There are moments in movies when the team is losing at halftime, when the next offensive of the battle starts, when the task seems daunting...that someone steps up and gives an inspiring speech. I call those moments Henry the Fifth Moments. If you've ever read or seen the Shakespeare play, you may be acquainted with the several times that King Harry leads his troops into a dauting fight agaist the French and then sustains their spirit with inspiring words. These inspirational words from Shakespeare's pen have lived on to be widely recognized today: "Once more unto the breach dear friends, once more," "Cry God for Harry, England and St. George!" "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers." And the spirit of the play lives on in countless sports, war, adventure and even comedy films. Below, is a youtube video of spliced and edited Henry the Fifth Moments from some great movies. Appropriately, there's even a clip from Henry V. Watch, and be inspired!

I totally want to go hit something after seeing that. Or win a game/meet/match. Whatever it is, it taps into the inherent violence of the species. Civilization schmivilization.
