Hey Hamburglar,
Thanks for mentioning the last Blackadder. The last shot where the battlefield fades into the peaceful sunny field is powerful, especially when you consider all the aboslutely hilarious moments to come out of that show.
Also touching were the monologues each character got, where they all talk about how scared they are about dying, but accepting that they have to go over the top because their comrades are depending on them. Very powerful and unexpected.
