Epic War Films

My favourite movies are epic war films, especially those that surround the mideavel times and the ancient world. I am trying to compile a list of movies that fall under this category from othe past 15 years and what I have so far is:
Braveheart, Gladiator, Troy, Alexander, King Arthur, Kingdom Of Heaven, Tristan and Isolde, and The Last Legion. If you could help me out and tell me any other movies that would fall under this category, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well, you're kind of limiting yourself if you're only looking for films from the last 15 years, so I'll just throw some out there and you can pick whatever works for you.

Beowolf
Beowolf and Grendel
The 13th Warrior
300
Highlander
Last of The Mohicans
Pathfinder
Apocalypto
Rob Roy
The Messenger
The Man in The Iron Mask
First Knight
A Knights Tale


A few older titles would include:

The Adventures of Robinhood
Spartacus
BEN-HUR
The Three Musketeers

I love war films. I'm interested, casually, in military history and themes and though some may disagree with some of the choices below, I have my reasons.

Battle Of Britain
Stalingrad
Das Boot
Starship Troopers
King Arthur
Joyeux Noël
The Blue Max
Enemy Mine
Casualties Of War
Flesh & Blood

There was also a film about the Ottoman Wars. I can't remember the name, but it was recent - a european film.

I love ancient war movies, especially the ones with great morale values and pictures. You have mentioned my favorites, but I just want to add one: Lord of The Rings. This is not a historical war movies, but I like it very much. To be honest, I think this is the best war movie.
