Posted on 05/08/2015 8:29:27 PM PDT by MNDude

If you could take any historical event and have it made into a movie (and it would be made to your liking) which historical event would it be? Hannibal? Maccabees? Etc.

Maccabees.

Unfortunately the guy who would have made it (Gibson)
is apparently out of the running.

But a Jewish Braveheart would be useful in these times.

President Ronald Wilson Reagan's First Inaugural Address on January 20, 1981. It was a defining -- pivotal -- moment since America's Biblical foundation was restored on that date.

Battle of Vienna, 1683. I want to see John Sobieski beat the Turks.

Obscure but I think it would make a great little drama

The day I was born

My 14th and 15th birthdays

My 21st - 35th birthdays....

Pretty sure I discovered the fountain of youth and all those beautiful women I was with really helped.

Specially my ex-wife, Morgan Fairchild, Schwing!!!

Battle of Beamfleot, Battle of Loundon, Battle of Ashfield...Any battle between the Anglo-Saxons and Danes during the period of the Mycel Heathen Here. If I could get a time machine as well that goes back to mid-late 800s Britain, that'd be great as well.

The Battle of Tours and Battle of Lepanto would make great movies as well.

But nothing beats the Viking (misnomer) era. Nothing!

Alvar Cabeza de Vaca’s shipwreck in Florida, and 18 year walk to Culiacan to find the Panuco River...only to go back in chains and shame to Spain. It was done, but so far removed from FACTS it needs to be done correctly... of 500 soldiers, 5 survived.. It would have a Christian morality, as he became an ardent follower of Jesus, healed the sick and even raised the dead. Because he strongly opposed the mission of the Army and the Church, they exhiled him. He spoke 5 languages before his saga ended.
