1	The Last of the Mohicans (1992) more movies like this directed by Michael Mann featuring Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means, Eric Schweig, Jodhi May, Wes Studi Director Michael Mann based this lushly romantic version of the James Fenimore Cooper novel more on his memory of the 1936 film version (starring Randolph Scott) than on Cooper's novel (in fact, Philip Dunne's 1936 screenplay is cited as source material for this film). Set in the 1750s during the French and Indian War, the story concerns Hawkeye ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.24!

3	The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz, William Keighley featuring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains, Patric Knowles In order to avoid the material copyrighted by Douglas Fairbanks Sr. for his 1922 Robin Hood, the scripters of this Flynn version relied on several legendary episodes that had never before been filmed, notably the battle between Robin and Little John (Alan Hale Sr., who played this part three times in his long career) and the "piggy-back" episode ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.00!
4	The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) more movies like this directed by Kevin Reynolds featuring James Caviezel, Guy Pearce, Dagmara Dominczyk, Richard Harris, Luis Guzman The classic tale of swashbuckling adventure by the senior Alexandre Dumas comes to the screen in its umpteenth incarnation, this time from Kevin Reynolds, directing his first feature in five years.

5	Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) more movies like this directed by Henry Levin featuring Pat Boone, James Mason, Arlene Dahl, Diane Baker, Peter Ronson, Thayer David There was neither a heroine nor a villain in Jules Verne's 1864 novel Journey to the Center of the Earth, but scenarist Charles Brackett evidently knew what he was doing by adding both to the 1959 film version. The picture proved to be a significant success in an otherwise disappointing year for 20th Century Fox. James Mason stars as amusingly ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $10.19!
6	A Knight's Tale (2001) more movies like this directed by Brian Helgeland featuring Heath Ledger, Mark Addy, Rufus Sewell, Paul Bettany, Shannyn Sossamon, Laura Fraser This crowd-pleasing medieval adventure tale is very loosely inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and mixes the anachronistic elements of modern-day rock music and colloquialisms with a period setting and characters. Heath Ledger stars as William Thatcher, a low-born 14th century squire who, in a fit of inspired spontaneity, replaces ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.99!
7	Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) more movies like this directed by Peter Weir featuring Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, Billy Boyd, James D'Arcy, Lee Ingleby Director Peter Weir's first turn behind the camera since 1998's critically acclaimed The Truman Show, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is based on two Napoleanic War-era adventure novels in author Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series, Master and Commander and The Far Side of the World. Russell Crowe stars as Captain Jack Aubrey, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.99!
8	Braveheart (1995) more movies like this directed by Mel Gibson featuring Mel Gibson, Sophie Marceau, Patrick McGoohan, Catherine McCormack, Brendan Gleeson Mel Gibson, long-time heartthrob of the silver screen, came into his own as a director with Braveheart, an account of the life and times of medieval Scottish patriot William Wallace and, to a lesser degree, Robert the Bruce's struggle to unify his nation against its English oppressors. The story begins with young Wallace, whose father and brother ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.99!

Costner is joined in his efforts against the murdering Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman) by Morgan Freeman who plays a philosophizing Moor, and by Nick Brimble, who plays Little John (anything but little).

13 view cover	The Mark of Zorro (1940) more movies like this directed by Rouben Mamoulian featuring Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, Basil Rathbone, Gale Sondergaard, Eugene Pallette This is perhaps the best of the many Zorro films as Tyrone Power gives an outstanding performance as the alternately swishing and swashbuckling son of a 19th century California aristocrat.

Edward Bromberg, who, of course, has a beautiful niece whom our hero loves. ... see all copies from $4.80! new only from $10.19!
