Описание: Някога краденето на моми било занаят и то не какъв да е, а въпрос на мъжка чест и достойнство. Такъв е Банко горд планинец, комуто е възложено да открадне хубавата и трудолюбива мома Елица. Заедно с хората си Банко извършва кражбата. Но досегът с Елица, която се проявява като силна и свободолюбива личност, със собствено мнение и характер, кара да трепне суровото мъжко сърце. Елица моли Банко да я вземе за себе си. Банко се отказва от възможността да бъде щастлив, но онова, което е трябвало вече, се е случило. След време съдбата отново среща Банко и Елица. Той отново се бие за нея и посреща куршума щастлив, че обича и е обичан.

Marco Polo (1998) (USA: video title)
aka Incredible Adventures of Marco Polo, The (1998) aka Marco Polo (1998) (USA: video title)
Credits: Directed byGeorge Erschbamer. Cast: Don Diamont - Marco Polo + Oliver Reed - Captain Cornelius Donovan  + Jack Palance - Beelzebub  + John Hallam - Ali Ben Hassad  + Cas Anvar - Youssef  + Jeff Saumier - Nicolo  + Gareth Hunt - Grand Master  + Gavin Abbott - Leader  + Lara Bobroff - Princess Marita  + Lyudmilla Brusentsova - Sylvia  + Graham Stark - Old King  + Viktor Polusmak - King's Retainer  + Julia Volchkova - Jasmine  + Mikhail Shayevich - Rusticello
Synopsis: 13th Century explorer Marco Polo (Diamont) and his kid brother (Saumier) travel east in search of their father, getting into episodic adventures, eventually culminating in a showdown with an Armenian warlord (Palance). This low-budget flick isn't meant to be taken as historically authentic, explaining why there are so many blonde, fair skinned characters in the Middle East, and why Polo keeps getting into street brawls that seem left over from director Erschbamer's usual beat of straight-to-video action flicks (American actor Diamont even looks like frequent Erschbamer star, Lorenzo Lamas). Intended, presumably, as a kind of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" swashbuckler, but the scenes are bland, with little successful humour, and it's flatly directed with too many weak performances. Palance, though, is a usual stand out, and Reed (as a camel merchant) and Anvar (as Polo's sidekick Youssef) are O.K. Anvar and Saumier are the only Canadians in the main cast. Kids might find it more fun, though even then, Erschbamer lets his penchant for gratuitous violence creep in occasionally, making it inappropriate for littler kids. The movie may have been intended as the first of a series that never occurred (since Polo sets out to find his father and reach China...and has achieved neither by the end, and Palance's villain escapes). by: THE GREAT CANADIAN GUIDE TO THE MOVIES

Polo agrees and begins to dictate his story as Rosticello writes and occasionally embellishes with his own fantasies. Summary written by {fargalaxy. When the intrepid Venetian traveller Marco Polo first recorded his adventure something was missing - for the heart of his story lay burled deep within the soul of the man himself. In the famous chronicle of his travels nothing is revealed about Marco's experiences in Israel and the Middle East - the tale of an impossible love and his destructive passion for a bold and beautiful woman. It was this story of jealousy, lust and compassion that Marco would reveal to inmates in his Genoan prision between bouts of torture by the Inquisition and under threat of certain death.

