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

The Lion in Winter (1968) Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn

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

Movies by Era: The Renaissance and Elizabethan Eras

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 :)

      That is am what I planning on. Take the defensive driving class after the conviction and all goes away aside from the fine I pay. My vehicle is a commercial vehicle (10,000+ pound diesel pickup truck with commercial plates), but since I exclusively use it for personal use so I do not need or have a CDL.

      I seems like I am dreading going to my job more each day. So, I take it as a sign to jump ship. All the time I expect to be chastised. It is not a good way to have a job. I am on the hunt for a new one, however nothing has surfaced.   Kymmie

      Hi Heather, thank you for the welcome 
    • Lydia_R
      I'm currently on the ballot for an open US Representative seat in Portland Oregon.  Here are some of the news stories on me:   Rachel Lydia Rand on Ballotpedia: https://ballotpedia.org/Rachel_Rand#Campaign_themes KATU 2 (ABC) Know Your Candidates 2024: Rachel Lydia Rand https://www.katu.com/news/know-your-candidates/rachel-lydia-rand-d-congress-district-3 League of Women Voters Candidate Forum for US Representative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOoS39CTEOw KOIN 6 Written Interview | top issues, what's going right https://www.koin.com/news/politics/rachel-rand-on-running-for-district-3-top-issues-whats-going-right/ League of Women Voter's Interview with Rachel Lydia Rand https://youtu.be/V5o9RKE3WVo     This is my third time running for US Rep.  Campaigning is very challenging for me because I only have two family members still alive and I've spent less than 2 weeks with them in my life and I have virtually no social network to start with and I don't belong to any social media sites.  I haven't even been able to post here and on sites like it because of rules about self-promotion.   I'm boldly saying in these videos that I want to be appointed to vice-president in the next 5 years.  My platform is about addressing climate change and everything that comes with it.  Population decline is the number one proposal I have and it is very, very scary and controversial for most people.  The way I see it is that oil is more than a fuel we burn in our cars, it's a substance we pave our roads with.  And it will run out, so at some point in the future, most of these roads are going to go away and we'll have a much harder time distributing food.  I play chromatic pennywhistle and I'm this iconic whistleblower politician saying that we will not be able to support 10 billion people at the end of the century on wind and solar power.  Even solar panels are made with oil and there isn't much difference between a wind turbine and a dam.  If we can build skyscrapers and nuclear power, then you'd think we'd be able to figure out how to make a wind turbine 100 years ago.  It's simply not as efficient.  The numbers I've crunched say that if we have one child for every two women for the next 40 years and then go back to normal replacement rate, we'll get our population down to 2 billion by 2099 which is where the world was at in 1950.  If we don't do that and stay on this current path for the projected 10 billion by 2100, then when oil runs out and climate change raises sea levels and floods coastal cities, humanity is going to be in a very uncivil situation.   I'm sorry that I'm not making a huge issue of transgender rights.  Of course I'm here to support our community.  I'd be highly visible on our national and international scene as a transwoman.  I tend to focus on engineering realities rather than these social issues.  It upsets me that people take engineering for granted.  People tend to just get in their cars and think that there will be some space age technical solution that will make it all OK.   OK, that's my rant for the day :-)  Coffee is on.  4:26am.  The ABC station is interviewing me again in a few hours and people can vote for me today.  Please consider spreading the word.  I'm only one person and it takes an incredible amount of effort to keep my political thinking and platform going.   Sincerely, Rachel Lydia Rand Jazz Musician | Software Engineer

      "Exstatic" is an adjective that means feeling great rapture or delight. For example, "His wife gave birth to their first child, and he was ecstatic about it". Synonyms of "ecstatic" include rapturous, entranced, enthusiastic, and frenzied.

      Absolutely. Being able to encourage, to help, others is so empowering. I've been helped by so many people over the years, I love being able to pay it forward.
