I am much bound to this movie: It was the first play of Shakespeare which I ever saw and as it was so well made I soon became addicted and did devour his works; and this movie does fulfil the commandment - “a kingdom for a stage, princes to act, and monarchs to behold the swelling scene” - from the play’s prologue as if there would be a Muse of Fire indeed; as it seems not to be staged but to actually have the proper medieval folk enact the play of Shakespeare, which is seldom achieved at best.

And also some famous and choice pieces during the attack on Harfleur.

These are words Goosebumps are made of. Also of historical note, Agincourt was one of the early battles that changed history forever when a relatively new weapon of war was introduced, the English Longbow. Now the formally impenetrable armor of the Knight could now be pierced by a commoner rather than as before only by an expensively equipped upper class fighter. In other words, the tank of its day was now vulnerable to the poorest of fighters. IMHO thee Long Bow is a historical game changer.
