Historical movies you want to see made

/\That would be an awesome movie to see.

Although it wasn't TECHNICALLY a war, I'd have to agree that a movie based on the struggles of Martin Luther King would be pretty awesome. Especially if it was done correctly and accurately.

Ah, the "good old days" indeed.

dear god eleven inches how long did it take you to come up w/ those 2 lists? Also i think ancient rome and greece is some what out, i still stick w/ a movie about the Crusades of the 11th Century.

The greek battle of which you speak eleven inches is the Battle at Thermopylae. It was originally 10,000 greeks vs. a million persians, but when they were betrayed, King Leonidas of the spartans ordered all the greeks to retreat and shore up defences further in greece, to hold off the persians for a time, 300 hundred Spartans (including Leonidas) remained and fought to the death, themselves killing 1,000's of persians before their end.

Alexander the Great
Hannibal
WWI, very few of those
Civil War (ron Maxwell better do Last Full Measure flawlessly after G&G)
Full Illiad w/the gods
Flying Tigers (Pre-WW2 in China)
Napoleonic Wars (if u can, watch the Sharp's movies)
Master and Commander (full volume)

Half of those Pharao's sucked 😑 Some ruled grand totaly of a month, hardly worth making a film about.

Now film about Hatshepsut would just kick ass!! Id love to see film made about her! 😎 That women kicked some major Egyptian male butts.

Also, while we're still in Egypt and talking about female Pharao's, a movie about Sobekneferu would be nice also.

There's a series of films based on a book series called Sharpe's ....... The movies are quite good, I would like to see a full length film on Nap

so those films were only on television right, if so that is what i meant, there have only been tv films not real mainstream hollywood type films. also

There are 2 Alexander The great movies coming out.

Alexander: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346491/
With Colin Ferrell.

Alexander The great: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327405/
With DiCaprio.

I guess both studios wanted to make an Alexander movie.

I would LOVE to see a modern movie about Erzsebet Bathory, a.k.a The Blood Countess.

How good would that movie be!

Romans Empire

NO NOT THE LEONARDO ONE please let the colin ferrell one be so great it will improve alexanders image enough so it doesnt loose alot when leonardo destorys it.

i say they should atleast hold one off for a year or two because just 1 yr after another alexander movie was made is too short a wait, god leonardo is gonna ruin my image of alexander.

Here's one no body probaly thought of: The Battle of Wake Island. For those who do not know, Wake Island was a small island in Pacific, west of Midway. The Japanese launched their attack against it a short time after Pearl Harbor. Both sides claimed the island to be lost. However, Wake Island stopped two attacks before the officer in charge surrendered. They managed to sink or damged several destroyers. I think this would make a nice movie. Wake Island is always overlooked
