Not everyone's cup of tea, but my dad and I saw Eisenstein's 1938 film classic Alexander Nevsky with the Prokofiev musical score performed live by the Seattle Symphony. The movie centers around a historical 13th century battle on a frozen Russian lake between the Russians and Germans. Numerous visceral battle scenes, including full armored knights charging across the ice on horseback, horses in armor and masks and soldiers falling through the ice.
