My runner’s up list. See A Year of Period Dramas for my Top 10!
11. The Shawshank Redemption (this is probably one of my all time favorite movies, but not necessarily for its historical elements)
12. Saving Private Ryan
13. Little Women
14. Amazing Grace
15. Schindler’s List
16. The Prestige
17. Moulin Rouge
18. Last of the Mohicans
19. The Count of Monte Cristo
20. Iron Jawed Angels
This is one amazing list. I would only have added ‘Dances With Wolves’.
Thanks! I’m sorry to say that I’ve never seen ‘Dances With Wolves’ all the way through…it’s one of those movies on TV I always flip to right in the middle!
Haha, I cannot blame you for this, its a drag alright, but I guess I had in mind its ‘historical’ or cinematographic merit.
Well, you’re not the first person to recommend it for this list so I’m definitely going to watch it all the way through!
Thanks for the suggestion.
