>Rivalry between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla
>Multi-film story detailing Marco Polo and his travels, ideally a three-parter
>Film about the Manhattan Project
>Film based on Akbar of the Mughal Empire
>Rough Riders at San Juan Hill film
>Film about Bismarck and the unification of Germany
>Film about the travels of Ibn Battuta and his caravans
>Voyages of James Cook
Some of these would be comfy as fuck

The day the Spice Girls broke up
Hernán Cortés.
La Noche Triste ("The Night of Sorrows") could make for a great film, but basically anything about him.
>>70931053
Film about the Mongol conquest with all the blood and guts of the massacres.
Mongols sacking Baghdad, something to do with the House of Wisdom and trying to preserve it.
Any movie where the British Empire assrapes the world haha fucking nerds
>>70931428
A large army of brits 16000 strong retreating from afghanistan gets harrased and attacked by afghan tribesman and only one man escapes. Story has interesting characters and betrayal.

>>70931053

There's a Turkish film about it, but focusing on the Ottoman side, of course.

>Film about the Manhattan Projec
There was a great film about the Manhattan Project, John Kusack was in it and played... Slotin? Some scientiest who was careless and exposed themselves.
>>70931705
Second one sounds awesome. Imagine the soundtrack to that too.
That Mark Twain movie sounds like it could have some comedy in it too. Fuck they sound great.
>>70931745
You should check out Naufragios.
>>70931053

The Caliph, captured by Mongols, is getting wrapped in and rolled in a persian rug, he is kicked to death.
Would be a great scene on a film.
1907 Tiflis bank robbery
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1907_Tiflis_bank_robbery
Two of the organizers of this Russian bank robbery include Vladamir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. The equivalent of US $3.4 million was stole, 40 people dead, with an addition 50 injured. Very easy to make a heist film out of this.
>>70931915
>Peter Stromare as the heist planner

Done twice in Bollywood
Mughl-e-Azam
Jodha Akbar
a 4 hour long epic of the Crowning of King George II

A think a movie about the Vietnam War would be cool, I don't think that's been done before.
>>70932030

Who do you cast as Ibn Battuta?
Hard Mode:
No Idris Elba or Djimon Husson
Anthology film about the wanton massacres of indigenous Australians. Slaughterhouse Creek, Myall Creek, Risdon Cove, Jolly Swagman Billabong, Cape Grim, Barrow Creek, etc. Really show the evil of the Australian white man, drive home what they did again and again for 140 years to secure that land.
>>70931570
>Mongols sacking Baghdad
The Dan Carlin episode about that shit was pretty brutal. It might be too hot for the screen.
>>70931696
Shut up, racist.
>>70932317
Do it anyways. Do the Burning of the Library of Alexandria as the opening of the film too.
>>70931053
>tfw none of these will be made because they will be shited on for not casting females and niggers in good roles... FUCK YOU MODERN HOLYWOOD!!!!

>your whole post
>Ibn Battuta
>>70932156
Any good?
>>70932345
funny how these days telling the thruth makes you a racist.
>>70932858
Because people take it too far on both sides so that ruins whatever narrative you want to talk about it. Better to rely on facts and present history as it happened than to push any kind of agenda.
