by ex-soldiers who actually witnessed such action. And as usual for these cinematic moments, terrific music by the great Alfred Newman. For those of you who do watch films more than twenty years old...😁
Where's Lancelot's return in Excalibur? That certainly deserves a mention. I realize that this is somewhat new of a trope, but there are many great scenes that occured before the new millennium and they get ignored too often. Heck even the reinforcements in Monty Python and the Holy Grail just before the end is great.
TV shows: Babylon 5 when Sheridan is freeing earth from a tyrant. One, when Delenn arrives and two, when the fleet arrives during Sheridan’s suicide run to save earth.
"Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else." is one of the best "come at me, bro"s of all time
Oh come on man! You missed the all time No.1. The one that set the standard for ALL that followed. John Ford's 1939 STAGECOACH. Mrs Lucy Mallory: "Do you hear it? Do you hear it? . . . It's the bugle. . . . They're blowing the Charge!"
So many goosebump-inducing moments in this video, well done! The only thing I'd change is including when the Rebel fleet came out of hyperspace at Scarif in Rogue One. I almost cried the first time I saw it.
The funny thing about Dunkirk is that former officer Charles Lightoller was part of that convoy of ships. A man who was ridiculed and hated because he was the highest-ranking officer who survived the Titanic tragedy, a war hero of WW1, and then comes in his little boat to save the Expeditionary Force.
The minigun sound effects were so amazing in the theater in Black hawk down. Really drove home how powerful they were. The cast was crazy stacked, as mentioned-i recall there being a string of time of me discovering once a year for over 10 straight years that a member of a big film's main protagonist group or antagonist group cast had also been in Black hawk down. (I also recently met a one-eyed man who had lost his other eye during that conflict as a member of the American adjutant of the 10th mountain-he said the movie was extremely accurate to the actual events....he also still carried mental wounds from the lives he took in a vengeful rage for the life of a man under his command who was killed, but, he clearly understood-without ever being ok with-the fact that he was a soldier in a conflict at the time he became a killer. It was both sad and inspiring to see someone come to live with the truth without making excuses or justification for what he'd done while being a soldier.)
Couldn't agree more with no. 1 Best moment in cinematic history no question Endgame battle as good as it is still cannot compare, I have watched that scene three dozen times and it NEVER fails to give me Goosebumps when I hear the Horns of Rohan Blow from the distance or Théoden and his warriors shouting out DEATH!
watched entire video, just about to give on the next one because there is no LOTR ROHIRRIM sequence, well...Number one had it so, you earned a sub my friend :)
Good list. There's one more that I would have added in there somewhere, but also from a TV show... Babylon 5, the episode Severed Dreams when Delen arrives. I might also have included the "Big Damn Heroes" scene from Firefly, but if I were forced to choose between them, I would pick the B5 scene lol.
Delenn was awesome, she's my top reply to "men don't like strong female characters" "Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!"
You could KINDA say that the White Star falling from the sky on to the dome at Z'ha'dum was pretty epic too - combined with Kosh urging him to jump into chasm just before. Right then KABOOM!
Honorable mention to another Star Trek show - and another animated show: Star Trek: Lower Decks, Season 1 finale No Small Parts. The hero ship, USS Ceritos, is in deep, deep trouble, being literally torn apart by three huge Pakled ships, when suddenly another ship shows up... and it's the Titan! The Luna class USS Titan, captained by Will Riker (voiced by Jonathan Frakes), starts blasting the Pakleds like Danny Devito with a minigun, saving the Ceritos and her crew, all to the dramatic sound of the Star Trek: The Next Generation theme.
Another honourable mention from _Lower Decks:_ the Vulcan ship VCF Sh'vhal entered to cover for USS Cerritos, which had by then sustained a lot of damage from a large Pakled ship.
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor! its Epic
The bit with Saving Private Ryan is that similar scenes played out in the Battle Of The Bulge. US forces got pinned down with no support available, as Allied planes couldn't do CAS in the low overcast skies. All they could do is listen to the radio calls, and look for openings in the clouds until they had to land & refuel, to do it all again. As the cloud cover began to dissipate later in the day, Allied warbirds were swarming through the breaks within minutes. The German advance ground to a halt under the counterattack, buying Allied armor time to advance.
