are there too many films with a historic story line?

Films follow other older forms of art, much of which is presented in "times past."

I like them. Australia has a long history of film with the Story of the Kelly Gang shot in 1906 being the first full length narrative film in the world. Australia was one of the centres of world film in the 1910's but gradually the film industry struggled to compete with Hollywood.\n\nAustralian cinema went through another golden patch in the twenty years between 1975 and 1995. My favourites include:\n\n* Picnic at Hanging Rock: an enigmatic film;\n\n* Breaker Morant shed light on a forgotten piece of Australian history;\n\n* Babe and Babe 2 - wonderful family movies;\n\n* Muriel's Wedding and Priscilla Queen of the Desert - wonderful commedies from the mid 1990s;\n\n* Shine the film that made a star of Geoffrey Rush;\n\n* Rabbit Proof Fence, the best Australian film so far of the 21st century. \n\nOver a century of film, Australian cinema has told Australian stories in an Australian voice. Long may it continue to do so,

It means a story or tale that's been repeated for a long time.

ur imagination's grt but i don't think its a grt movie making story....its more like a documentary, try adding more spice to it by individualizing the story....something like Die Another Day.

No, the movies are related because that's what the people want to see. Eventually people will want something else so that's where they'll go. All in good time.

Probably not.  Some wars were fought before historical records were kept and exist only in legend.  A good example would be the Trojan War.  We would also have to answer the question: What is a War?  World War II is surely the most famous, but the "least" famous is up for grabs.

Do you really think that this kind of movies can effect a whole religion . You see movies on mermaids , ghosts , supermens , but do you believe them ? So why to believe a mere movie which is just made for the purpose of entertainment . All the movies are frictional and no one can claim of any movie being a true thing . So just dont allow such stuff to effect your line of thinking . A single movie or a novel can not effect the thousands of years of religion and purity .

It is a movie about fictional event.

Since it is a story that has been told, adapted, and read by millions of people for hundreds of years, I would say that makes it "timeless."  It contains universal themes that are relevant to every generation and even across cultures.  Themes like family grudges, young people in love, love/relationships that are doomed from the start.

Forrest gump was an original. People love original films that inspire society and people and all. There are a few that are like that too and since then there have been many more in the works.

The Notebook is the GREATEST love story of all time , I would also get some of the classics An Affair to Remember is also awesome . Those are both movies that any gorl can watch over and over . Roamntic comedies are great too , an associate at your local video store should be able to help even more .

History has a way of repeating itself.