Marco Polo: Queen of the Seas, The (1995)
Credits: Director – Roger Hart — Producer – Sam Grana
Synopsis: Is a video, produced by The National Film Board of Canada, telling the story of the famous ship Marco Polo built in Saint John, New Brunswick by James Smith. December 26, 1852. I witnessed the making of a legend. My name is Charles and I'm with the Illustrated London News. The Marco Polo has just circumnavigated the globe in less than six months! She is the Queen of the Seas. A new age of travel has begun! From a shipyard in Saint John, New Brunswick, to Liverpool and Melbourne and, finally, to a watery grave off the coast of Prince Edward Island, The Marco Polo: Queen of the Seas offers a fascinating account of a legendary ship during the golden age of sail in the 19th century. Although it began life as a freighter carrying timber from Canada to England, the Canadian-built Marco Polo was soon bought by new owners who recognized the potential of her huge size and revolutionary design. Outfitted for passenger travel, the ship transported thousands of emigrants to the promise of a new life in Australia. Today, one in every twenty Australians can trace his or her roots to the Marco Polo. Using archival footage and dramatizations of journals kept during the ship's voyages, this documentary presents a colourful cast of characters, including the dictatorial but widely- respected captain who was determined that no ship would sail faster. It is also the story of some of the thousands of poor emigrants whose personal anecdotes are a vivid reminder of the challenges that confronted ocean travellers during the 1800s. Through the voices of those who built her, sailed her, and a written account by Lucy Maud Montgomery of her ignominious end, The Marco Polo chronicles an unforgettable journey through time and place. Legendary in life and death, the spirit of the Marco Polo lives on today in festival and song in both Canada and Australia. Local community leaders in Saint John have ambitious plans to build a replica of the ship. if they succeed, the Marco Polo may soon sail

Credits: Director: Georgi Djulgerov. Written by: Roussy Chanev and Georgi Djulgerov. Director of Photography: Radoslav Spassov. Production Designer: Georgi Todorov. Music: Bojidar Petkov. Cast: Roussy Chanev, Grigor Vatchkov, Stefan Mavrodiev, Tzvetana Maneva, Dimitar Boynozov, Bogdan Glishev, Rumena Trifonova, Christin Bartlet, Martina Vatchkova, Valcho Kamarashev, Vladimir Yonchev, Margarita Karamiteva, Ludmil Todorov, Milena Andonova, Ivan Cherkelov, George Bahchevanov, George Todorov, Dimitar Lukanov, Svetoslav Ovcharov, Mario Krastev, Ilian Balinov
Synopsis: The incredible life and spiritual evolution of the shepherd Tanas are seen against the background of the revolutionary struggle in turn-of-century Macedonia. In the beginning the inner world of the protagonist is governed solely by the laws of nature and the age-old patriarchal order. All of a sudden he enlists in a revolutionary band and lives through the exaltation accompanying the outbreak of the Uprising of St Elijah's Day (1903) and the tragedy of its defeat. His mind undergoes a complex metamorphosis - from the darkness of primitive existence to a historically - conscious way of thinking. Along with the character of Tanas the film features a host of mythological creatures organically integrated into fabric of the story.
Awards: SBFD'81 Sofia, Bulgaria - Best Director Award, Best Costume Design Award, Best Sound Award; FBIF'82 Varna, Bulgaria - Best Director Award, Best Actor Award (Roussy Chanev)
Описание: Филмът навлиза в една тема, която е "табу" до момента на създаването му - борбата на македонските българи за освобождението им и присъединяване към България. Историческите събития, свързани с Илинденското и Преображенското въстание са представени чрез присъствието на реални личности в сюжета на филма. Но неговия фокус е съдбата на един обикновен поборник - Дилбер Танас, който от неук чобанин се превръща в мислещ човек, съподвижник на известни войводи. През бурния си живот преминава през много изпитания и среща много хора - войводите Гоце Делчев, Яне Сандански, Христо Чернопеев, Постол войвода, Георги Мучитано, превърнали се още приживе в национални герои. Това не е традиционен тематичен исторически филм - в съдбата на Дилбер Танас може да се открие разгърната метафора на историческата съдба на народа ни.

Il film racconta gli ultimi giorni di vita di Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, ucciso a tradimento dalla prima arma da fuoco. Siamo nel XVI secolo, nel Medioevo che prelude l'epoca moderna. Joanni de Medici è un giovane uomo d'armi, un cavaliere della nobile arte della guerra. A soli 28 anni è già capitano di un'armata pontificia ed è stimato e conteso per il suo valore in guerra e la sua sapienza militare. Ama la vita e le belle donne, che ricambiano con slancio. La sua giovinezza e la sua abilità gli fanno disprezzare la morte, che lo coglierà alle spalle, tradendo quel codice cavalleresco in cui Giovanni ancora crede.

