Re: good historical acruatte movies?
You realize that list does not necessarily add up... go see quest for fire nominally sorta accurate I suppose and about as exciting as watching paint dry. If you want accuracy watch a documentary no movie is going to be since they are entertainment of one sort or another. Some movies that have decent battle episodes are incorrect in other ways etc. or just boring or bad.plz. not holywood crap such as braveheart,gladiator ,king arthor and all that

I would say you need to offer up an example what is a non Hollywood, not boring pre-gunpoweder era movie you do like with accurate battle episodes?Last edited by conon394; October 28, 2010 at 01:46 PM.

you say ''watch a documentry'' but im looking for a movie not a documentry. i do love creativity but not when its going to far. -
Re: good historical acruatte movies?
"Alexander" was fairly accurate. (More accurate then "Gladiator" anyway)

Re: good historical acruatte movies?
Don't think Gladiator was going for anything historically accurate besides putting in some known Emperors and giving them an angle and twist. The film was a drama piece. Originally Posted by Nikos

if you can your hands on decent english subtitles and have an interest in eastern european history i strongly recommend dacii, columna, mihai viteazul and mircea.
rome (the tv series) was quite accurate when it came to the general atmosphere and the way romans lived at that time. the whole pullo and vorenus thing is pure fantasy but apart from that it gets it spot on. in fact it is far more accurate than most history channel and discovery documentaries when it comes to roman lifestyle. you might also try the tudors, for the same reasons. -

Re: good historical acruatte movies?
Last of the Mohicans and Master and Commander are pretty accurate, they are both in a later period however.
Spartacus and Ben Hur are also great classics which are doing their best at realism despite the technology at the time not being that good yet for battles which is especially noticeable in the large fight in Spartacus. -

OK - I misunderstood you, sorry if I was being a bit of jerk.

True but odd choices I mean the tigers (although lions would have been more likely) and trap doors on chains held by people: reasonable and interesting ideal. The crossbows kinds silly.Don't think Gladiator was going for anything historically accurate besides putting in some known Emperors and giving them an angle and twist.

Re: good historical acruatte movies?
1) Stop spelling poorly.
2) Accurate movie =/= good movie.
3) Gladiator and Braveheart were far from crap. There's a very good reason they won the Oscar for best picture for their years: they were actually very good films.
4) Barry Lydon, Alexander, Kingdom of Heaven (director's cut), and Robin Hood are good choices. Relatively accurate; and the ones that aren't accurate per se get the atmosphere and "feel" of the era across, which is much more important in a film anyway.
