Name that movie

[Ulfang]

I've never seen it, but I'd guess Don Quixote, based on the garb.

Nope. Good guess but it's set in the 30 Years War

[Barthheart]

Hmmm.... Michael Caine and Lawerance Olivier......

Well if Lawrence Olivier is disguised as Omar Sharif.....

DOH! ::)

The Last Valley...

Funny how there's not too many movies on the 30 years war, considering it was such a horrific scrap.

[Jack Nastyface]

But speaking of which...around the same historical time:

[Barthheart]

... That's the one about the horse race across the Sahara Desert right? Just can't remember the name..... argh.... :-\

[Martok]

Starship Troopers.

Probably the movie that's farthest from the book I've ever seen....... :P

Then you haven't seen I, Robot. 

For as much as Starship Troopers deviates far from the book -- and boy, does it ever -- the former deviates even further.  In fact, the movie credits even admit that I, Robot is "inspired by" Asimov's book, rather than "based on".

Hidalgo?

The fact that the photo caption is visible and says 'Viggo' makes that an important clue... ;D

[Staggerwing]

Here's an oldie but goody. May be a bit tricky to ID. 1st hint, it's a TV movie from the 70's:

[Barthheart]

Is that from Maximum Overdrive?

[Centurion40]

Is that from Maximum Overdrive?

Yikes!  The best my mind could pull-out is "hey, isn't that the Stephen King movie where the machines become alive and try to kill people?"

[Ulfang]

The Last Valley...

Correct

[Ulfang]

But speaking of which...around the same historical time:

Captain Alatriste - The Spanish Musketeer perhaps?

I watched the DVD a few months ago, set during the Eighty Years War,  and it was pretty good.

[Windigo]

Killdozer, they kill it using a metal grid and electricity... BAD D-9 CAT!

[Jack Nastyface]

Hidalgo is wrong...Alatriste is correct.  Great books, terrible movie.
