Good Medieval, Middle Ages, History 'based' Movies

When I say that I mean Hollywood ones are fine. Something with knights, old rebellions and such. Not cowboy ones though(fall asleep in front of cowboy style movies)...just before that. Those are the ones I enjoy the most. Like Braveheart, Troy, Alexander, Highlander(ok Highlander doesn't really count, but sort of does), exc.

I've been looking for more to watch, I've seen more then I listed, but I don't remember them off the top of my head. I'm happy reading books but sometimes you just want to sit back and watch the good old Hollywood movies - watch the action, sights and stare at the actors.

Errol Flynn's Robinhood

Ladyhawke if you don't mind a bit of fantasy

Those were good ones!

You might want to add El Cid Starring Charlton Heston.

Saint Joan, the 1957 version with Jean Seberg

Excalibur it's based on Sir Thomas Malory's LE MORTE D'ARTHUR - stunning visuals and a soundtrack using a lot of Wagner - pretty good really from 1981.

There is an old movie from 1935 called The Crusades by DeMille (you know the Ten Commandments)

I might remember others but that should keep you busy for a bit - just finding some of these.

Love ya,

Sally

Thanks Victoria, that one sound neat...I haven't watched anything yet because of school and my new game. But I'm happy to have these to fall back on. Sword Of Valour sounds cool. It didn't bring any movies up right away when I 'googled' it but I'll do more research into that one...It might be the first I watch. :P

what's the one based on the Umberto Eco book with Sean Connery in it? I'm too lazy to look it up, but that was really good. Connery plays a benedictine monk or something i think. there's a castrated dude. and black tongues. it was cool. that's not quite medieval though.

That definitely sounds like it is worth checking out.

I was thinking about that one and you got here first - it was another of the Ron Pearlman amazing make up movies!

He started in Quest For Fire as a cave man then went to TV as the beast in series Beauty and the Beast, then the deformed monk in The Name of the Rose and on to Hell Boy.

I can't watch the series Sons of Anarchy because he isn't in make up, just a beard! :lol:

Love ya,

umm Last Samurai? great film, i cried :lol:

I watched that and thought it was ok. I don't think there was enough hot looking guys for me to really enjoy it, though.

Guest My_Genesis

Man for All Seasons was pretty good, if you haven't gotten to it since it's been posted. If you only like stuff w/ hot guys in it..well most of the main characters are guys. lol.

Also all those Shakespeare theatre productions they did in like the 70's? British Theatre or something? I was never much of a Shakespeare fan though so I couldn't tell you for sure. lol. Something I had to watch in school :P

Oh, I also saw 300 (idk if that's even considered medieval...?) I actually didn't care for it cuz the effects seemed too fake to be believable, made it cheesy. but i didn't realize first time around that lena headey was in it so I wanna watch it again :P Most people I've spoken to liked it though. I'm just weird I guess haha.

also i did some googling for you :)

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
