Movies Based Thousands of Years Ago: Ancient Movies

[uranium]

Caligula, anyone seen that? Lots of orgies, crazy movie...

lol my friend and I watched that movie a long time ago and it was one of the orgies and this guy was doing a girl from behind I guess and he put his arms out like he was flying. It was like the funniest thing we had ever seen.

If lord of the rings makes your list, how about something a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away?

The Return of the Jedi (with Ewok archers!)

I loved that movie, what were those little fluffy things that helped leah when she crashed? Those things remind me of a furby

[scumbag]

no ones mentioned Kingdom of Heaven, at least to my knowledge

[Epinephrine]

is troy really worth a look? i heard it was just a shitload of epic battle scenes spliced together with a storyline smothered in weak sauce.

i have this documentary series (6 parts) about the knights templar. it's absolutely fascinating! :>

Try isn't really that good at all, even though I enjoyed it on a 'cool bigass battle' kind of way. It's quite inaccurate compared to the Iliad/Odyssey and some parts are just silly. It doesn't help that all the 'big lines' in the movie are directly ripped from Gladiator. If you like bigass battles it's fun, or else it's pretty crappy. Hero is a much better movie (although if you want a historically accurate movie like Hero, The Emperor and the Assassin is the way to go).

Troy was ok ... a tad overrated tho.

[Sleepy Weasel]

Troy was what you'd expect. It's worth watching for free.

Lord of the G-Strings

***Spoilers***
The wearer of the g-string becomes incredibly horny.

Good plot, good film.


Not as ancient but faily epic - Lawrence of arabia, The charge of the light brigade, Zulu, Henry V.

[Jason]

oh yeah, and i have to plug this one for obvious reasons...

JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS

[Tone]

Glorifying and romanticizing the sick, animalistic and barbaric past filed with death, suffering, superstition and ignorance. Sadly, we've only come a little ways since

[Roggan]

Hero. There's not as much in the way of warring armies, but there's definately action, there's definately love, but most of all, there are definately lots of archers.

Dont watch it unless you know chines (or japanese, dont remember sorry), or if you enjoy reading words through a long movie.

The action didnt impress me much, little to fake. (may be thinking of a differant movie)

not as ancient, but the Last Samurai's a pretty good film.

[Torn Wing]

Lolololol Passion Of The Christ And All The Religous Movies About The Old Testament.

[SpiderMage]

House of Flying Daggers, Shogun, pretty much any early Jet Li film

And tone... shut up man.

[Sufficient]

Magnificent 7 ... I think that's considered a samurai classic.

[Da1andonly]

whoever said kingdom of heaven, fuck you


Kingdom of heaven is shit. Wtf was his name..we'll I'll call him legolas then, yeah, so, legolas is this young blacksmith in england. He then decides to TRAVEL TO THE WEST, to the lands of the sand! Suddenly, he knows how to fight. He (note that he's a fucking blacksmith from england) then shows the local people (who's been living there for thousand of years) how to make wells.

Now this says enough, now already...
