From the ultra patriotic 1944 film with sir Laurence Olivier. The 1989remake with Kenneth Branagh was nice too (his speech is on YouTube too) and it is interesting to see and hear how the same Shakespearean text can be interpreted in very different ways.
By the way, I am rather satisfied that the English did not win the Hundred Year War.
I'm joking of course.
