The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) - "Forth Eorlingas" scene
The Rohirrim sometimes referred to themselves as Eorlingas, and this was the battle-cry that King Theoden shouted as he rode out of the Hornburg at Helm's Deep, to meet the Uruk-hai head-on just before Gandalf arrived with reinforcements, "at first light, on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the east."
This is one of the first scenes that springs to mind when I think about the many perfect movie moments in the LOTR trilogy. Everything is done sublimely, especially Howard Shore's score. The scene starts with the Nature theme as the sun rises. As they ride out, a triumphant statement of the Rohan theme accompanies them, and then they look east and see Gandalf, as the choir announces 'Shadowfax', before a warm and welcome rendition of the Fellowship theme. Soloist Ben del Maestro then sings a version of the Mearas text (about Shadowfax), as the Rohirrim sweep down the mountain with Gandalf leading them, before the final blast of the 'Gandalf the White' theme as they charge the Uruk-hai. If there is a more perfectly scored sequence in recent film history, I have yet to see it.
Starring Ian McKellan, Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Bernard Hill and John Rhys-Davies. Directed by Peter Jackson, written by JRR Tolkien, and with one of the best film scores of all time composed by Howard Shore.
