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

From the beginning of film, movie makers have created fanciful stories set in faraway lands and in times long past. Watching a good period film, old or new, is perhaps one of the most enjoyable ways to spend an evening.

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 :)

      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.

      Good morning, everyone!!   A busy day ahead for me - need to cut the grass and then pick up the clippings. The grass grows so quickly this time of year. I cut almost 7 acres so that will take up most of my day. At least I can get some sun on my legs and arms!!   Time for another cup of coffee as I catch up here.   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      I started shaving my legs years ago - I started getting an occasional mild contact rash on my shins. That became my excuse to shave them for both me and my wife. Over time, the rash didn't expand...but my shaving did. Full legs....groin......chest......and finally my arms. Keeping the rash at bay was my excuse until I came out to my wife. Now I typically do a full shave on Sunday mornings. The hair is lighter but I just feel better with it gone - it helps with the dysphoria and dysmorphia. I will also typically do a chest touch-up mid week since I notice the growth more there.   I wish someone would invent a pill that would stop hair growth everywhere except on your head.

      Good morning.   im not sure where the time went.  I had a decent nights sleep,  didn’t  tell Alexa to let me sleep another 5 minutes,  I didn’t do anything extra but it’s almost time to leave and I just got here.  Definitely only a one cup morning.    I have the overhead console out of the Ford. It needed some repairs with toothpicks and glue.  Been sitting all night t for the glue to harden. I’m always to impatient with glue but not this time.  I want it to hold. Ok the next owner won’t be able to change the lightbulbs however in my defense, the are led so they will likely still work when the car goes to the salvage yard.   gotta go. Not as much on my plate at work today but it’s always busy.   Willow

      Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus.  It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down.  If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two.  My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it.   As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system.

      If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail.   If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options!

      Shaving my legs (very early on) was the first BIG STEP in my self-affirmation.  It also felt Real and Natural ... Finally (after all my years with fairly hairy legs). My wife was shocked but I think she thought it was 'OK' as long as didn't go any farther ... well that wasn't going to happen.  It was actually Step 1 of many to follow.  I did feel the need to hide it from others but eventually didn't care.  And, men shaving their legs is much more common these days. Home IPL (laser) made the hair removal permanent over the course of a year or so.  Whatever was leftover has been reduced to peach-fuzz by HRT. I don't deny or reject all my years living in the realm of cis-males ... it was part of my Journey to get to where I am today.  But since committing to HRT and living in an environment and community that supports my transition, I find it difficult to go back into Boy-mode.  The times that I do have to do that ... I can feel the dysphoria rising up again.  No going back ... at this point.

      Congratulations @EasyE on your continued progress! I think it was about 6 - 8 weeks for me that I truly started to notice (and feel!) the changes.  They were not enormous (no pun intended) but I could notice my breasts were starting to plump up and my hips also.    fyi - I talked to my Provider a couple of days ago and based on recent labs agreed that I could start progesterone.  I did a LOT of research and after expressing any concerns with my Provider we both felt confident in starting.  I have been almost a full year of estradiol and I think my breast and other body changes have started to settle down.  Hoping the 'P' will give them another jump start. Thank you for sharing your progress.  I think you're going to be Happy with with the next couple of months brings

      I have this one particular antivirus with the VPN, I thought I paid for everything to be activated, but it turns out to be I have basic protection and they want more money from me to turn it on. I wished the store salesperson told me this soon, I would have brought something else that has everything in it, not half protection missing lol

      Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that.  Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends.   It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being.  I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      It seems to me that antivirus software often acts like a virus.  McAfee is really tough to get rid of.  I got a laptop a few years ago that had it pre-installed.  Didn't want it, and the process to cut out every last piece of it took a long time.    As for VPNs, check out Ultrasurf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasurf   It may not be the best, but it is free and seems to bypass many government restrictions.  Its one of the few tools in GF's toolbox that I actually understand how to use.  As in...click the button!

      Hi Thea, I can relate to that, to this day I find video games that has female role characters in them, the ones that takes leadership.

      Divorce sux.  My husband has an ex-wife somewhere...far, far away.  I guess she turned into somebody completely different right after the marriage, and she divorced him after a couple of years.    My partner (his "Wife #1) married him pretty soon after that divorce, and I guess he kind of missed her back then, but that fades with time.  I wonder... is it harder to stay in contact after divorce, or harder to cut off all contact completely?    I was very clear with my GF when we got together years ago.... to choose me is to keep me forever, as a breakup (and heartbreak) would probably be fatal.  I told my husband and other partners the same thing.  Once I've made my nest, don't push me out of it.  I will curl up in a corner and make myself very heavy and hard to grab   Even GF has never said she wanted to get rid of me, although she gets frustrated with me sometimes.  I'm pretty sure I'm safe here.

      Odd that this topic showed up today. With the warmer weather approaching, I decided to do something about my legs. When I was in my twenties, my legs were quite hairy, but have become less hirsute as I age. I decided to mow the hair with my manscaping device to make eventual shaving less messy. This made me realize that due to a lack of limberness and practice, shaving might be a major undertaking, so today I applied depilatory from mid-thighs to my ankles (no hair on feet, fortunately). The odor wasn't as unpleasant as I expected (didn't use a common store brand*), and the results were gratifying. I'll try it on my chest next.   *I'm not sure whether mentioning product names is allowed – think of a musical by Lerner and Loewe.
