===Films=== Shakespeare's version of the battle of Agincourt has been turned into several minor and two major films. The latter, each titled ''Henry V'', star [[Laurence Olivier]] in [[Henry V (1944 film)|1944]] and [[Kenneth Branagh]] in [[Henry V (1989 film)|1989]]. Made just prior to the invasion of Normandy, Olivier's rendition gives the battle what Sarah Hatchuel has termed an "exhilarating and heroic" tone, with an artificial, cinematic look to the battle scenes.{{sfn|Hatchuel|2008|pp=194–195}} Branagh's version gives a longer, more [[Realism (arts)|realist]] portrayal of the battle itself, drawing on both historical sources and images from the [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]] and [[Falkland War]]s.{{sfn|Hatchuel|2008|p=195}} In his 2007 film adaptation, director Peter Babakitis uses digital effects to exaggerate realist features during the battle scenes, producing a more ''[[Experimental film|avant-garde]]'' interpretation of the fighting at Agincourt.{{sfn|Hatchuel|2008|p=200}} The battle also forms a central component of the 2019 Netflix film [[The King (2019 film)|''The King'']], which stars [[Timothée Chalamet]] as Henry V and [[Robert Pattinson]] as the [[Louis, Duke of Guyenne|Dauphin of Viennois]]. The film takes inspiration from Shakespeare's Henriad plays''.''<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jagernauth |first=Kevin |date=3 February 2016 |title=Joel Edgerton Talks 'Game Of Thrones' Meets Shakespeare Project With David Michôd, 'Jane Got A Gun,' And More |url=https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/joel-edgerton-talks-game-of-thrones-meets-shakespeare-project-with-david-michod-jane-got-a-gun-and-more-83994/ |access-date=8 October 2023 |website=IndieWire |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |date=25 October 2019 |title=The True Story Behind Netflix's The King |url=https://time.com/5707035/the-king-netflix-true-story/ |access-date=8 October 2023 |magazine=Time |language=en}}</ref>