If Optimus Prime's on the list, how about his entrance into the Battle of Autobot City in _Transformers: The Movie?_ The Autobots were getting their asses kicked, and here comes Prime, driving into the fray, knocking Decepticons aside left and right in truck mode. Then, he does the most glorious jumping transformation, blasting more 'Cons from above before landing on his feet and mowing down the rest of them with his rifle. The awe in Kup's voice, when he said, "Prime did it. He turned the tide," was felt by everyone in the audience. For all its flaws, 2009's _Star Trek_ got a pretty good cavalry charge when the _Enterprise_ dropped out of warp and took out the hailstorm of torpedoes aimed at Spock's ship, which allowed him to ram the _Nerada_ and set off the red matter.
Might I add the end scene of Quigley Down Under. After he killed Marston and was surrounded by mounted British Calvary, Quigley was saved by the sudden and silent appearance of hundreds of Aboriginal tribespeople who "quietly" convinced the Brits to leave.
You have certainly earned my sub by including two slightly obscure movies: Behind Enemy Lines and Kingdom of Heaven. My what great taste you have, sir.👍👍👍 Well played.
I was caught off guard with the music that played over the "Saving Private Ryan" scene, took me a moment to realize it was a version of the "America" theme from Sid Meier's Civilization 6 game. Also, the number one spot almost made me cry when I saw it in theaters. Would love to see the extended versions played in theaters for the 25th anniversary of the films.
The scenes from the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises with the fleets that are way too big are just terrible. Even Endgame with the sudden appearance of everybody at the last minute, it was an obvious set up for a final battle and not something that would happen naturally ... not that superhero movies and science fiction series rely on natural events.
When it came to Dunkirk's ending with the civilian ships coming to get the soilders out of the beach it brought me to tears. One of the best movie sense and real history moments in history
The number one scene so deserves it because it is not about super powers or mighty tech; its about "...but we shall meet them in battle none-the-less".
13:15 Behind Enemy Lines is such an underrated movie. Cool song at take-off “Buck Rogers” by Feeder too. LOVED the scene where they are trying to evade the SAMs.
What about Aragorn showing up with the Army of the Dead? Also, what about Attack of the Clones? Windu showing up with the Jedi to save Anakin, Padme and Obi-Wan. Yoda showing up with the clones to save the Jedi. Yoda saving Anakin and Obi-Wan from Dooku.
I hate they nerf Thor so hard in every movie. In both Avengers and Infinity War, he uses a SUPER powerful attack ONCE!, then never does it again. Then you get to Love and Thunder, and he is a complete joke.
For me, the Battle of the Bastards in GoT is No 1. I was waiting for it, because of the realism and brutality of the battle, the screen time given to it and its development, together with the tightening encirclement manoeuvre. The Knights of the Veil came at the right moment.
I think Thor should have been very clearly much more powerful than Captain Marvel, Wanda, or any other AVENGER. I mean we're talking about a couple thousand year old Norse God that mass people used to worship and actually some still do. They make Captain Marvel , Strange and Wanda much more powerful than him. Thor's hammer strikes are the 1 thing that the Hulk truly fears in the comics.
He should be but the MSheU doesn't like that. Also Hulk was downpowered so much he didn't need to be in the later films. The real Hulk, Champion Gladiator of Sakaar, would have beaten Thanos to a pulp. In the comics the Hulk was one of the few beings that Thanos feared, as Hulk only got stronger and angrier.
You missed the single best reinforcement scene of all time. Delenn showing up to defend Babylon 5 from President Clark's forces in the Severed Dreams episode should always be the number one spot on any reinforcements list. Rest in peace Mira Furlan!
"This is Ambassador Delenn of The Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw...or be destroyed."----"Negative, we have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ships"-----"Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else"
Number 1 is just perfect. Watched it in the cinematic cut once and it just wasn't the same 😅 Honorable mention: 13 hours. It's not exactly backup, but its help when they thought it was more enemies. Powerful scene!
How about the ending of the first JJ Abrams Star Trek when the Enterprise comes out of warp phasers firing, destroying all the missiles heading toward Spock.
I was kinds hoping to see the SWCC boat action from Act of Valor. It's *literally* a gunboat rescue and it's so real to life they used active duty Navy and M134 Miniguns running with I-kid-you-not _live_ ammo.
this is such a well thought and great list, i cant argue with anything on this list or the logic behind where they are placed. all where such legendary moments of reinforcements
Those horns when the Riders of Rohan appear still brings chills. Thor arriving to save Wakanda is pretty cool as well.
I agree.
I know a grown-ass man who literally tears up at the Rohan scene everytime.

