What are the best movies that have Arthurian subject matter, or at least something close to it? Ideally looking for things that play it straight, rather than trying to be subversive or comical.

If you want to mix things up with a weird hybrid, consider "GI Samurai"

Once again I feel a hankering for a historical war movie, ideally one focusing on a cool general or two. Got any?

tuyop posted:Looking for more genuinely hilarious and weird low budget movies, sci fi is a plus. I loved The American Astronaut and Dark Star for example. Maybe "Rubber" (2010). If you liked The American Astronaut, "Stingray Sam" (2009) from the same director is a second, similar low-budget musical space western.

Sergei Bondarchuk's War and Peace tetralogy is an outstanding adaptation.

I'm looking for globe-trotting adventure or spy movies. Ideally it's the kind that's largely an excuse for there to be a bunch of glamorous and exotic locations to have a fight, chase, or stunt in, and is at least somewhat possible to take seriously. But not James Bond.

I was thinking the other day about role models in media, and it got me wondering if anybody can point me to good romances (comic, dramatic, period, genre, whatever, as long as it is mainly a love story) in which one or both of the leads is notably a good person. Like, not merely that they are admirable, but that the film considers their morals important.

I want something dramatic, fun, or both in the sword-and-sandal genre, whether placed in a historical or mythological setting.

I'm looking for movies set in or around World War 2 in Asia. Not documentaries (unless you've got a really good one to suggest.) China or India in particular would be great.

I'm not expecting sunshine and rainbows here, no. But it's really just the setting that I'm asking about.
