    I once saw a film about Vercingetorix, just can't remember the name... I think it was called 'Druids'. Good enough movie, and inside EB's time frame!

    Yes I think I saw it and wanted to suggest it too. (Edit: found it on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druids_(film))

    It really seems accurate - atleast it portrays the romans as defeteable, cruel (atleast more then in other movies - caesars line "I want a bloodbath" is really fitting). The gauls don't appear as unshirted fanatics charging at the roman fortifications. Really made for any fan of celtic culture/history.
    “Save us, o Lord, from the arrows of the Magyars.” - A prayer from the 10th century.

    From not mentioned

    “Dacii” (Romania – France 1967) – Dacii kicking Romans. Sad but true. Also Deceball is there. And no computer FX, epic battles with noncomputer solders, Roman legions, and so on…

    “The 13th Warrior”- kewl movie about Vikings, but inaccuracies in such detail as the armor conspicuous. Anyway it is really good movie.

    “The Vikings” 1958 – Vikings so Vikings.

    “Blood and flesh” – In my humble opinion, the spirit of Medieval was referred.

    “Beowulf & Grendel” - Gerard Butler (Leonid 300 , Attila the Hun)- fantasy, but history-related. BI period.

    And that French comedy “Les Visiteurs” 1-2 with Jean Reno and Christian Clavier. Even it is comedy, the characters were really natural, with their own medieval stereotypes and the way of thinking.
