Default Henry V (1944)
A lot of cinemas appear to be showing Henry V (1944) next week. It's not even St Crispin's day or Olivier's centenary (that was in May). Does anyone know why so many places should be showing it?

Seems to be a UK Film Council initiative — see here:

The films being shown as part of the Summer of British Film season at my local cinema (including Henry V), have a significantly reduced ticket price of £2.50. Normally, it would cost £6.00 for an adult. Another positive development, in my opinion, in encouraging people to discover or re-discover these classic films.

Which one is best, Larry's or Kenneth's?

I saw a film documentary last night about costume dramas, and I never realised before that Larry's was commissioned by The Ministry of Information as a sort of morale-boosting propaganda film. I haven't seen Branagh's but it was suppsed to be truer to the text and showed the nasty stuff as well.

Branagh does not embarrass himself, but it is no work of art like Olivier's.
