Any more candidates? An article in The Guardian about actor Tahar Rahim (in The Eagle, in 2011) referred to a new genre of films ‘celts and centurions’ (different from sword and sandals’). Suggestions so far, via here and Twitter (#celtsandcenturions) for inclusion in this ’new’ category are - The Gaul/Druids/Vercingetorix (2001) with Christopher Lambert - Boudica/Warrior Queen (2003) with Alex Kingston - King Arthur (2004) with Clive Owen - The Last Legion (2007) with Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley - Centurion (2010) with Michael Fassbender - The Eagle/The Eagle of the Ninth (2011) with Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell - Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia (2012).