Interesting fact about the fleet from Dunkirk. One of the boats was a yacht that was owned and captained by a retired merchant seaman named Charles Lightoller. He was the highest ranking survivor of the crew of the Titanic. He personally took his boat out to aid in the evacuation.
I knew all about the “Little Ships” of Dunkirk. But still when I saw them, I wept…

100%. Still brings a tear to my eye. The #1 cinematic scene of all time IMO..... just brilliant...

Amen to that. The entire 3 movie series (extended editions of course) are arguably the best fantasy series in the history of cinema. This was a love and respect for the IP that has never been seen since, and never will be again.
You missed a really powerful one from television.
In Babylon 5 when Delenn returns to save the station. Season 3, episode 10 "Severed Dreams". Pure magic.
“Only one human captain has defeated a Minbari ship in battle. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, find someone where else to be.”
Yep. This is the one I thought of when I saw the video’s name.
Me too!
"This is ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw, or be destroyed."
"Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship."
"Why not. Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

It's not just Delenn, amazing as she is, the set up is also a big part of it. The end of that episode is a serious emotional rollercoaster. The relief at just barely fighting off the loyalists, then loyalist reinforcements arrive and that relief turns to dread, then the strain in Corwin's voice as he announces 3 more ships are jumping in directly on top of them. Then we see who those three ships are.
THIS THIS THIS!
I feel like not enough credit is given to the score in so many of these moments. That's a huge part of what makes it work so well.
True, the music is definitely critical.
My highschool trip was to watch The Return of the King.
Man, when the horn of the Rohirrim sounded, everyone, and I'm talking a theature full of teenagers, went dead quiet.
When the Rohirrim rode up, the erruption of cheers was louder than any surround sound.
That is beautiful and as it should be.
One of my faves is the Reavers appearing out of the nebula at the end of Serenity.

And the Alliance operative goes from cocky to "oh, we're screwed." As Mal says when it kicks off "Chickens come home to roost."
That was a fucking delicious scene
That is an excellent addition to the list!
Battlestar Galactica, when Galactica is unable to fight and unable to run above New Caprica. Adama tells the crew it's been an honor and we have a zoom out of the Glactica being relentlessly beaten and unable to do anything when Pegasus comes past the camera instantly putting one Basestar down.
Yes, such an EPIC moment!
I watch that scene on RUclips every now and then love it
The Adama maneuver as it's called now is also a huge awesome moment in the same battle.
@@ravenatog dropping like a rock!
I was wondering if Pegasus would get a look in.
When that Tiger Tank blew up in “Saving Private Ryan” I literally shouted ‘OH BULL CRAP! A .45 ISN’T GOING TO DO THAT!’ Then the P-51 flew past. My date looked at me and laughed, and she laughed, and she laughed….
"What do you see?"
"...Home."
Branagh's delivery of that single-word line in Dunkirk just nails it.
When I saw Dunkirk come up, I thought it should've been #1 on the list. It really happened, a fleet of civilian boats rescued over 300,000 men from inevitable death or capture. That trumps all the rest.
Twice a tear fell down my cheek in LOTR, and they were both in The Two Towers. Once when they had the far away shot of Gandalf and the Balrog falling toward the water, and Gandalf riding with the Rohirrim down the slope and the sun rising behind him with that musical climax. I can't believe it's already been a couple of decades.
Just twice? Man, "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" didn't even get you a little bit?
For me, Arwen defying the Ring Wraiths always gets me.
not for Theoden's speech on the fields of Pelennor?

One of the coolest scenes ever!
I'd add the season 1 ending episode of Star Trek: Next Generation. The Enterprise is facing off against 2 Romulan ships. Picard and Tomalak (the Romulan admiral) are giving speeches about death and honor. Just as they're about to start firing, Picard gives the signal and 3 Klingon ships decloak, supporting the Enterprise. Great tv moment.
I'd put this scene above the Picard one anyday.
Give Lower Decks some love too ruclips.net/video/J-8FtwsamtY/видео.html
Masterpiece. Hinted at throughout the episode enough so that when it happens the fragments align. Keeps it from seeming like an "out of nowhere" trump card.
Season 3, episode 10: "The Defector". Not to be confused with the season 1 finale, "The Neutral Zone".
The best part? The dialogue, of course. "If the cause be just and honorable, they are prepared to give their lives. Are you prepared to die here, Tomalak?"
... "You will still not survive our assault!"
"And you will not survive ours. Shall we die together?"
