Poll: Sword-and-Sandals Films
The Peplum film, also known as sword-and-sandal, is a genre of Italian-made epics relating to fantasy-adventure tales involving heroic exploits in ancient or biblical times. The genre was most prolific near the end of the 1950s and through the 1960s. So which sword-and-sandals film is your favorite? Please Note: I will not be including animation films that explore similar themes (I.e. Disney's "Hercules"). Minimum 1,000 votes. Discuss your thoughts HERE. It'd be pretty epic...
