Carl Theodor Dreyer
What do you consider to be the top 5 historical films?
10 points for the best-supported, most knowledgeable answer.
Mine are:
1. The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)-Carl Theodor Dreyer
2. Andrei Rublev (1966)-Andrei Tarkovsky
3. Battleship Potemkin (1925)-Sergei Eisenstein
4. Aguirre, The Wrath of God (1972)-Wernor Herzog
5. Napoleon (1927)-Abel Gance
Runners-up: The Leopard (1963), Birth of a Nation (1915), Intolerance (1917), Gone with the Wind (1939), Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) and Henry V (1944).
Historical, as in set in an important period in history, and generally (but not necessarily) dealing with real people, not as in the historical importance of the film.
i am going to agree with your list. I would add Roland Joffe's The Mission, the forgotten Milius classic The Wind and The Lion and the overlooked by teenage girls because it doesn't have Leonardo DiCRaprio A Night To Remember.
it is nice to see someone in Yahoo Answers who takes their movie watching seriously and doesn't think that Pirates of the Caribbean is the best movie ever made.

The Passion of Joan of Arc [VHS] $13.98 Carl Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc is as truly mythic as any film ever shot, its artistic achievement rivaled by its turbulent history. The focal point of controversy when released in 1928, the original film was lost for a half-century until an intact copy of Dreyer's original version was recovered in the early '80s.Seeing Joan of Arc today remains a cinematic revelation, its approach to sto... |

Vampyr [VHS] $10.00 In this chilling, atmospheric film from 1932, Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer favors style over story, offering a minimal plot that draws only partially from established vampire folklore. Instead, Dreyer emphasizes an utterly dreamlike visual approach, using trick photography (double exposures, etc.) and a fog-like effect created by allowing additional light to leak onto the exposed film. The ... |

Young lovers in a rural farming community are kept apart by the religious differences of their parents. But although the parents appear strict and ascetic, Dreyer gives them tender moments ... |

Carl Theodor Dreyer and Ordet $40 Regarded by many filmmakers and critics as one of the greatest directors in cinema history, Carl Theodor Dreyer (1889--1968) achieved worldwide acclaim after the debut of his masterpiece, The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928), which was named the most influential film of all time at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. In 1955 Dreyer granted twenty-three-year-old American student Jan Wahl the extraordinary opportunity to spend a unique and unforgettable summer with him during the filming of Ordet (The Word [1955]). Carl Theodor Dreyer and Ordet: My Summer with the Danish Filmmaker is a captivating account of Wahl's time with the director, based on Wahl's daily journal accounts and transcriptions of his conversations with Dreyer. Offering a glimpse into the filmmaker's world, Wahl fashions a portrait of Dreyer as a man, mentor, friend, and director. Wahl's unique and charming account is supplemented by exquisite photos of the filming and by selections from Dreyer's papers, including his notes on film style, his introduction for the actors before the filming of Ordet, and a visionary lecture he delivered at Edinburgh. Carl Theodor Dreyer and Ordet details one student's remarkable experiences with a legendary director and the unlikely bond formed over a summer. |
