    Maybe my go fund me page for grays kidnapping might generate a bit of cash. Could always go with the cheaper kidnapper

    One of the worst most historically inaccurate films ever produced.

    Always interested in finding films to watch, any good recommendations for historical films? I like all that swords and bows and arrows stuff!

    Try "El Cid" which is a cut above a lot of historicalish mash-ups. As opposed to Costner's Robin Hood reaching Sherwood Forest from Dover via Hadrian's Wall.....

    A wide genre to cover EBH. Wars, biographies, true crime. Letters from Iwo Jima, Unbroken, 10 Rillington Place with ****ie Attenborough, Gandhi, 37 Days (build up to WW1), All The Mornings Of The World, Beneath Hill 60, The End of St.Petersburg, The Bridge or Die Brucke. Come And See. Danton, Downfall, Europa Europa, Gallipoli, Gandhi, Generation War, Germany Pale Mother, G et ty sburg, Goodbye Lenin, Hacksaw Ridge, Hangmen Also Die, Ivans Childhood, John Adams (series), Journeys End, Katyn, The Killing Fields, Lacombe Lucien, Lidice, The Lives of Others, Master & Commander, A Midnight Clear, Napoleon (Abel Gance the director), La Note Bleue, The Passing Bells, 1917, Peterloo, Son Of Saul, Sophie Scholl, The Sorrow & The Pity and Bondarchuks Waterloo and that is just a sample.

    Some of the titles in my own very large physical library. A couple are documentaries like The Sorrow & The Pity and many relate to World War 2. I've not seen too many films based on ancient history that are very accurate. I mean the tactics used in Gladiator for instance were laughable not to mention the lack of scale. Gandhi, La Note Bleue (the last days of Chopins life), All The Mornings Of The World an account of the meeting of two pre-eminent Baroque composers Marais and Colombe and a meditation on life itself are biographical. Those in bold are foreign language films with subtitles. Don't ever let that put you off. There is a wealth of great cinema worldwide. You may enjoy Red Cliff as well an account of the end of the Han empire in China. Kesari is based on one of the greatest last stands in history. 21 Sikhs resisting some ten thousand Afghans in one of the Anglo-Afghan wars.

    His work with the scriptwriters makes it all the better. Well rooted in the history of the period. Vikings is based on what is likely a lead character who is an amalgamation of several. Warriors Of The Storm onwards will provide the basis for season 5 onwards. He also as you know HF wrote the Sharpe novels.

    Yeah he has done The 100 years war, (specifically Agincourt) The American Civil war (Copperhead series) a totally new look at The king Arthur legend and some stand alones, including the building of Stonehenge, The US war of independence and periods inbetween, as you can tell I'm a big fan.

    If you want Roman stuff read Ben Kane, Simon Scarrow

    Another very good historical author is Conn Igulldon. His Gengis Khan books were awesome.

    I bet you thought that people came on this thread to only read about football ;)

    I think Toy Story was more historically inaccurate.

    I really enjoyed all four films in the series. Great for adults and children.

    I started an argument on a FB history page the other day by saying the Scots were actually the baddies.

    I read the LK books but lost interest in the TV show after the second series. It started to go round in circles a bit.

    I've read nearly everything by Cornwell. I also love local boy Conn Iggulden (Chorleywood man).

    I'm currently reading The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follet. The Pillars of the Earth was one of my favourites and this acts a prequel. A World Without End was the second book, set after both of these.

    I've just finished A Column of Fire, the third in the Kingsbridge trilogy it starts with "Bloody Mary" on the throne, (which looks to now be a quartet)

    Ah yes. I vaguely remember that one. I've read a lot of books set during the Tudor era so they blend into one after a time.

    He needs to brush up on his history though. Maybe this is why its dragging out.

    Ironically, the Scotti were originally a tribe from what is now Ulster...

    Edward Longshanks was a hero. Wallace was a traitor. Got what he deserved.

    Which king? The compromised John Balliol who had been repudiated by the Scottish nobility, or Edward I who was an (eventual) unsuccessful conqueror?

    Typical Bedwetter logic.
