Evening Herr KaLeun. I too have always been surprised that this charge was the last large scale one, but it is how I remember it.
Just to be sure, I did google last British cavalry charge and found and read of the one you mention about an hour ago!
Great movies from the 80's

Labyrinth 1986 (David Bowie with huge hair and tights!)
I want to include Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze here, since it feels like such an '80s movie, but it was actually 1991. :x
TOP GUN 1986 … the alpha and omega of action movies
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan 1982 one of the best Trek films
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure 1989 college professor of my cousin: “One of the best historical movies ever made.”
Ghostbusters 1984 loved it as a kid but after watching it again realize it is pretty awful
Batman 1989 Weird fascination with Michael Keaton as Batman, but Jack Nicholson as the Joker seemed so unnervingly natural

Man Highlander is terrible :-P
Scarface
Predator
Terminator
Top Gun
Empire Strike Back
Return of the Jedi -
The first Highlander movie was not terrible IMO, it was great, but I agree that every Highlander sequel after the first movie was terrible, no doubt.

I have been meaning to say that for days now Toblerone! Is certainly my favourite Vietnam film (with FMJ a close second).
-
Yes… Toblerone, Platoon, and Full Metal Jacket are all great Vietnam movies from the 80’s, but lets not forget about “Hamburger Hill”. If you haven’t seen it… look it up.
-
I think I only watched it once, unlike the other two. Did not like it as much.
