Movies to get in the mood

[Agrippa43]

With the release upcoming I have been looking for movies that portray the era well and have that EUIV feeling.

I just finished the two Elizabeth films. Any other suggestions?

Something I never really got was how Elizabeth 2 took place in a completely different time period, with cars, and everything. It was bad enough that they didn't even get somebody who looked like the woman from the first one. I mean, has nobody head of consistancy?

Not a movie, but the Showtime series The Tudors is amazing.

Age doesn't matter in the slightest. its still a 10/10 masterpeice of a film

May i somewhat-semi hijack thread and ask, are there any good films about or set in the English civil war?

 

[Agrippa43]

Kind of an old 60s flick, but Cromwell is a good film. In color too!

I approve.

Also, one of my favorites that I highly recommend is Muhteşem Yüzyıl, based on the life of Suleiman the Magnificent and his Ruthenian slave wife's gradual rise to power. It is available in a variety of languages, not English though.

 

[Lightning Jack]

The Last of the Mohicans.

Barry Lyndon.

Everything you need is in Barry Lyndon.

I fully endorse this message. An absolute masterpiece of a film.

Not a movie but The Devil's Whore was a good BBC mini-series. Infact, you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twur4jSsQu8

There is a great battle scene in episode 2 or 3 I think.

Enjoy!

Any great Documentaries to get in the mood? The advent of YouTube has made me a bit of an addict for good documentaries.

The Mission.

I think I fell asleep when I tried to see it though.

The Longitude
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude_(TV_series)

(it's listed as mini-series, but I still count it as movie )

It's a beautiful movie about John Harrison and his clock, which was very important during the Age of Discovery. It's also told as a story within a story - and both stories are based on real events, the clocks are what binds them together.
Jeremy Irons and Michael Gabon in main roles.

I've seen it 5 times and it's still one of my favourite movies

It's kind of set right at the end of the game's timespan, but Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World always gets me in the mood to play EU3. Everyone here has already probably seen it or heard about it, but it's about the the captian and crew of a British ship which has orders to hunt down a French vessel that far outclasses their own off the coast of South America.

The battle scene in The New World. You can safely skip the rest of the movie though.

Yes I agree. I've seen it 3 times. I will do a quick search of youtube and see if it on there to watch.