@@MMuraseofSandvich Another reason klingons respected Picard. He understood the meaning of "today is a good day to die!"
I was really concerned there when both Avengers Endgame and LotR came in so early. But you rectified that briliantly. Ride of the Rhohirim and the Assembly are probably peak cinema for their respective generations.
Too bad you could see 'avengers assemble' coming from minute 1 in the movie :s
Hangman wasn't a team player, but he was a badass pilot like Iceman. Gotta give credit where it's due.
Hangman is actually the "Maverick" to Rooster's "Iceman".
@@jediraydenI don’t know why, but it took my brain a lot longer than it should have to visualize what you wrote…
"but he was a badass pilot like Iceman"
This I feel is bollox.
What the OG film underscored very clearly - especially with Maverick and Goose - is that the relationship between the pilot and the RIO as just as important as the pilots skill.
Even Iceman wouldn't have been worth spit without his RIO.
Yes, yes, yes, YES!
Eoden's last charge, the Ride of the Rohirrim!! The salute he gives his riders before the charge, clanging his sword against their spears, the yell, the CHARGE!!!
It never fails to bring me to tears. Even seeing this (too short) clip here. I had a feeling this could be #1, believed it had to be, especially after you mention the charge at Helm's Deep.
*Ahem* Good choice; carry on.
And that salute with the clanging swords was completely ad libbed. He was in the moment and went all epic on us.
Totally agree.
@@protorhinocerator142 He had to switch out swords after that ad-lib, because the soft metal prop sword he used got seriously bent. You can't even see it, there's a reason why the film got the Oscar for editing.
Of course no 1 in all history is the Rohirrim arriving in Minas Tirith battle. Good choice.
The Elves and Gandalf showing up at Helm's Deep was done better, though.
@@FluxAscender Gandalf arrived with the Riders of the Westfold, part of the Rohirrim.
The Elves arriving at Helms Deep was an error from Jackson and was not in the book.
@@Thurgosh_OG It wasn't an 'error', it was a deliberate change. And it was actually a good change, or at least not a bad one.
@@georgeeast5502it was a terrible choice. The Rohirrim didn’t need them.
@@terry7907 It took nothing away from the original, but added the elves actually doing something and a neat callback to the last alliance, plus a epic movie battle scene. How tf was it a terrible choice besides book elitism? Clearly the Rohirrim did need the help. They needed Gandalf to save their asses after all.
Compare it to any 'change' the writers did for that god awful Rings of Power, or Wheel of Time and the last few seasons of Game of Thrones, and Peter Jackson's worst change looks like a godsend.
Luke Skywalker's redemption in the disney world was perhaps the biggest moment for any real old school Star Wars fan who'd felt betrayed and fucked over by the trainwreck that was the sequels. Man tears everywhere.
You must've loved it a lot to be your profile pic
Yeap! That #1 is the #1 of all movies, of all time! Loved your video mate! Top tier!
Right. That's it. I nearly had it with this list. Thinking that the LOTR slot had been used up. But you did it. You have the #1 cinematic scene of all time in the top spot. Well done. Well done..... 👏👏
It's not a very well known, but there's a movie called Act of Valor about a Navy Seals team. About halfway through the movie the team is doing an infiltration and extraction mission of a kidnapped journalist from a drug cartel I think either in Mexico or South America. The extraction goes kinda wrong, some of the team is seriously injured, and they're on the run in a beat up pickup truck heading for the extraction point. They race for a river of some kind and drive the truck right into it. As they're scrambling to get out of the truck as it sinks about 7-8 trucks jam-packed full of cartel members armed to the freaking teeth come screeching up right behind them ready to just blow them away....
Until the Seal team's backup comes roaring in from around the bend in the river in two high-speed combat boats that absolutely UNLOADS it's M134 minigun, M2 50 caliber and M60 machine guns into the cartel with such devastating results the trucks start exploding from the devastating level of gunfire. They easily keep the surviving group of cartel members cowering behind their trucks while the Seal team climbs aboard the boats and extract. It was such an intense and heart-pounding scene it's a shame it didn't make this list, but then this isn't a well-known movie.
