Greatest historical/fantasy epics

	Kingdom Of Heaven - Definitive Edition [DVD] [2005] by Orlando Bloom Buy new: £8.27 / Used from: £5.00 How did I not know how great this was until I bought it? This medieval epic is massively underrated, with a great story, cast and wonderful cinematography. Very objective, wonderfully told.
	Gladiator (3 Disc Extended Special Edition) [DVD] [2000] Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £3.97 Gladiator is a brilliant tragic story, with brilliant battle and fight scenes, a great look and believability and always intruiging story. The cast is great, and the music superb.
	The 13th Warrior [DVD] [1999] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.70 A brilliant fantasy adventure set in the dark ages of northern Europe. The cast beyond Banderas is largely unknown, but everyone is brilliant. Exciting, funny, entralling and stirring.
	The Warrior [DVD] [2001] Buy new: £3.38 / Used from: £2.00 A brilliant action epic from korea. Stunning fight scenes, cinematography and overall feel. The cast is great and the characters are all well formed, Exciting, nerving and sometimes moving, watch it!
	The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition Box Set) [DVD] Buy new: £14.98 / Used from: £13.95 You don't need me to tell you how good this is. But you should definately get the extended editions if you are a fan of either the books or the films in general, its really worth it.
	Sword Of Xanten [DVD] [2004] Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.24 Surprisingly good made for tv effort telling an ancient Norse legend. Though the acting is sometimes bad and the script a bit shoddy,its great for its story and action. Kristinanna Loken is lovely.
	Clash Of The Titans [DVD] [1981] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.85 A classic that proves stop-motion can stand up to CGI anyday. A great adventure story telling of greek legend; the fight with medusa is one of the greatest ever, and the story is pure magic.
	Jason And The Argonauts [DVD] [1963] Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.18 My favourite film as a child that really got me in to fantasy storytelling. Though sometimes slow moving and the ending is a bit 'huh?' It's like watching an old tale, and fills me with nostalgia.
	Brotherhood Of The Wolf [DVD] [2001] Buy used from: £0.49 A great french action fantasy telling a story of a strange cult, a beast roaming feudal france, and a really cool Native American dude. Monica Belluci is lovely.
	300 [2007] [DVD] Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.50 A very good boys movie. Great action scenes and a solid portrayal of a Greek King by Gerard Butler. Very comic-bookish, focusing on visual effects and cool looking things over characterisation.
