100 Historical Movies in Order (read rules in 1st post)

[Rev. Powell]

44. Gone with the Wind (ends in 1873)

[Dr. Whom]

45. Zulu (1964)

Battle of Rorke's Drift 1879

[Rev. Powell]

Zulu would have been next up for me, too. 

46. Unforgiven (1992) (set in 1880-1881)

[Dr. Whom]

Then I follow up with

47. Khartoum (1966)

during the siege of Khartoum 1884-85

The nice thing about movies about battles is that they happen on one precise moment in time.

Off on vacation now. I wonder where you'll be when I get back.

48. The Miracle Worker (takes place in 1887)

[Rev. Powell]

I'm not supposed to go back-to-back, but it's been several days, so...

49. The Elephant Man (ends with the death of John Merrick in 1890)

[M.10rda]

I forgot that rule, but that's a lovely selection.

Well - I've got a great one for 1900 (I'm probably not supposed to say) - anyone else got one in the 1890s.......?

[Rev. Powell]

Go ahead please. I have one for 1902.

50.) PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK - 1900

So we have 126 years to cover w/ fifty films - could be worse!

[Rev. Powell]

There are many more movies set in the past century to choose from. We could potentially have 5 movies set in WWII, not even counting those set in the run-up and the immediate aftermath.

51. Breaker Morant (set in 1902)
