1.Braveheart [1995] starring: Mel Gibson, Sophie Marceau, Patrick McGoohan, Catherine McCormack directed by: Mel Gibson January 29, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Let's get this straight from the start - I am a very poor historian and know very little about whether the events portrayed in this novel are closer to fact or fiction, except for what I have read from other reviewers who complain about the historical innacuracies in Braveheart. I guess that is part of why I was so open-minded when I saw this film - I didn't really mind (or should I say notice) any deviances from the reality of what happened, really all I was looking for was a good film to watch with perhaps a little history thrown in, and that's exactly what this film provides. Following the story of William Wallace who, after his (secret) wife Murron MacClannough is killed by Englishmen who are supposedly keeping 'order' in Scotland, ... Read More:

2.The Charge Of The Light Brigade [1936] starring: Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Patric Knowles, Henry Stephenson, Nigel Bruce directed by: Michael Curtiz February 14, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.79
errol flynn was the first superstar hollywood produced in its veritable stable of stud horses and here he leads the famed charge against the crimeans which is celebrated here as highest valour without question . the historical blunder and misconsctruction aside ,curtiz did not even get the geography of india right with elephants and tigers in the frontier province,and names like lohara and chukoti mixed with delhi and calcutta , this is the romantic nonsense that was to engulf popular mainstream cinema because a leading man was able to fulfill the audience fantasies despite total incompetence in both reel and real life, flynn was flamboyant ,charming and he made olivia de haviland a star alongside as they were the golden ...

6.Alexander The Great [1955] starring: Richard Burton, Fredric March, Claire Bloom, Danielle Darrieux, Barry Jones directed by: Robert Rossen March 20, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.95
The faux Shakespearian dialog by Robert Rossen not only induced me to chuckle but it has the unfortunate effect of inspiring Richard Burton to give a bellowing, mannered performance -- maybe hoping to distract from his pitifully non-athletic physique and grotesque blonde wig. The direction, also by Robert Rossen, reminds me of the worse of the old Italian sword-and-sandals films with failed efforts to make a cast of tens seem larger and make cheap sets to look lived-in. The history is mix of authentic and questionable, but the vital importance of military tactics has been reduced to simple brute force in cheaply staged battle scenes. Lovely French icon Danielle Darrieux (in a dark wig -- contrary to Burton) comes off best as the embittered ... Read More:
