Black Hawk Down
Gunga Din
Flyboys
Shogun

Worst historical movies

Pearl Harbor
Home of the Brave

 

[Jeff]

That looks great. Seeing that trailer reminds me of "Solider of Orange" one of Rutger Hauer's first films.

I wonder if Inglorious Bastardes will end up here as a loved or hated...

 

[busso_boy]

dislikes:
1. Pearl Harbour - for all the reasons above
2. Hell is for Hero's - can't stay awake for the whole movie no matter how hard i try
3. Australia - not very patriotic of me, but it was shiit

like:
1. Zulu - not true to history, but well done anyway
2. The Patroit - not sure on the history, but thought it was more than just a blood n guts war movie
3. All Quiet on the Western Front (1st version) - still not as good as the book, but enjoyable all the same

This has the potential to be either...If it were real.

Havent seen it. Paul Verhoeven has done a movie to which is quite good except for some props and uniforms.

Very good acting by David Schwimmer actually and of course Leelee Sobieski.

Anoher Finnish war movie. They do quite a few, and most of them are good.

Unfortunatly no subtitles in this trailer and bad sound.

I forgot to put these on the WORST list.

The Crossing

Benedict Arnold

These have to be two of the worst Revolutionary War movies ever made.~Gary

 

[Uruk-Hai]

What is this Avatar of yours, Gary?

Janne,
It is the Boyscout from the up-coming movie "UP" from Disney/Pixar.
I am taking my younger cousins to it when it comes out. Looks like fun.

Benedict Arnold was a horrible movie in my honest opinion... I forgot it existed.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Thanks Hiroshi!

I havent heard about it but I bet it will hit "The land of the Aurora Borealis" as well.

Cheers

Did anyone mention Mongol? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416044/

I don't think it was overly accurate, so from a historical standpoint it may not rate highly, but it was certainly well made and entertaining.