#13 the Helicarrier, what some people don't know is that it was hinted at for months in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Also known as "Theta Protocol", they kept mentioning it in the show for weeks. The payoff wasn't realized until the week that Age of Ultron was released in theatres. Theta Protocol was a project created after the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., when Nick Fury and Director Phil Coulson learned that Helicarrier No. 64, albeit damaged, survived the war and HYDRA's attempt to capture it. The idea was to secretly repair Helicarrier No. 64 so that it could be used in case of a world-threatening emergency. ruclips.net/video/2sc9BCOdtuw/видео.html
Damn Straight. who do you think the line "pulled her out of mothballs with a couple old friends" referred to?
ruclips.net/video/N0eGiqaWF9k/видео.html
Yeah, if you watched Agents of Shield at the time, it was 10X more epic when the helicarrier showed up. And it literally went from the episode airing the night before the movie released for a SEAMLESS transition.
I wish some of the aos cast coulda been on the helicarrier as an easter egg
My nephew did the special effects for "Narnia"- really proud of him. He also did Black Panther, Day After Tomorrow, Life of Pi and many, many others.
I take it the company he works for.
22:08 They did. Cinemark Theaters showed the Extended Editions of the LOTR trilogy in theaters on the first 2 weeks in January, the Fellowship on the 1st & 8th, Two Towers on the 2nd & 9th, & RotK on the 3rd & 10th. - My wife & I saw it on the 8th, 9th, & 10th. It was amazing.
Captain Phillips when the navy ship arrives! Very underrated part
I was able to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies in the theater. The big screen was just too small to show the immense and epic battle scenes that can give them all justice.
The only way to truly watch the grandeur of that scene is to go to Middle Earth and watch it firsthand.
I'm very surprised you didn't include the Battle Of Bloody Gulch from Band Of Brothers. I know it's not a movie, strictly speaking, but after seeing a succession of scenes in which E Company soldiers are hurt or killed, and someone's screaming for a medic, it was great. The German tanks rolled in and decimated their left flank. Dog and Fox company fell back, leaving them exposed. A bloodied and slightly dazed Smokey Gordon is setting up his machine gun for another round when suddenly you hear a whistling sound as a shell hits the German lines, then another one. His partner, Alton More goes "Jesus, what was that?" They look to the side and suddenly see a column of Sherman tanks surrounded by infantry making its way towards them. Everyone who was probably thinking they were in a dire situation starts whooping and celebrating, and fighting back with a renewed vigor. I think it was a beautiful scene, a very good example of the cavalry arriving just in time.
One of my favorites that's not listed is from the How To Train Your Dragon TV Series; "Race To The Edge". In the last episode of the series, all the dragons and allies made throughout all the seasons come back to save the King of Dragons, while also protecting Hiccup and his friends. Getting to see all the characters and dragons once again and all of them working together to end a large part of the Dragon Hunting community is such an epic moment.
LOTR and Star Wars are still my favorite series and I also think that Yoda and the Clones coming in to Geonosis in Episode 2 is also a great reinforcements arrive scene. Especially, because few people were expecting it. Beause it's easy to forget, watching it for the first time, that before all the crazy fight scenes and everything, Yoda says he will go to Kamino.
I'm impressed that I have seen 20 of the 25 movies listed here and I agree with all of their placements. Great job! Personally I always get more excited watching someone pull off a "one many army" scene and sacrificing (or staying alive) themeselves to save everyone else. But second thing that makes me excited in movies is the reinforcements, I would love to see a video on 1 Man Armies or 1 Person Saving Others by Sacrificing Themselves or something like that.
I have seen Kingdom of Heaven, and I do love that movie a lot. However, I do love your top pick as being the charge of the Rohirim at the Battle of Pelenor Fields. That was the most epic scene in the history of epic battle scenes.
God, I LOVE that movie, but you have to watch the director's cut. In the Middle East, when Saladin picks up the cross, audiences broke into screaming, stamping applause, because this is such a different view of that hero.
@@ginmar8134 The director's cut is really good for that movie. I did like that the movie tried to be fair to both Christians and Muslims to some extent.
I'm 45 and still shed a tear at Private Ryan and End game.
Private Ryan? Meh
End Game? Inferior to Infinity Wars.
End Game had a fun battle, but a highly laughable shit story. 😂
For one, they all should've died when that spaceship carpet-bombed the avengers building that was just defended by a couple of concrete slabs (which afterwards fell on top of all of them).
Ant man was the best character in End game, because at least he had some humor (aside from rocket).
Prefer Infinity war over End game and all other mainstream franchises over the entire mcu (such as tolkien's world, JK's magical world and Star Trek to name some of them). 😅
@@Handlealreadytaken.Trythisone. Infinity War was a better movie than Endgame for the same reason that Empire Strikes Back was better than Star Wars or Return of the Jedi. Putting the good guys into a horrible situation and leaving them there with the villain victorious .... that's a great story.
