50 years later... the chariot race scene is still top-notch

You need this one

for embarrassment. And you should use 37-42 of them. Shame on you.

It wasn't set in the 'Roman' era, but 'Lawrence of Arabia' is one of my favs and it had plenty of sandals and some swords as well.

No one should overlook the Robe. A very entertaining movie that was one of the first widescreen movies of all-time.

+1 The Robe was indeed the first movie released in Cinemascope. It is an excellent film. And I want to include the sequeal "Demetrius and the Glaidiators"

And, How about the two Hercules films with Steve Reeves? I thought they were great when I watched them as a kid. "Hercules" and "Hercules Unchained"

Tcan21 · 12-11-2009, 01:37 PM

Excalibur and Conan the Barbarian for non blus
Gladiator for blu releases

Grand Bob · 12-11-2009, 08:57 PM

Beastmaster had many showings on TBS way back when and I watched it every time (also saw it first run in the theater in '83). My favorite scenes are the ones with Tanya Roberts; also like the "tree-hugging carnivores". Unfortunately, we might be waiting a while to see it on BD.

Does "The Sword and the Sorcerer" count?
