Norman Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) I've seen a few great movies in this genre like 300, Troy , Gladiator , Saving Private Ryan, Tora Tora Tora , Dunkirk etc and honestly loved every one of them. I've always loved these real films as they carry the psychological edge of real life occurence and make the viewing more gripping. So, apart from those I mentioned above and a few other obvious choices like Schindler's list , Stalingrad etc. are there any other movies that are worth watching? Please suggest.

Jimmy Cliff Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'd recommend a couple of serial killer movies inspired by real life events - Memories of Murder & Zodiac. Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 @Norman Troy doesn't deserve a mention in your list. It is mythology, not history/real events. And the movie is a very bad adaptation of The Illiad, with some divergent sub plots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velu Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 if i am not wrong , 300 was a minor skirmish won by the Greeks which is glorified * 1000 times.. after this battle , persians went on to screw all the greek states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I6MTW Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Gladiator never actually happened. I mean it's based on roman history and facts etc but the characters and exact plot never happened. Braveheart happened but not in the way the movie was taken. The actual events and the one's depicted in the movie were totally different. Movie is inaccurate. But, still I like the movie. One of my favs, in the historical genre along with Gladiator. velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean not in the fictional cinematic way as shown in "Troy" , but still it happened. There are archaeological evidences in modern day Turkey which fits every Homer description of the city of Troy.

The character of a great monarch such as Xerxes was reduced to a joke by those racist b@stards. velu and Vijy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stradlater Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Border by JP Dutta was pretty entertaining by crapwood standards despite the liberties taken with it. Though if I had to chose one, I would go with either of The Pianist or Schindler's list, esp the former. A true cinematic masterpieces.
