(Preference? Branagh or Olivier?)

Branagh. Olivier's delivery, the first time I heard it, struck me as artificial, especially the sliding rocket-note at the end, at "St. Crispin's Day-EEEEEEE!" Ouch!

That's even spotting Sir Laurence a Plantagenet point for his French last name.

I also liked the soundtrack of Henry V.

I agree on Branagh. I haven't watched the Olivier version in quite some time, have it on an VHS tape somewhere, but not sure if I have a VHS deck that still works. Would like to watch again to see if it still has the same impact after watching Branagh so many times.

Awesome soundtrack, awesome films.
