    Or just ones that were covered poorly and you think they should be redone?

    Agreeing with Romulus, although it would probably be better covered in a series instead of a movie.

    As for myself, I'd like to see something about the Eighty Years War, I've never really seen anything about it.

    Lenin's life should be converted to a film.

    A modern Napoleon movie would be nice(not a series like History Channel did) . A Bismarck movie might be cool. A movie about 1066 in England might also be fun.

    A more modern World War I movie. I know flyboy's itn't old, but I what something that has to do with the Battle of Verdun. Also this isn't about any historical event but I would like someone to make another War of the Worlds but have it take place in Great Britain and in the late 1800's like in the book.

    Anything about The Korean War, Vietnam, or World War I. Those three aren't covered enough, they're shoved aside by World War II

    Lenin's life was pretty impressive... So yeah... They could make quite a epic film out of that without changing the facts...

    The Deer Hunter? Apocalypse Now? I believe those are both about Vietnam.

    The Byzantine Empire, and a good Roman Empire movie that takes place in the late roman empire or even a movie in the early days of the republic like the sacking of Rome by the Gauls or something.
