Movies about rebellions/revolutions from history?

[FortisKID]

I'm trying to come up with a list of movies featuring rebellions from history (particularly those fighting for freedom and/or independence)

Here are the movies I was able to come up with.

Braveheart (1995)
Spartacus (1960)
The Patriot (2000)
The Crossing (2000)

I'm also looking for a good movie on the civil war that isn't so pro-union. Can anyone think of any other movies I can add to this list?

 

[Philhelm]

"A Tale of Two Cities"
"The Last Samurai"
"The Return of the King"

 

[_pauladin_]

Don't forget this one.

Just military? Or other kinds of rebellion?

The Killing Fields

Does Viet Nam count?

 

[Occam's Banana]

Any kind of rebellion

In that case, Brazil (1985) should *definitely* be on your list. (The director's cut - *NOT* the theatrical release!)

The Pianist has a pretty good depiction of the Warsaw Uprising in WWII. Very disturbing movie, but worth watching.

I saw a great movie about the fight for independence.

The Devils Deciple

It was a story about a preacher and the black sheep of a family. They end up switching places. The black sheep guys does some awesome preaching. The preacher does some spectacular fighting. They each fill each others roles better than either one of them could have done themselves.

wonderful thread. was going to start one myself. +rep

The easy on no one has put up is V for Vendetta. I also think quite a bit can be learned from the previous 2 batman movies. Especially Dark Knight Rises where the city is on military lockdown. My wife dislikes sitting and watching a movie. I enjoy most of them. Its interesting to see the trials and tribulations of every day people even if its in a fictional world.

We saw For Greater Glory (2012) last summer and loved it.
