Looking for Elizabethan era films

[Heldrak]

The television series Elizabeth R (with Glenda Jackson as Queen Elizabeth at various stages in her life) is quite good...

The television series Elizabeth R (with Glenda Jackson as Queen Elizabeth at various stages in her life) is quite good...

Along with the Henry VIII series (which is 10 times better than The Tudors! even now being 40 years older) are probably some of the best BBC dramas around and well worth watching for period inspiration.

Thanks all, I just watched "The Sea Hawk" and am scouting about for the other films.

Just watched Elizabeth the golden years, it looked great. 

Glad to see it finally made, I fhink the script was written early in 1940

Cry of the Banshee is Elizabethan Not-Hammer starring Patrick Mower and Vincent Price

There is of course the Errol Flynn version of the Prince and the Pauper.

"Captain from Castile" with Tyrone Power is set during Cortez' conquest of Mexico - a little early for the period (beginning of the 16th century, rather than the last quarter), but the costumes are really closer to mid-to-late century.  Most of the Conquistadors are wearing morions (and not a sallet in sight); this was must be one of those films that gave people the impression that it was particularly a Spanish helmet.  Nice scene of the Conquistadors firing a tiny cannon (ala the Wargames Foundry gun).

Yep, a very good film, but don't expect spectacular battle scenes. The campfire dance between Jean Peters and Tyrone Power is more than worth the price of admission though.

.....er "Blackadder II" from the BBC 

Just dont take it too seriously....

You mean Elizabethan era Puritans didn't sit on a spike at the dinner table?? (one spike per couple -with the woman sitting on the man's lap because a second spike wouldn't be frugal).

[commissarmoody]

LOL! I haven't watched Black Adder in years. And its on instant watch on Netflix, going to watch it now. Thanks for all the ideals all. I just watched "fire over England" And "Captain from Castile"

[Franz_Josef]

Forgot to add two Errol Flynn films:  Don Juan; and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex.

What about "Aztec Rex" ? 

"Taking place in 1521 on the coast of Mexico, a group of Aztecs worships and makes sacrifices to a pair of living Tyrannosaurus rex. A group of conquistadores led by Hernán Cortés later arrive on the location and venture into the forest to make camp...."

This is the worst film I have have ever seen! so bad it was good!

I've never seen this, but my mind is now boggling.

So many innuendos.
