Best Movie

[King Jan III Sobieski]

What's everone's favorite historical period movie (i.e. Gladiator, Constantine (NOT the one with Keanu Reeves ), With Fire and Sword, etc.

Lets try to keep the answers confined to movies dealing with the periods/wars dealt with in the TW series, eh?

If we're talking strictly in the time period that the games take place, then Gladiator. 300 is really good in my opinion though it is a little off of the time periods we're talking about.

ummm well not covered in a time period of TW but Zulu, and this one is.... Braveheart(mainly for the action scenes)

[Martok]

I'll second Braveheart -- it's easily in my list of Top Ten movies.

For other historical period films, I also enjoy Spartacus, Gladiator, Troy, and Elizabeth; but of course the latter two don't fall within a period covered by any of the TW games.

Well I enjoyed 'The Emperor and the Assassin', which covered the famous story of the attempted assassination of Prince Zheng of Qin by Jing Ke just prior to the unification of the Six States, when Prince Zheng became Shi Huang, First Emperor of the Qin (RTW period). I also enjoyed Kagemusha, which was about the death of Takeda 'Shingen' Haranobu, his succession by his son Katsuyori, and the diasterous Battle of Nagashino (STW period).

Both of those movies were excellent are re-creating the history and got most of their facts right. Which is more then I can say for most western history movies.

[YAKOBU]

I'll have to add Last Of The Mohicans to the list.

Great action, and ended up with a lump in my throat.

Braveheart was deep.tho theyr were a few inaccuracies,mel gibson potrayal of william wallace was great.Second id have to say alexander.

It'd be a tie between Gladiator and Braveheart... both are absolutely great, although historically inaccurate.
