Yesterday, I rented Dances With Wolves again. After many matinees 15 years ago, it still speaks to my heart, however fictional. Definitely a flick worthy of the big screen what with the expansive panorama's!

BraveHeart. Ya gotta love 'em wavin' their wankers in the wind and headin' straight into battle. By the way, that is historically accurate beyond Julius Caesars day. Crazy bastards...gotta love 'em. And ain't William Wallace the way: stand and do what's right only to be betrayed by your supporters. Ugly f#*king lot we are when we'll turn on our champion and protector for our bellies sake.

Riverdance. The movie contains more of the clicking and clattering of the clogs than the soundtrack. ...moves my spirit. Only movie I own, other than the good bad and the ugly I picked up at a yard sale cheap.

Tom Horn. Most probably don't recall this one but he was a real man when the old west was disappearing. A Steve McQueen flick. There's some dispute as to the historical accuracy but I like the movie version.

Mary Poppins. First drive-in movie I went to. Brilliant piece of joyous fun still. Better than the Wizard of Oz but not by a bunch. Julia Andrews and that amazing performance by Dick Van Dyke.

Various westerns and WWII flicks come to mind, like the Dirty Dozen or the Magnificient Seven but they aren't on par with those above.
