Well, it's good to know that Foley played a key role in that scene, isn't it?

The bit where Anthony Quale and O'Toole are discussing tactics and the best way forward is so brilliant. Its acting at its very, very finest. I only watched this a couple of months ago and the memory is still fresh. Loved it

I think the recent series Rome has to be on the list... even if it isn't a movie as such.

There's rumours that there will be a movie - I'll try to find the link. The guys who wrote it were saying that the reason why the second season was so pants compared to the first was that they were told it was all over, so they tried to squeeze in the whole story whereas they originally thought they'd have four or five years out of it.

Does anyone know of a fairly recent roman military film that is good and accurate?

By military film I meant one about the roman army

I don't really think there is any feature film exclusively about the Roman army, apart from some late 50s/early 60s Italian peplums.

I received the DVD of "QUO VADIS ?" as a Christmas present. It was finally released in November. Now I own all the major Hollywood Roman epics. Funny how this is the only movie on Rome that has a Latin title ! Much of it is dated but still worth owning. It's the first Roman epic filmed in color although, curiously enough, it wasn't filmed with a wide-screen camera. I guess the director was too old school to use one or they couldn't afford it.
I still haven't seen the modern remake. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to it.

The first Roman epic completely filmed in color would actually be the 1945 version of "Caesar and Cleopatra" with Vivian Leigh and Claude Rains, if I'm not completely wrong.
