Some of the best Ridley Scott movies fall under the historical epic and period drama genres, from Gladiator to Kingdom of Heaven to The Last Duel.
Few directors working today have ties to the historical epic and period drama genres quite like Ridley Scott does. The sorts of large-scale, often action-packed movies that he often makes were popular way back in the 1950s and 1960s, with big epics set long in the past like Ben-Hur, Spartacus, and also Biblical epics like The Ten Commandments all being huge upon release .
6 'Robin Hood' Just like it's possible to endlessly think about why yet another Book of Exodus movie was made in 2014 without finding an answer, so too can one be driven to madness when trying to rationalize the existence of another Robin Hood movie, made in 2010.
It's the rare Ridley Scott movie that comes in at under two hours, focusing on a personal story revolving around two men, and their years-long conflict against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. Said conflict leads to plenty of sword fights in the movie, with these sequences being well-executed, and the less action-focused stuff still remaining compelling, largely thanks to committed lead performances from Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine.
The events depicted likely happened, but much of the more intricate stuff is heavily fictionalized, which is a little easier to forgive when the events depicted happened way back in the 1100s. Kingdom of Heaven benefits from having some massive battle sequences, and a solidly told story that makes those at war easier to care about, overall leading to a very well-made epic that certainly deserves more love.
