Guess the Movie

[beagle]

Yep. She sort of reminds me of her.  Somehow I don't think this is the right track however.

Here we see the hero in the finale going for the bad guy (the one posted on February 07, 2009, 11:49:05 AM)

From now on only verbal hints

Btw, I think the Russki is aiming in the wrong direction

AHA ! Now that is a clue !
I still don't have a guess though . This could mean spending days at Wikipedia trying to figure this one out .

It's another of these movies "based on real events" that have not that much connection to historic reality ('History by Hollywood').
Let's recap
1. The title includes movement (of horses to be precise although the word 'horse' is not there)
2. The first (and major) part of the movie is located in India
3. It's at the time of the British Raj
4. There must be Russians involved in the finale
5. This is an American movie

A more arcane hint: unlike most movies they appeared together in the male and female lead are not the real lovers but the male's love is one-sided while the female is in love with a supporting actor.
Also arcane: A certain aspect of the movie led to an outrage that in turn led (at least on paper) to the end of a cruel but common Hollywood technique.
A true giveaway: A quote by the director became the title of a book by one of the actors.

The historic event also spawned a (in)famous poem that features in the film

I think I know--- but going to hold off a bit--

[beagle]

I guess it's a Crimean war film, but I don't know any.

Put us out of our misery Anthro...

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

The Charge of the Light Brigade?

[Griffin NoName]

The Galloping Tongas (1903)

[Sibling Chatty]

A true giveaway: A quote by the director became the title of a book by one of the actors.

The book? David Niven's "Bring on the Empty Horses" but I can't remember what the film was...

[Swatopluk]

The Charge of the Light Brigade?

That is the correct answer. It's the 1936 version with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland.
Auntie is also right about the empty horses and David Niven.

Zono's turn.

That is SO not fair. I was going to say that, tCotLB. It was so obvious I thought it couldn't be. I shall sulk for a week now. Did you do that deliberately to upset me?

Poooooh!  One can get bored with a game.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Ok, gimme a bit to choose a 'winner' and take pics, please.

I used the most nonovious pictures I could.
Well, next time I could try something difficult instead (like a movie that cannot be found on imdb  )

[Opsa]

YOU DO AND WE'LL BITE YA!

[Swatopluk]

In that case it will be a vampire movie
