I really enjoy movies like Gladiator, Braveheart, The 13th Warrior, etc. What are some other movies like these that I should check out? I can't seem to find much at the video store.

Both Conan movies might be a good start.

There's also a film from the 70's about a group of Vikings landing in America. Someone here knows the name of that one for sure. It has a similar feel to that of 13th Warrior.

Though it's an older film, Spartacus is good recommendation. From watching one can see how much it influenced Mel Gibson in making Braveheart.

Excalibur.

The Norsemen, starring Lee Majors!

Lord of the Rings

Willow, Dragonheart, Star Wars to name a few.

I second Spartacus--as Harry Pearson said in a recent issue of The Pervect Vision, it's the only film about the Roman era one can watch without being embarrassed.

And I also second John Boorman's Excalibur--wonderful film.

 

[Neil Joseph]

I second Lord Of The Rings.

I've got news for Harry Pearson. I watched Gladiator and Ben-Hur, and wasn't the least bit embarrased in watching them, nor was I embarrased about loving both of them. In fact, Ben-Hur is superior in every respect to Spartacus in my opinion.
Just a take on Harry Pearson's opinion.

 

[Jack Briggs]

And I'm certain you're an absolutely wonderful person, Terrell!

Thanks for the comment. By the way, That comment was just meant in spite of Pearson's comment. I know most here do NOT like Gladiator. But I do.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll check some of them out. And Terrell, you are not alone. I love Gladiator. It's one of my favorite movies.
