Gladiator, Mongol, Rome (HBO series, I know it's not a movie, but you really can't deny its awesomeness).

Oh yeah, of course the greatest movie of all time, Shaka Zulu (1986).

You might like these titles as well:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058777/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080180/

They're not perfect (especially the second one) but for a Zulu fan it's all there is, although I'm sure you already know about 'em. :wink:

Also - i could go on with numerous titles now and many people will throw in anything they can remember of but it's all kinda pointless since its a matter of personal taste for movies.  :wink:

Do you honestly think you have any sort of moral authority, Reyiz? Go genocide some more armenians and deny it ever happened, please, and stay in the middle east.

'' Jeanne'D'Arc ''

'' Braveheart ''

'' Kingdom of Heaven (?) ''


Too bad alot of these medieval movies are filled with historical inaccuracies but they're atleast good.

I personally love Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Zulu (which Gnjus posted). Alexander isn't so bad either.

O and my girlfriends Indian and she got me to try some bollywood historical movies. Give Mangal Pandey - The Rising a go. It's actually rather good. And Asoka is the other I think but that wasn't quite so good.

If you doubt me just watch the hot dancing girls in Mangal Pandey:

A knight's tale is still a good choice.

I like the "sport" feeling in the movie.

I'm sorry, this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen...not just medieval movies...just the worst in total. :)

Has anyone seen Sparticus (1960), not the show, the show is utter fucking shit. If you like the show gtfo and never talk to me again.

Is this movie any good? I don't mind if its older, I just want a good, epic historical movie.

You mean ''Spartacus'' not Sparticus ( :D ) the movie from 1960? Yeah.

It's a good movie. My opinion isn't the same as everyone else but if i would give it a score i'd give it a 74/100.

Good stuff being a sweet soundtrack and good job by the actors. Gotta love TCM airing some of these classics though from time to time.

Double Post: But if you really really want a good medieval-ish movie that's not made in the 21th century watch ''El Cid'' it's a masterpiece.

What about Ivanhoe? I liked that movie.
(I've seen only the 1982 version of it, but it was very good.)

Yeah El Cid is golden, can't argue against that.

Erm, that Atilla the Hun movie wasn't THAT bad in my opinion, could've been better, but I've seen worse.