The Message: Mohammad Messenger of God (1977)  VHS 
Credits: Cast: Anthony Quinn, Irene Papas, Michael Ansara, Johnny Sekka, Michael Forest, Garick Hagon Director: Moustapha Akkad

Synopsis: This handsomely-mounted historical epic concerns the birth of the Islamic faith and the story of the prophet Mohammed -- who, in accordance with the tenants of Islam, is never seen or heard (any physical depiction of the prophet is considered a heinous sin within the faith). In Mecca in the 7th century, Mohammed is visited by a vision of the Angel Gabriel, who urges him to lead the people of Mecca to cast aside the 300 idols of Kaaba and instead worship the one true God.

Mikres Aphrodites (1963)
aka: YOUNG APHRODITES (1963)
Credits: Cast (in credits order) Takis Emmanuel as Tsakalos Eleni Prokopiou as Arta Vangelis Joannides as Skymnos Kleopatra Rota as Chloe Anestis Vlahos as Erster Hirte Yannis Jeannino as Molassas Constantin Papacostantinou as Stummer Hirte, Directed by Nikos Koundouros
Synopsis: "Mikres Aphrodites" (Young Aphrodites) was made in 1963. The film was directed by Koundouros. It is set in ancient Greece, about 200 B.C. The movie focuses on a wandering band of shepards. They happen into a small village where there do not happn to be any men because they are away fishing. Two romances follow. Two of the shepards (a man and boy) fall in love with a oman and girl from the village. Many of the actors were acually sheepherders. The film is based on the fable of Daphnis and Chloe. The film won the Berlin Film Festival, and the International Film Critics Award. There is an English narative.  
Tragic tale of a young shepherd's disastrous attempt to find affection from an older village girl with whom he has fallen in love. As she mimics what she has seen adults doing, the boy catches her making love to another youth. As a result, the shepherd commits suicide. This abrupt and violent ending seems hard to swallow in an otherwise gentle film.

The Mighty Crusaders (Gerusalemme Liberata) (1961) VHS 
Credits:  Director: Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia. Starring : Francisco Rabal, Sylva Koscina, Gianna Maria Canale, Rik Battaglia, Philippe Hersent, Andrea Aurelia
Synopsis:  set in the Middle Ages and featuring the adventures of the Crusaders as they capture Jerusalem. Lacking panoramas of battles any larger than a handful of people at a time, some of the oomph is necessarily missing. The story itself is based on the growing love between Tancrid (Francisco Rabal), one of the leading Crusaders, and Glorinda (Sylvia Koscina), the daughter of the king of Persia. Glorinda does not sit home and embroider, she dons armor and goes into battle with the best of them.

Credits: Jean-Louis Barrault + Marcello Mastroianni + Hanna Schygulla + Harvey Keitel + Jean-Claude Brialy + Andréa Ferréol + Michel Vitold + Laura Betti
Synopsis: In June of 1791, a group of passengers in a stagecoach find themselves caught up in the events of the French Revolution, when they find themselves in the city of Varennes when revolutionists arrest the fleeing King Louis.
Summary written by frankfob, On 20 June 1791 the king and queen of France (Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette) tried to escape from Revolutionary Paris to join monarchist allies outside France, but were arrested in the town of Varennes. The incident inflamed popular distrust and hatred against the monarchy. Linked to this historical event the film imagines a group of travellers on the same road, including the American patriot Thomas Paine, the noted seducer Casanova, the French novelist Restif de La Bretonne, and one of the queen's ladies-in-waiting. They reflect various attitudes toward the momentous changes taking place around them. Summary by English Showalter
