Name a few good historical action/war movies?

[Arkitech]

I'm a big fan of action or war movies based on a historical setting, anyone have some recommendations?

Here are the ones I've seen so far

Rob Roy
Kingdom of Heaven
Gladiator
Troy
Alexander
Attilla the Hun
The Patriot
Braveheart
Passion of the Christ
Gangs of New York
Rashamon

You've pretty much got 'em covered.

Saving Private Ryan?

Another one about d-day, but much older is The Longest Day which had everyone from Sean Connery to John Wayne in it.

WTF is the passion doing there? It was not historical or action-packed?

May as well put Rambo on that list

Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers - mini-series
The Great Raid
Heaven and Earth - Awesome Japanese movie.
The Last Samurai
Windtalkers

lol, I actually avoided that movie for the longest but caught it in HiDef on cable one night. It turned out to be really good and very depressing but a good movie. And although its technically not an action movie, the scenes where Jesus is tortured are by far the most intense I've ever seen so far. I thought Saw and Hostel were brutal but somehow they don't stack up to the Passion.

Clash of the Titans
Jason and the Argonauts

I forgot about The Last Samurai, that was a good flick. I have Heaven and Earth in my netflix que.

Rob Roy- Good
Kingdom of Heaven- Meh
Gladiator- Historically inaccurate.
Troy- ...See above, times a million
Alexander- ...See above, times a trillion
Attilla the Hun- Never seen it
The Patriot- Biased towards British
Braveheart- Good
Passion of the Christ- Good
Gangs of New York- Pretty good
Rashamon- Never seen it

Add to the list:

Patton
The Longest Day
The 300 Spartans
Spartacus
Ben Hur
Platoon

Yes, I'm leaving Full Metal Jacket off that list. It's not a very historically accurate movie.
