| |
| − | My personal favorite is "Dangerous Beauty". Set it Venice during the era of the couretsans (1600's I believe). It is well written, well acted, and has a great monologue while the main character faces the Spanish Inquisition.

| |
| − | Henry VIII when the King rejected the Roman Catholic Church to obtain a

| |
| − | Henry V - Kenneth Branaugh's. Outstanding great, imho one of the very best
| |
| − | films ever. Definatly the best screen adaptation of any Shakespeare play,

| − | bar none. Not even Laurence Olivier's Henry V can touch this one.
| |
| − | In Service to the Dream
| |
| − | Ivanhoe
| |
| − | Ivanhoe - BBC version is far superior to the Robert Taylor film.

| − | Also, see if somebody can help with the title, there was a GAWD
| |
| − | awful film starring Alan Ladd as a blacksmith who dons armour,
| |
| − | and rides around the English countryside at night, rescuing maidens
| |
| − | and such.

| − | The Adventures of Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Haviland)
| |
| − | Prince Valiant starring Robert Wagner, and Janet Leigh? It was horrible! Vikings were supposed the bad guys. Every last one of them was wearing a helmet decorated with cow horns. The crowd scenes looked ridiculous.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Baron Yusuf asked about positive portrayals of Moors and Arabs
| |
| − | onscreen.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A few years back, an Egyptian director came out with a movie set
| |
| − | in Spain under the Caliphate and centered around the philosopher
| |
| − | Averroes. Here's the IMDB synopsis:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The story is set in the 12th century in Arab-ruled Spanish province
| |
| − | Andalusia, where famed philosopher Averroes is appointed grand judge
| |
| − | by the caliph and his liberal court judgements are not liked by
| |
| − | everyone. The caliph's political rivals, centered around the leader of
| |
| − | a fanatical Islamic sect, force the caliph to send Averroes into
| |
| − | exile, but his ideas keep on living thanks to his students.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On top of all that, it's a musical! There's a big dance number where
| |
| − | one character is trying to lure an old friend back from the
| |
| − | fundamentalists who are more or less brain-washing him and sings about
| |
| − | the joys of a life well-lived. It's quite wonderful.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The director, Youssef Chahine, has run into trouble in his native
| |
| − | Egypt, due to his stand against religious fundamentalism. The movie
| |
| − | had a limited release in the US under the title "Destiny". It's
| |
| − | original Arabic title is "al-Massir"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | --
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Talisman with Rex Harrison as a sympathetic and
| |
| − | cultured Saladin opposite George Saunders boorish
| |
| − | Richard. Laurance Harvey and Virginia Mayo are the
| |
| − | lovers. Very contrived but the diction is splendid.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | --
| |
| − |
| |
| − | "Saladin", an Egyptian made film
| |
| − | released in 1963. This
| |
| − | movie presents the Muslim side of the third Crusade,
| |
| − | more or less, and is as
| |
| − | biased in that direction as the Hollywood
| |
| − | productions are biased toward the
| |
| − | Crusades.

The fighting was great! Congratulations to Sir Owain who emerged victorious.
Also Congratulations to Petro (sp?) who was squired to Viscount Einar in a
very humorous ceremony.
The feast was awesome! The quantity of food was enormous! Huge pat on the
back to the feast team!
Also a huge thank-you to HLS Desiree, the autocrat for all her work. I hope
she is resting well today.

People Pages for Royalty
Need to create Category:People pages for all royalty.
- Edit each royal couple page and change Ivar the Black and Asney Grimolfrsdottir into Ivar the Black and Asney Grimolfrsdottir
- Add the Category:People tag to their individual page
- Add something like "Ivar was the thirteenth prince of Avacal" to Ivar's page, as well as link to his OP entry and any other noteworthy comments (peerages, current activities or interests, etc). Photos and their arms would be good too.
