I'm in the mood for a good historical movie.
What time period would you like to explore?
I really like films about the middle ages, Kingdom of Heaven was a great film.
I know that you really liked that film, any other titles come to mind?
Well I really like movies based in antiquity as well, Gladiator was a great film.
Yes, it won the Oscar that year for the best film.
Ok, I'm open to seeing a historical film from that time as well.
Just to throw it out there is there any other periods of history you enjoy to see on film?
Well now that you mention it I really like films based on the Age of Enlightenment.
Which ones from that era?
Well Amadeus comes to mind, as well as Valmont? Though I really did not like the ending to Valmont.
Yes, I remember those - they were very good, Valmont did upset you though.
Very tough decision to make - I am in a dark mysterious mood, sorta want something mysterious and gloomy.
OK - based off that I think we should look at the middle ages.
Sounds good - middle ages, mystery, sort of gloomy I think I know what I should see.
Yes?
In the Name of the Rose. It has it all, dark and gloomy - a great mystery with a great cast.
Yes - and it fits somewhat nicely with one of your favorite films Kingdom of Heaven, well except for the war aspects.
I agree - In the Name of the Rose does fit in nicely and I think it checks all the boxes of a film I am in the mood to see.
Sounds great - so do you want me to pull the Blu-Ray from the collection and get the home theater ready?
Absolutely - this conversation has gotten me excited to re-visit this film
Great, I'll go and get it ready.
