This battle fought in the early months of 1807 as depicted in the Gerard Depardieu movie 'Le Colonel Chabert'. Not an action movie it has this one sequence shot in Poland and is part of a flashback sequence.
This is a reasonable depiction of a charge by French cuirassiers, obviously influenced by Bondarchuk though not really historically accurate in terms of tactics; rarely would heavy cavalry go into race horse mode on the battlefield but instead moved around in dense formations in a much slower, though less spectacular fashion. See a US based cuirassier reenactor regiment here. Dutch one here. Looks frighteningly expensive.
I supose bicentennial wise things are a bit quiet now in the Napoleonic wars - next significant event I suppose is the invasion of Spain in 1808.
