Best Ancient / Medieval Military History Movies: I'll start...

[Argoth]

Gettysburg.

Alatriste.

Kingdom of Heaven.

Rome. (Ray Stevenson is awesome)

[Lars]

It's just a blond, beardless beau playing one of the toughest fighters in history.

History?

[Joker86]

Well, it was more meant like "One of the greatest warrior characters in human cultural history". Something like that. You know. Next to John Rambo, Chuck Norris and John McClane.

Edit: Although I bet there WAS a badass warrior called Achilles at that time (around), although his skin probably was NOT impenetrable. 

[Adamar]

Jean of arc... For brutal combat and dark environment.

Kingdom of heaven... For the awsome.

[Casimir]

Ironclad:
I think the director and/or producer had to have played Warband – lol.  I mean come on, epic gatehouse defense, archers firing down on soldiers moving the siege tower, 1h hammer spam, polearm moves, 2h spam, shield walls, tin can cav, OP throwing… the whole nine. =P

Also the Templar is a badass ;)

[Xant]

I think he actually portrayed him quite well. Mind you, Brad Pitts ability for rousing speeches before battle leaves something to be desired.

I don't know man, I was plenty aroused.

this masterpiece

[HarunYahya]

Ahem.
Tarkan Viking Kanı (1971)
That's the best and most epic movie ever made.
And this is GTA style from Tarkan !

[bredeus]

Also the Templar is a badass ;)

[Draggon]

Lol, and banner balance wasn't working very well either.

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.

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. 

Welsh and proud!

The movie was not bad, but I wouldn't call it a historic one. Yes, it plays in the past, and there are some nice gore scenes, too, but still it's more some kind of "philosophic artist movie" than a typical historic movie. Life and events at that time play a too little role.

Basicly that movie was a let down. Way too slow pacing and it didn't offer what it promised; a crusade and fighting in the holy land.
