What's ur top 3 films

The two movies about Arn are so underrated it hurts. It's not only fantastic at the action and about the wars he takes part in, but also shows the everyday life in a really realistic and accurate way. Not only are we shown the everyday life of Arn, but also the people closest to him. So great movies for people interested in Medieval Scandinavia, although most is in Swedish so subtitles will be required if you don't speak it XDDD

@@TheBarser The story is mostly fantasy yes, but I was talking about the small stuff. I don't know what you count as realism, because I was focusing 0% on the story. I was talking about the clothing, the food they ate, the houses they lived in, how they lived in small towns close to each other, how the nature looked, even slightly on the politics and the religion

This makes me happy. I have taken a lot of flak from my family over the years for my love of Kingdom of Heaven. I class it as an interesting failure on Ridley Scott's part as opposed to Gladiator which was a howling success that I enjoyed but never felt I wanted to watch again. I also like Ironclad which I felt you were a little hard on. It has a fantastic cast and in a weird way reminds me of Last of the Mohicans. I guess I just love siege movies. Centurion I have seen and enjoyed and this renews my desire to see Risen. Will check out Arn as well. Thanks.

Another Biblical historical novel, which was turned into quite a good film is Barrabas by Par Lagerkvist, which was written in the mid-50's. It was made into a film in 1961 starring Anthony Quinn and it was directed by Richard Fleischer. That is probably the best American Biblical film of its period.

Agree that the movie wasn't very accurate (e.g Balian wasn't born in France, and wasn't locksmith). However, can't agree on some points. Baldwin the Lepper King in the movie was not Baldwin V. In fact in the movie it was never mention which Baldwin he was. In the history the Lepper King of Jerusalem was Baldwin IV who was indeed Sybille's brother while Baldwin V was indeed her son. Regarding Balian of Ibelin he was far from being the very minor player. He was in fact THE king maker supporting Raymond III of Tripoli over regency of Baldwin the IV and later over Baldwin V and of course the last commander of the defense of Jerusalem.

Hello, I am an Iranian and I am proud of the great and proud history of my country. Throughout the history of Iran, there have been many betrayals, and I repeat that all countries have had problems with us Iranians and were jealous and sometimes afraid of our greatness. I am a pacifist person and I don't like war, but I see in all the histories of other countries for Iran that they have not said many things and have problems with us. It is true that Iran is not a good country in 2024 and dictatorial events will happen there, but if you were in Iran before the Islamic Revolution of 1357 and you saw the strength and power of Iranians who were first or among the top ten countries in many important issues, you would be surprised. you would be beaten You may not know that during the Pahlavi rule in Iran, the Shah and several other countries were creating a dollar in the name of OPEC, and the United States of America did many things out of fear of the currency falling and the dollar becoming less valuable, which unfortunately succeeded. . So don't joke with us humans who have 7500 years and more valuable history with these lies. Be sure that in most countries of the world (the planet) there is a lot of dictatorship and coercion to the people, and the country of Iran always suffers from this great problem. But never forget that many things were done by Iranians and.... You may ask me that you Iranians have only had a good history, and I must answer that this question is 50% correct. Why? I will answer now. During 7500 years and more in this country, there have been many betrayals. Many worthless things have happened and always some people, whether Iranian, foreign, English or American, were looking for throne and power, and you should know that a country has not all its people good and has had many regrets and has taken away our reputation. Even now, as you can see, our country says it is good, it says it on time and that's it. The only person who built one of the largest governments with appropriate culture and technology ahead of his time in 7400 years ago, and most of the historians of the world know him, was (Koresh Kabir) and all

Most medieval castles were designed to be held by small garrisons. Taking them was the problem. Unless Rochester castles garrison was too small to hold the castle.

There was only a handful of people in the castle nowhere near enough to man it properly

I’d like to add another movie that is in this genre. The Eagle. Great cast and great acting. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat. Please check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Iron clad sticks out in my mind for the part where he chopped the guy almost in half from neck to groin.

Interesting, the only one i haven't seen is Arn. I'll watch out for it now.

Arn is somewhat similar to Kingdom of Heaven.

There are better historical movies missing from the list. South Korean "Admiral: Roaring Currents" (2014) about admiral Yi Sun Shin the best naval commander of all times, French "La Reine Margot" about events surrounding the Valois-Angouleme dynasty following the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre, Dutch "Michiel De Ruyter" (2015) about the best European admiral of all time, Japanese "The Battle of Port Arthur" (1980) about the bloodiest battle of the russi-japanese war... to mention some.

ADMIRAL is a remarkable movie based on truth. Yi Sun Shin is on most lists of the greatest Admirals of all time. In his most famous battle, he had only 13 ships, outnumbered by Japanese ships at least by 10x he defeated the Japanese without a single ship being lost. There is another awesome Dutch movie called The Admiral about Michiel de Ruyter, a Dutch Admiral during the Anglo-Dutch wars. He is also on about every top 10 best Admirals of all time along with Yi Shun Shin. Both movies had good acting and appropriate production budgets and they are fairly historically accurate. I'm a HUGE fan of historical period based films based on real life history and you can't go wrong with either of these!

The Centurian is an under rated movie, watch it. The Risen is a great idea; however, it would have been better if they followed the Bible. ;) Ironclad is a good movie, and I highly recommend it. Arn is good, but the ending made much of the movie unneeded.

Risen you said was white washed. Why? Israel would be Hebrew, Roman (Europeans) and generally Middle Eastern. So white and light brown people. Isn’t that what was shown?