#10? Han showing up to save Luke was one of the high points of my childhood and one of the greatest moments in movie history. I'd put this at #1 and I don't think it's even close.
I cannot agree any more than what you said at 22:10 regarding rereleasing former blockbuster movie and even better, the duos, trilogies, etc to the young audiences who didn’t get to see them when they were originally released.
My local theater does this actually. We had the entire LoTR trilogy screened for Christmas Day.
The scene from Stargate where the good guys show up to protect SG-1 while they activate the ancient weapon in Antarctica deserves to be on this list.
I thought you were going to list the 'rebellion of the slaves' moment from the Stargate film.
The moment where the kids and the remaining special forces are captured and the village leader does his battle cry and they all race down the dunes at the glider pilots.
Just epic.
The fact that Bill Millin and his pipes in the longest day, arriving at Pegasus bridge isn't here, is criminal, 'Sir! Pipes sir!' 'hold until relieved', 'HOLD. Until. Relieved'.
I also recommend Tears of the Sun for the reinforcement scene.
It’s unfortunate Delenn rescuing Babylon 5 from the Alliance isn’t on here. Her speech was epic.
Also, Gunga Din alerting the British army at the conclusion of the film of the same name (1939). Pace Lord of the Rings fans, Din contains one of the greatest non-cgi cavalry charges in the history of movies, advised by ex-soldiers who actually witnessed such action. And as usual for these cinematic moments, terrific music by the great Alfred Newman.
For those of you who do watch films more than twenty years old...😁
Where's Lancelot's return in Excalibur? That certainly deserves a mention. I realize that this is somewhat new of a trope, but there are many great scenes that occured before the new millennium and they get ignored too often. Heck even the reinforcements in Monty Python and the Holy Grail just before the end is great.
Bro…. Ms Marvel’s entrance is 23?!? …. You’re nuts man. THAT was one of the best entrances I’ve seen in my 49 years.
Well no, not really. It was fine but there were already several heroes arriving who could have taken down a mere spaceship.
TV shows: Babylon 5 when Sheridan is freeing earth from a tyrant. One, when Delenn arrives and two, when the fleet arrives during Sheridan’s suicide run to save earth.
"Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else." is one of the best "come at me, bro"s of all time
Oh come on man! You missed the all time No.1. The one that set the standard for ALL that followed. John Ford's 1939 STAGECOACH.
Mrs Lucy Mallory: "Do you hear it? Do you hear it? . . . It's the bugle. . . . They're blowing the Charge!"
So many goosebump-inducing moments in this video, well done!
The only thing I'd change is including when the Rebel fleet came out of hyperspace at Scarif in Rogue One. I almost cried the first time I saw it.
The funny thing about Dunkirk is that former officer Charles Lightoller was part of that convoy of ships. A man who was ridiculed and hated because he was the highest-ranking officer who survived the Titanic tragedy, a war hero of WW1, and then comes in his little boat to save the Expeditionary Force.
Air Force One..."The good guys are here!"
The minigun sound effects were so amazing in the theater in Black hawk down. Really drove home how powerful they were. The cast was crazy stacked, as mentioned-i recall there being a string of time of me discovering once a year for over 10 straight years that a member of a big film's main protagonist group or antagonist group cast had also been in Black hawk down.
(I also recently met a one-eyed man who had lost his other eye during that conflict as a member of the American adjutant of the 10th mountain-he said the movie was extremely accurate to the actual events....he also still carried mental wounds from the lives he took in a vengeful rage for the life of a man under his command who was killed, but, he clearly understood-without ever being ok with-the fact that he was a soldier in a conflict at the time he became a killer. It was both sad and inspiring to see someone come to live with the truth without making excuses or justification for what he'd done while being a soldier.)
Couldn't agree more with no. 1 Best moment in cinematic history no question Endgame battle as good as it is still cannot compare, I have watched that scene three dozen times and it NEVER fails to give me Goosebumps when I hear the Horns of Rohan Blow from the distance or Théoden and his warriors shouting out DEATH!
According to TV Tropes this list would be an example of "The Cavalry."
Loved it. Theoden’s charge absolutely deserves number one.
The rescue scene from 'We were soldiers' should have gotten a nod as well.
the ghost army from the third lord of the rings would also be a nice inclusion here as well.
Except that was a terrible scene. The ghosts shouldn't have been at that battlefield and using them in that manner was just a Hollywood CGI copout.
