Top 10 Napoleonic War Movies of All Time 

fr he did waterloo dirty

Waterloo shall be the best napoleonic wars movie

Waterloo is a shittty movie from the colonialists british who thinks they beat napoleon 1v1 when the prussians saved their asses.

@@simoun59 British forces did do the majority of the fighting for the Allies at Waterloo. Picton's division, which was more than 2/3 British, bore the brunt of the action against D'Erlon's corps, and it is well known that the charge of the British Household and Union cavalry brigades completed the defeat of that attack. At Hougoumont, the farmhouse itself was defended by four companies of the British Guards throughout the day, while Jerome Bonaparte's entire division couldn't complete their objective of capturing it. The second main French infantry attack of the battle was halted by a charge of the British Household cavalry, and Ney's cavalry was repulsed by mostly British infantry squares. Finally, Maitland's British Guards and the Oxfordshire Light Infantry were famously prominent in delivering the volleys and bayonet charge that routed the French Imperial Guard's attack.

Not better then War and Peace, but yes it did deserve more

Same to me...

It should have been #2. That version of "War and Peace" looked pretty elaborate and with 400+ running time deserves the #1 spot.

No, it should've been on the ABSOLUTE 1ST position

lots of people say the seven years war, was some kind of the first world war. (1756-1763)

@@kaneda5438 Agreed

No. It is not a world war. It is a European war.

No @Ria Harman

i vote 30 years war as ww1

true true

Fantastic movie

Based on the true story. It was a British ship but they captured an American ship, not a French one. But the film makers didn't think American audiences would like that so they swaped it.

Just british propaganda

I cant say anything about war and peace because i didnt see it, but imho Waterloo pales in comparison with the Hornblower movies, bot historically and cinematographically speaking. However i totally agree with Napoleon being top 3. Absolute masterpiece.

Waterloo had 17,000 extras

@@verdun16 oh damn, I didn't know that! Awesome.

@@olafsson6431 which napoleon thr 03 one??

@@reasonabledoubt6908 The 2002 series. It has 4 episodes

nice

Yes, an enjoyable experience.

You'll be dissapointed

@Andrew McGuire It is always possible to criticise details with films, but my point was the film itself was an excellent coverage of his earlier life and loves. I still stand by that. The film is NOT a documentary. Just for the record Brando was never one of my favored actors in any role, but that is purely personal. By far the best depiction of Napoleon was by Christian Clavier* in the French TV Trilogy (which included the brilliant John Malkovich as Talleyrand). I think there is an English translation of this series available, but I am not too sure. *Clavier also played the idiot Page to Jean Reno in Les Visiteurs! Very talented actor.

I also count Hornblower Series as one, so there was a bit of repetition that could have been left off, and room made for other movies/series, such as Sharpe's Rifles.

Watched it yesterday. Fascinating movie.

@@mikeFolco What no Sharpe?

@@mikeFolco was it many battle scenes?

@@generation2714 4 or 5 not too sure.

My excuse then, I believed it in Napoleonic era (which of course overlaps)

But the anglo-american war 1812-1815 was contemporaneous to Napoleonic era, @@janverboven .

@@missiavu Indeed, my wrong

Terence won a golden globe for his role in Billy Budd... mmm

I forgot about Billy Budd, great film.

`Billy Budd` is a forgotten gem. Robert Ryan is chilling in the role of Claggart, great performance.@@_Abjuranax_

I agree. But I doubt that historical epics will ever be made again. A Lawrence of Arabia or War and Peace. It's very risky for them given the tastes of "modern audiences." Far easier for them to make superhero rehashes with diverse casts

@@rogerfrost6785 How tf did you make this comment about wokeness or whatever 😐 That's completely unrelated. We get war epics all the time. You're intentionally trying to stir shit up out of nothing

👍

Right?! Pellew is A Father To His Men and really the ideal captain.

The Patriot better mate

​@@neighelmendoza9584American revolution not napoleon

there was a remake of war and peace but I haven't seen the one in the list so I wouldn't know if it was better or worse

Well the new Napoleon war is going to remake this year!!!

I must you point wrong on this occasion, only one one count, Master and Commander was set in the Napoleonic wars.

I must admit, sir, you are on point, and I was wrong!

I love Nino Rota`s score to `Waterloo`

And by any standard today an gigantically achievement - Remember this was filmed when 'West' and 'East' where in a so called cold war.

ikr

Napoleon 2002 is more important about the life of Napoleon, all his achievments, his glories and failures. Waterloo, it's just about Waterloo.

@@Thunderworks Yes but in terms of filmmaking and storytelling Waterloo is better The battle scenes look awful in 2002 for a tv budget not to mention it goes through incredibly important moments of his life incredibly fast I mean Waterloo and Austerlitz last only a couple of minutes and in the 1970 Waterloo the acting is superior it is better shot, better directed and the soundtrack is better

@@agshinaliyev3502 it's free on RU-vid, someone upload the full film

mmm quite unknown :)

@@etvconnect In ancient English it might be called 'La morte de Napoleon' - or in French 'les dernières années de napoléon'

"WAR IS FULL OF CONTRADICTIONS"!

For me the worst Napoleonic movie I have seen. Love `The Dualists` detest Scott`s `Napoleon` a travesty of a biopic.

That isn't a movie though?

@@ghostie7028 Wasn't Hornblower a Series too?

@@_Abjuranax_ Idk

For prussans, understanding of. See also, WWII DURCHHALTE FILME, survival inspiring flicks, courtesy Mr Goebbels, DER GROSSE KOENIG, FRIDERICUS REX, KOLBERG, Partizipation, demand of the German dir allowed many jews to survive .

ok ;)

I think it's from the movie ''Lines of Wellington'' 2012

You clearly don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about. 'Trafalgar' ring any bells?

@@jsr1234 Well there is no Trafalgar movie out there and if it was, nobody would talk about it.

@@pascoett First off: The French did fight naval battles Secondly: people would 100% talk about a movie about Trafalgar, especially if it was to the same level of detail as Master and Commander. Thirdly: The battle of Trafalgar is in the movies That Hamilton Woman (1941) and Bequest to the Nation / The Nelson Affair (1973)

American revolution

This video shows only Napoleonic War “Movies” ☺️

@@etvconnect Horn blower fireship and mutiny were or started as tv shows.

The sharpe series is a joke,...looks like a cheaply made tv series, and just brutilizes the french army,...." only in the UK' i guess, as we here in the states say....but, if it makes you guys feel good.....so be it. For accurate action Waterloo and War n Peace are 1 and 2.

ok
