"War of the arrows" is a Korean period flick with lots of amazing archery scenes. The hero even uses a Korean style over draw several times to take a deer and kill an enemy Mongol threw the neck with a short broken arrow. I found it on Net flicks. cheers fiddler49

The original Robin Hood with Errol Flynn & Olivia DeHaveland - watch it every chance I get. Always read the credits, watching for "The Captain of the Archers - Howard Hill" . Bob

'Dances with Wolves', the use of bow and arrow might be secondary but still a nice showcase in vivo.

War of the Arrows here too as my top. Another cool foreign film with a good handful of Archery scenes is the Norwegian film Escape (originally Flukt)(2012).

Easily one of the best films ever made. My oldest is 10, we sat down one Saturday just him and I and watched the extended version for his first time. For a kid with a modern attention span he hardly blinked the whole time, and loved it, lol.

+1 for War of Arrows. Also, not a movie but the Robin of Sherwood series is not bad for a good longbow fix in addition to being an excellent show.

LOVED War of the Arrows.  I'm sure I'm blind to much of the mythical stuff that could not really occur, ...but it was pretty cool to pretend.  The movie took itself seriously the whole time and never allowed the veil to drop.  It was intense and dramatic, even when the language could not tell the story, the scene development did.  Sub-Titles are ALWAYS a distraction, but I got past them in a hurry.

Appreciate the replies. I'm almost done watching Robin Hood (2010), will definitely be watching all the other movies recommended, and I will probably be watching Errol Flynn's Robin Hood w/ my mom since she loves Olivia de Havilland.