Thor yelling :BRING ME THANOS!!!!!!!!! is one of the greatest movie moments I had every scene.
It would be more epic if it weren't so damn stupid.
Apparently Stormbringer missed Titan by a wee bit when it created the Bifrost.
watched entire video, just about to give on the next one because there is no LOTR ROHIRRIM sequence, well...Number one had it so, you earned a sub my friend :)
Good list. There's one more that I would have added in there somewhere, but also from a TV show... Babylon 5, the episode Severed Dreams when Delen arrives. I might also have included the "Big Damn Heroes" scene from Firefly, but if I were forced to choose between them, I would pick the B5 scene lol.
If we're talking scenes from Firefly, let's skip to Serenity and them using the Reavers as backup against the Alliance :)
"If you value your lives, be somewhere else."
Delenn was awesome, she's my top reply to "men don't like strong female characters"
"Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!"
You could KINDA say that the White Star falling from the sky on to the dome at Z'ha'dum was pretty epic too - combined with Kosh urging him to jump into chasm just before.
Right then KABOOM!
Honorable mention to another Star Trek show - and another animated show: Star Trek: Lower Decks, Season 1 finale No Small Parts.
The hero ship, USS Ceritos, is in deep, deep trouble, being literally torn apart by three huge Pakled ships, when suddenly another ship shows up... and it's the Titan! The Luna class USS Titan, captained by Will Riker (voiced by Jonathan Frakes), starts blasting the Pakleds like Danny Devito with a minigun, saving the Ceritos and her crew, all to the dramatic sound of the Star Trek: The Next Generation theme.
Another honourable mention from _Lower Decks:_ the Vulcan ship VCF Sh'vhal entered to cover for USS Cerritos, which had by then sustained a lot of damage from a large Pakled ship.
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
its Epic
The bit with Saving Private Ryan is that similar scenes played out in the Battle Of The Bulge. US forces got pinned down with no support available, as Allied planes couldn't do CAS in the low overcast skies. All they could do is listen to the radio calls, and look for openings in the clouds until they had to land & refuel, to do it all again.
As the cloud cover began to dissipate later in the day, Allied warbirds were swarming through the breaks within minutes. The German advance ground to a halt under the counterattack, buying Allied armor time to advance.
Good list! Captain Zulu arriving last minute to save the Enterprise in Star Trek VI "The Undiscovered Country" is also epic AF!
King Theodin's speech before the charge rallying his army always gives me chills. Epic af.
Terrific list! If you wanted to make it the top 26, there's always the "world's biggest game of chicken!" scene from Smokey and the Bandit ^.^
If Optimus Prime's on the list, how about his entrance into the Battle of Autobot City in _Transformers: The Movie?_ The Autobots were getting their asses kicked, and here comes Prime, driving into the fray, knocking Decepticons aside left and right in truck mode. Then, he does the most glorious jumping transformation, blasting more 'Cons from above before landing on his feet and mowing down the rest of them with his rifle. The awe in Kup's voice, when he said, "Prime did it. He turned the tide," was felt by everyone in the audience.
For all its flaws, 2009's _Star Trek_ got a pretty good cavalry charge when the _Enterprise_ dropped out of warp and took out the hailstorm of torpedoes aimed at Spock's ship, which allowed him to ram the _Nerada_ and set off the red matter.
Rohan arriving in Return Of The King is pretty much the pinnacle of any theatre experience.
Might I add the end scene of Quigley Down Under. After he killed Marston and was surrounded by mounted British Calvary, Quigley was saved by the sudden and silent appearance of hundreds of Aboriginal tribespeople who "quietly" convinced the Brits to leave.
You have certainly earned my sub by including two slightly obscure movies: Behind Enemy Lines and Kingdom of Heaven. My what great taste you have, sir.👍👍👍
Well played.
This is so beautiful - Thank you for this
I accept Lord of the Rings as the Top Spot - Always loved Rohan
I was caught off guard with the music that played over the "Saving Private Ryan" scene, took me a moment to realize it was a version of the "America" theme from Sid Meier's Civilization 6 game. Also, the number one spot almost made me cry when I saw it in theaters. Would love to see the extended versions played in theaters for the 25th anniversary of the films.
SW II: Attack of the Clones - The arena scene?!
good lord no ..... not the "cut and paste" fleets from picard . god may i never see that scene again
The scenes from the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises with the fleets that are way too big are just terrible. Even Endgame with the sudden appearance of everybody at the last minute, it was an obvious set up for a final battle and not something that would happen naturally ... not that superhero movies and science fiction series rely on natural events.
