Anyone seen the documentery movie: The Battle For Middle Earth: 1066

About the viking invasions near york and offcourse the norman invasions in the south wich led to the famous battle of hastings.
It's really well done with alot of action maybe not high budget but it sure is historical accurate.

A knight's tale is still a good choice.

I like the "sport" feeling in the movie.


Pls gtfo. In all honesty, just, gtfo.


Now, as to GOOD movies:

The Vikings (1958, Kurt Douglas, Tony Curtis)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052365/

This movie has it all: Janet Leigh looking good, a man having an eye gouged out by a hawk, vikings "walking the oars", throwing axes at hot viking women, shield walls, the ORIGINAL of an idea used in the film TROY where archers burst out of shield wall to shoot and then cover, it has major characters being dismembered, it has Battle Mode, Siege mode, and Duel all covered, features shielders fighting 1 vs 2, swapping targets, like we do in crpg.

If you like Warband, and I assume you do cause your in this forum, THIS IS A MOVIE FOR YOU. Spend the time, it really is worth it.

Here it is for you. I oike this tbh, budget was HIGH I think for a TV movie but, well, it musta been a strange project from the start...

... a TV movie from a couple of years ago, not so many ppl have seen it, its....well, it's better than a Knights Tale, thats for damn sure, not far off historical accuracy.

Probably the only 'historical movie' ever made.

First battle in the first scene of the first episode of the Rome series.

I don't know if that's really how the Roman's fought or not (with the centurion whistling every 20 seconds and the legionnaires taking turns rotating to the front ranks), but this is one of the cooler battles scenes I have ever seen.

Fuck that 6.4 rating, the movie was amazing.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
