Favorite period movie.

Hey friends! I have idea, very good idea! You have the opportunity to share your favorite period movie here! Movies about medieval era. Now the thing is, here you can share your favourite period movies with us. I believe everyone is thankful for your favourite period movie list. We like Medieval era? Yes, we like, share now! If you have opportunity then add here trailers too, about good medieval movies.

I believe this is in the wrong board. Maybe the Arts would be a better place.

Scared me for a minute with that title. I thought this forum had a sicko on their hands,but after reading his post I guess I am the sicko here.

Maybe, I dont know.

EXCALIBUR and Holy Grail.

Braveheart, First Knight,Robinhood Prince of Thieves,Excalibur,Monty Python's Holy Grail,Kingdom of Heaven, and another very recent medieval movie called Arn-The Knight Templar both 1 and 2.

Braveheart
Kingdom of Heaven

those is my all time favorites
i haven't seen that many movies so i cant say

Jeanne d'Arc is also not so bad, at least the fighting scenes are great.

Kingdom of Heaven, most definitely...

There are also some very good miniseries on the late period (mostly BBC based).

Kingdom of Heaven
300
Lord of the rings

I litterally watched Kingdom of Heaven last night. It's good to get an insight into how it was back in those days.

Well for me a Medieval movie is a movie where people fought with swords, and yes 300 is one of them in my book goes the same with Lords of the rings.

And I will add from my time (I'm old) Willow was very good

Kingdom of Heaven was one film I didn't like, it was rather boring and the acting was awful apart from the leper there, whatever his name is.....there isn't enough (good) films of this time period IMO. Braveheart was pretty good but very "Hollywood". King Arthur was slightly wierd. I would encourage somebody to do something special à la gladiator.

The maker of Gladiator is now filming Robin Hood with the same lead actor from Gladiator. Its gonna be badass .

Edward Norton


Nobody mentioned Robin Hood: Men In Tights.

They went around looking for fights.

You guys have to watch Warlords: 3 Kingdoms,Redcliff 1,2,and Battle of Wits. I am horrible at names when it comes to foreign movies and there is a few other Epic Chinese medieval films out there I watched ,but forgot the title. Those movies are the closest thing to a Total War game battle wise in my opinion, albeit setting is in the East.Shogun anyone? Epic battles with thousands of troops. The acting and directing are also top notch. The only crappy thing is that you have to watch subtitles since they are foreign,but they were done pretty well. Check your foreign section at Blockbuster,Hollywood,or if you are a little unscrupulous, online(free).

I like this movie, but there should be more fighting and actions scenes. I like beginning where they are in forest.

Monty Python's Holy Grail,Kingdom of Heaven
