ITT: Historical figures that would make great movies

I'll start

Why hasn't someone made a movie about this guy?

Majorian's life would make a great film. The part where Ricimer stabs him in the back would be heart-wrenching.

Barry Goldwater. Story of a man victim of slander by a tricky Texan twat

But they did

Id like to see a movie about tthe song of roland

>no vampire retardation
>cast pedro pascal

The Muslim butthurt would be glorious

...

You just fucking expect things
I've spent over five million dollars on you
I'll put you in the fucking rose garden you bitch
I deserve to be blown first! I should have woken you up and said: blow me, bitch!

>I'll put you in the fucking rose garden, you bitch

Speaking of which, a gritty series on the Great Purge up to Khrushchev's foiling of pic related would be nice.

Xenophon

Why is the Anabasis not a two part movie?

Belisarius or Flavius Aetius. A movie about the last true Romans wouldn't go amiss.

Too Gladiator / Alexander.

>Flavius Aetius.
The Attilla the Hun movie starring Gerard Butler covers Aetius , Aetius is played by Powers Booth. It was a 2 part TV movie.

Pssssssss!
Amazing!
Directed by Herzog!

I remember this cheesy and badly acted

It's allegorical in the same way Braveheart was, maybe you should watch it with different glasses.

how is that even an argument

>It's not shit if you perfume it

An argument? I said you probably haven't a clue about storytelling.

Amazing story. Didn't know who that guy was. Thanks for sharing.

Today I learned
>there were black bands roaming around Europe
>there was piracy in the North Sea
>Zweihänder is as badass as always, and proven effective in combat

Look, it was badly acted, badly filmed and badly written low budget and there really is nothing you argue about that

>Who will play him in the inevitable adaption?

underrated

Either Alcibiades or Demetrius, and not a movie but a high-budget TV series, 3 or 4 seasons long.

Same with this one, especially with all the refugees

Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Germanicus

...

" There are also several dozenfilms, including several with the title ofMiyamoto Musashi.One of these, released in the English-speaking world asSamurai I: Musashi Miyamoto, is a film byHiroshi Inagaki, the first of theSamurai TrilogystarringToshiro Mifune."

Captain in the Finnish army, lieutenant in the SS, Major in the US Army.

In the same vane, count dooku led a stellar life

>knowing Christopher Lee as Dooku

Even Saruman is pleb tier but at least acceptable.

Is he the dude that hated commies so fucking much he joined three different armies to keep killing commies?

How the fuck have I not heard about this guy.

The Warriors is a retelling of the Anabasis, if that counts. Excellent movie in any case

>PACK OF NIGGERS!

I'm happy to have learned of this man. Fucking legend.

No ones mentioned Gonzalo Guerrero. Shameful Veeky Forums.

Alcibiades. Yes. Enough material for a Game of Thrones scale epic.

A movie based solely on the two days of the battle of Bannockburn. Main character would naturally be Robert the Bruce.

Joshua

Etienne de Vignolles
or Jean Poton de Xaintrailles.

this.

him and Lu Bu
