What are famous /his/torical battles /tv/ thinks would make for

would sound like an awful movie of dirty violence
maybe spin it pacifistic a bit
Im not American so I aint getting hard for this kinda stuff

The siege of Tyre would be awesome, hanging on that island while the Greeks are building a fucking bridge towards you

I was thinking it would be meant to shock and horrify the audience at the graphic brutality. A sharp contrast from the bloodless violence of movies like Gettysburg or Gods and Generals. Think Cold Mountain's Battle of the Crater sequence, already one of the most brilliant battle scenes ever done imo, but extended to an entire film.

That German Castle story could be it.

Grant-Sherman broship movie when?

Siege of Szigetvár

>>82844901

I think they'd have a hard time finding actors to fill the shoes of Sherman and Grant but I'd be up for it.

yeah doing that for an entire movie would be awful

That's sort of like the second half of Hacksaw Ridge

I actually always wanted a to see a mini-series based on the air war in Vietnam. It could begin in 1967 or so we're introduced to some newly minted LT. pilots and watch them go thru 100 missions. They would have to fly F-105's or F-100's.

We would watched them fly the Triangle in the day and at night they run after nurses and ugly Vietnamese prostitutes

An HBO series about the crusades with 1 hour episodes for each crusade.

Chosin.

I don't trust Hollywood to make basically any historical movie at this point. The very best you can hope for is that they'll leave their hamfisted political messages out of it, but even then you'll still have to deal with characters who speak and behave more like modern people in costumes than actual people from the period.

Nero Claudius Drusus'(Germanicus) quest for revenge against Germany.
>Film starts with Teutoburg forest
>Roman soldiers being cut down left and right.
>Publius Quinctilius Varus gazes on the slaughter in horror and awe, before stabbing himself.
>Arminius cut's off Varus' head and holds it above the fray, as Roman soldiers are either enslaved or sacrificed and the dead nailed to trees.
>Cut to Germanicus recieving the news that Augustus has died(flashback to him being adopted into Julii) and he is now in control of the 8 Legions that are to invade Germany and reclaim
the Eagle standards lost at Teutoburg Forest.
>General kickassery and bloodshed.
>A very solemn moment at the site of the battle of Teutoburg Forest, where Germanicus renounces all previous ties to his former name, and swears to avenge his fellow Romans.
>All the while his uncle, Emperor Tiberius, is getting more and more concerned about Germanicus' popularity in Rome and how he is beginning to be seen as a better Roman than him.
>Then he discovers that Augustus once planned for Germanicus to be Emperor, but he went inot the military to avoid politics.
>The film ends with Germanicus, being the golden boy he is, talking to his Generals in Asia minor about how about Arminius.
>How that he was assassinated by the Germanic tribes for his failures.
>At the same time, he takes a bowl of wine from his fellow General Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, poured from a batch sent by Tiberius with a letter of instruction for Piso.
>To poison Germanicus.
>He takes a deep drink and grins.
>Then coughs.
>Germanicus that morning dead in his bed chamber and a letter denouncing the friendship between him and Piso.
>The films shows Piso being assassinated by Tiberius' men later and them making it look like suicide.
The film ends with a scene many years in the future. With some official, after placing a wreath upon the head of the new Emperor, announcing.
"rise Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus!"

a movie about the race riots on the USS Kitty Hawk would actually get made and be poignant if it was done right.
