Definitely one of the best westerns I've seen/owned!

Gone with the Wind (1939) centers around what happened before, during and after the Civil War. Of course, this movie is fictional.

WOW!!!  What a clip, What a Movie!


You guys know that I love Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 epic,  "The Ten Commandments".

Even the lesser scenes are absolutely awesome:

Does Star Wars (the original trilogy) count?
If not, then any 30s period adventure film: Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, Robin Hood..

The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.

I say it does count.

Would Pleasantville (1998) count?
It is set in the 1990s, but the kids get sent into a 1950s tv show and have to get back.  Since they only enter a tv show's image of 1950, the story is technically is still framed in the 90s since Don Knotts' tv repairman interacts with them, but the majority of the story comes from the cultural clash in old-timey times.

The scenario seems like something people here would like, but the criteria for this thread is up for debate.

If it doesn't count, then just I'll just put Titanic (1997), Sleepy Hollow (1999), The Patriot (2000), and Gladiator (2000).  Calling them old makes my eye twitch.
