Our suggestions
King Leonidas of Sparta and a force of 300 men fight the Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C.
"Although based on real events, Frank Miller's comic book '300' is a fictional and idealized of history. In the hands of comic book fan and filmmaker Zack Snyder, the comic comes to life on screen with its brutal violence and classic dialogue ("This is SPARTA!"). If you don't mind sacrificing historical accuracy for spectacular battle sequences, this is the movie for you."
