One of my all time favorite scenes is from "Glory"; as the 54th marches onto the beach prior to assaulting battery wagner, Denzel Washington passes a Union soldier who had started a fight with Denzel earlier in the movie by disrespecting the colored troops with a line I can't use here.
Their eyes meet and the Union soldier yells "Give em Hell 54th!", setting off loud cheers from the Union troops watching the 54th march off to their deaths.
Gives me chills everytime I see it.............
Oh, how I agree!!! I love the "Give 'Em Hell 54th Line." It gives me chills too. I always replay that part a few times when I watch the movie. I also love the combination of pride and fear that we see in the faces of the soldiers and Colonel Shaw - very realistic in my opinion.
