Volume 38What is your Favorite historically based film and one you wish they would make?
Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
Alan Massaro on Facebook asks, What is your Favorite historically based film and one you wish they would make?
That is an easy question. The greatest historical movie, and my favorite movie of all time, is Lawrence of Arabia.
Oddly enough, despite my love of the movie and my several visits to Wadi Rum in Jordan, I have yet to do an episode on either TE Lawrence or the Great Arab Revolt.
A great historical movie doesn’t necessarily mean it was accurate. There is always dramatic license taken when adapting history for the screen. Other favorites of mine include:
Patton
A Man for All Seasons
Cleopatra
A Bridge Too Far
The Passion of Joan of Arc
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters
The Last Valley
Kingdom of Heaven (the Director’s Cut)
As far as what I would like to see, I think a film on the Battle of Alesia would be really interesting.
