What is the best historical movie of all time ???

[Quasar44]

I am going with Schindlers List or the Pianist. Both movies great but unwatchable a 3rd time.

For pure fun it has to be Gladiator !!!!!!



Braveheart and Troy are ok too .

A Bridge Too Far.

Spartacus - 1960, starring Kirk Douglas. Won 4 Academy Awards & was huge box office hit.
