As a matter of taste I'm just going to put down a list of "O shit!" moments instead of the grandest battles: Cannae Carrhae Agincourt Tsushima Fall of France (WW2) [obviously not morally good but an unbelievable strategic accomplishment against all odds]

What makes it impressive is that the French were not weak-willed idiots. They knew the limits of the maginot line and the germans were really rolling the dice with the ardennes

I will watch it if its directed by Michael Bay. Imagine an explosive Parthian shot.
