Their is also a 2002 tv series 4 parts called Napoleon.
A movie called Eylau (famous cavalry charge)
Charge of the light brigade (although out of this time period a touch)
Sharpes TV series on napoleonic times
Hornblower - the ship combat is awe inspiring

[MorganH.]

Lets not forget the Duellists

[Destraex]

the duelist was not napoleonic was it?
It certainly looks it though.... cannot remember.

[Oafus Magnus]

the duelist was not napoleonic was it?

Most definitely was. Also Ridley Scott's first film.

[Pussywillow]

Most definitely was. Also Ridley Scott's first film.

And very disappointing.

[T-Duke]

And very disappointing.

Are u crazy?
Best Debut Film award at Cannes, 1977.
Definitely one of his best in his great career, georgus actors, wonderful soundtrack and cinematography. The Duellist is romantic, evocative, intense, a real masterpiece, second only to the giant Kubrick's Barry Lyndon

I gotta second this review of The Duelists. Outstanding film, and a bit of an underground hit among U.S. Cavalry officers still.

I will say that when I first saw it, it was after finding a used VHS of it on e-bay. When it came out on DVD and I saw the film as it was ment to be seen...wow! Its one of those movies that needs the widescreen format with sharp and rich color.

[Dizoakius Maximus]

Yeah "The Duellists" was a pretty good flick, and I've only seen it from maybe 1/4 of the way through it. Plus, that was YEARS ago.

Never seen Barry Lyndon, but have heard it is pretty Epic.

Nice one thanks for posting!

[BigG]

That was pretty good, especially without the use of CGI...

That was pretty good, especially without the use of CGI...

If I recall, I think they used about half the Russian army to film it. Hehe.

[Choki]

Wow, nice to see you like people!
Mega Tortas thanks so much!

[Lord Nova]

Bingo- The red army helped with all the big action scenes

The Russian DVD import is the best version of this picture too cause they actually like it over there. In the west it was a flop so the DVD they sell in the USA doesn't remaster sound or picture and looks horrible. The Russian import get's 5.1 surround sound and the picture is touched up a bit. I think it's cause the director is big in Russia as well.

When ever I need a quick fix and don't have time to watch the full picture, I usually watch this

lyrics

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Usher in the rally cries
Revolution's here again
The emperor's bond's are broken
And free he shall remain

Escape, though narrow, Was demand
While his reign remained in view
This fight for France, Till bitter end
He must see it Through

Coalition forms of many lands
Against Napoleon, West to East
Dogs of war will take to arms
And soon will be unleashed

Prussian, Russian, and Austrian
All follow British lead
At allies' helm is Wellington
Who must make his Foe concede

Chorus
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be force to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
...And you will see your hundred days
Come to an end
Foreshadowed man of destiny
Soon you will be forced to see
Nations aligning against you
Marking the time your reign is through
...It lies before you, fate shall befall you

Quickly, the allies gather force
Near the Franco-Belgian line
While 124,000 French
March there in double time

As the battle begins
Napoleon springs his audacious plan
He'll attack them on two fronts
Splitting up his warring Band

As the Prussians sound retreat
Behind they leave 12,000 slain
Most of their force is still in tact
And will live to fight again

Wellington, Who felt the loss of 5,000 men
Would feel more under cannon fire
Bombardment from the French

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Of all the wars I have waged
To propel my nations might
For this I'll be remembered
From now 'till the end of time
If to the victor go the spoils
I may die an impoverished man
For in the end, Irony
Has dealt the cruelest hand

The French Force was swift and sure
but their attack would be repelled.
And though their center battered
the Anglo-Dutch line would be held.

As fate or skill would have it
an army moves in from the east.
The Prussians who slipped out of his hands
would soon spell his defeat.

The French lines now are broken
and being open to attack.
The Emperor has no choice
and the Old Guard pulls him back

There were 45,000 wounded or dead
when the fight was finally through
On a three mile square battlefield
at a town named Waterloo.

Yea, for years I could only find Waterloo on "VCD" and the quality was pretty bad, less than VHS quality. The Russian DVD is quite good.

The film is a bit odd in some of its cinematography (like the frame only focusing on someone's oily T-zone for a fraction of a second) but the battle itself is such a spectacle. I was reading about the filming after looking at this thread, and the Red Army pulled out all the stops to film it. 22,000 soldiers, plus I believe another 5,000 cavalry. A full 2,000 were trained to actually fire muskets for the camera. Imagine the budget to costume all those ruskies!

Yea, its got some of the hokey war movie gaffs in there like cannon that don't recoil and everything fired from a cannon is a shell, but its still magnificent. Its ashame that most of my fellow Americans don't appreciate history; they don't know what they're missing. When you realize how facinating and important REAL LIVING PEOPLE were just a few short years ago, then it makes the mindless dribble of most pop culture look as meaningless as it is.
