I thought of the Rohirim later on, but I figured most people disliked the LOTR movies.  Or was it only Grumbler? :)

I don't know if it is just grumbler but I love the LOTR movies.

Malthus

My choice: the entrance of the Teutonic Knights (to the music of Prokofiev) from Alexander Nevsky.

The Star Wars prequels are a guilty pleasure for me, but this scene at the end of Ep. II gave me shivers (despite the GCI-ness).

Just remember. This is is canon:



This is not:



:P
technically, yes, the Thrawn trilogy is not part of canon.  However, it's not impossible that they would chose to integrate it in the SW universe.  If there's a passive line about "Thrawn" in the next movie, I suspect many SW fans will have an orgasm in theater :P
