I just try to imagine what a soldier on either side would think and feel as those horsemen began to thunder down towards them in full gallop.
I used to think the scene of Pickett's charge in the movie Gettysburg was impressive with all those cannons barraging the Union lines. But it's really not as impressive as seeing thousands of charging cavalry slamming into a massive number of enemies. I loved the way the looks on the faces of the orc archers changed from confidence to panic when the horsemen weren't even slowed down!
Best parts in that whole battle scene, well, my favorite of many best parts was after the charge and the look on Theoden's face as he sees the mumakil coming at them.
He and those Rohan riders probably never even seen a regular elephant much less a giant killer war-elephant.
That and the face of Eowyn when the Witch-king hefts up that ridiculously huge flail. It works because its ridiculously huge