I tear up at the start of the scene with Po... thinking about how Disney turned my adoration of Star Wars into despair
That horn makes my skin crawl every time, best movie scene ever!
Aquaman and Wonder Woman at the same time sounds like heaven for a lot of people
When it came to Dunkirk's ending with the civilian ships coming to get the soilders out of the beach it brought me to tears. One of the best movie sense and real history moments in history
The number one scene so deserves it because it is not about super powers or mighty tech; its about "...but we shall meet them in battle none-the-less".
13:15 Behind Enemy Lines is such an underrated movie.
Cool song at take-off “Buck Rogers” by Feeder too.
LOVED the scene where they are trying to evade the SAMs.
No love for 'Gettysburg'? The scene where Reynold's infantry arrives just in time to save Buford and the Union position on Day 1?
What about Aragorn showing up with the Army of the Dead?
Also, what about Attack of the Clones? Windu showing up with the Jedi to save Anakin, Padme and Obi-Wan. Yoda showing up with the clones to save the Jedi. Yoda saving Anakin and Obi-Wan from Dooku.
I hate they nerf Thor so hard in every movie. In both Avengers and Infinity War, he uses a SUPER powerful attack ONCE!, then never does it again. Then you get to Love and Thunder, and he is a complete joke.
Great choice, but I am surprised the enterprise arriving to help fight the borg in first contact wasn't mentioned as that scene got me so pumped.
For me, the Battle of the Bastards in GoT is No 1. I was waiting for it, because of the realism and brutality of the battle, the screen time given to it and its development, together with the tightening encirclement manoeuvre. The Knights of the Veil came at the right moment.
When Aragorn brings the undead.... Perfection! Those are the greatest re-enforcements possible - they're already dead and you simply cannot stop them.
I think Thor should have been very clearly much more powerful than Captain Marvel, Wanda, or any other AVENGER. I mean we're talking about a couple thousand year old Norse God that mass people used to worship and actually some still do. They make Captain Marvel , Strange and Wanda much more powerful than him. Thor's hammer strikes are the 1 thing that the Hulk truly fears in the comics.
He should be but the MSheU doesn't like that. Also Hulk was downpowered so much he didn't need to be in the later films. The real Hulk, Champion Gladiator of Sakaar, would have beaten Thanos to a pulp. In the comics the Hulk was one of the few beings that Thanos feared, as Hulk only got stronger and angrier.
have a like for mentioning kingdom of heaven. the music, the visuals, the scale of the army approaching. absolutely 10/10
You missed the single best reinforcement scene of all time. Delenn showing up to defend Babylon 5 from President Clark's forces in the Severed Dreams episode should always be the number one spot on any reinforcements list. Rest in peace Mira Furlan!
"This is Ambassador Delenn of The Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw...or be destroyed."----"Negative, we have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ships"-----"Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else"
Number 1 is just perfect. Watched it in the cinematic cut once and it just wasn't the same 😅
Honorable mention: 13 hours. It's not exactly backup, but its help when they thought it was more enemies. Powerful scene!
the Horns of Rohan sends chills down my spine even today after watching this show countless times what a masterpiece
The ride of the Rohirrim has to take number one for me, but i love the Dunkirk scene too.
How about the ending of the first JJ Abrams Star Trek when the Enterprise comes out of warp phasers firing, destroying all the missiles heading toward Spock.
I was kinds hoping to see the SWCC boat action from Act of Valor. It's *literally* a gunboat rescue and it's so real to life they used active duty Navy and M134 Miniguns running with I-kid-you-not _live_ ammo.
this is such a well thought and great list, i cant argue with anything on this list or the logic behind where they are placed. all where such legendary moments of reinforcements
You nailed the no.1 spot. Bravo.
100% spot on,thank you.
17:37 - I believe that line is "I have you NOW," not "Have you not."
RIP to Bernard Hill, Theodan, King of Rohan. Thank you algorithm for bringing me here to see him in action.
If you've never seen it, find the fan reaction video to Luke appearing in the final Mandalorian s2 episode. They lost their minds.
i think "we were soldiers" final scene should have been in that list too.
Not even an honerable mention for the Klingons saving the Defiant in Deep Space nine?!
So many great space battles in the last few seasons of Deep Space Nine, such an incredible show!
Luke rescuing Mando and Grogu should be top 5 as much as I hate Disney SW
