What about the "By the Sword Divided?" |

"Cromwell" is a fine pece of fantasy cinema. |

Not a wide range to choose from as far as Im aware, so the result isn't surprising! |

Cromwell is rather good. I also enjoyed "To Kill A King" |

Best is a relative term and not that meaningful when the choice is so limited/poor – if you ignore the Hollywood-clad heroes and focus on the baddies how about 'The Scarlet Blade' (aka 'The Crimson Blade' in the US for some reason). |

It's good for some quotes. "Do you not rrrise when your king enters the room sir?" "…in the bowls of Christ!" |

A field in England? What were they on ? |

Cromwell was horrendous in every way |

It was a great entertaining movie. P. |

Ian Paisley's favourite movie. Make of that what you will. |

I recollect Cromwell as pretty turgid. |

Cromwell is great entertainment, pure nonsense historically speaking though. Poll fundamentally flawed as it had more negative responses than actual films. No By The Sword Divided; no Scarlet Blade; no To Kill A King; no Devil's Whore; no Royal Oak; no Hex; no Vicar of Bray; no Forever Amber; no Moonraker… |
