Help please, movie buffs...

OK, I'm picturing the scene from a movie, and I need to track it down ASAP.

Several (perhaps 3) combat helicopters appear over the horizon, perhaps in front of a rising or setting sun, and fly towards the camera. Slow motion?

I'm thinking it's "Apocalypse Now", or perhaps "Black Hawk Down". I don't have time to sit through those films looking for the scene, so if anyone can help, that would be really cool. Even if you know of another film with such a scene, that would be great.

If Beethoven's 5th was playing, as the Hueys came over the mountain and begain to strafe the village.... it's apocalypse now(one of my favorite movies(awesome with surround sound turned up to 'piss off your neighbors' volume)).

Good thinking, but that's not what I'm after. It wasn't a combat scene, it's just foorage of the choppers appearing and flying towards the viewer. I can see it in my head but can't recall what fucking film it was!

I can see it too the sun was behind them and you can see the rotors blowing the exhaust down. Was it in We Were Soldiers?

[tobrooks]

[Jayster]

it wasnt Beethoven's 5th. it was Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner.
