I believe it is Bill. Langkasuka was a kingdom which later became Pattani.

I JUST WATCHED AN INDIA FILM (THE TIGER AND THE FLAME) IT IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN INDIAS FIRST CINIMASCOPE FILM AND IS ONE OF THE EPICS WITH A CAST OF THOUSANDS. VERY COLORFUL WITH PALACES,ELEPHANTS, DANCING GIRLS, CANNONS AND BATTLES, IT IS AVAILABLE ON DVD. THE STORY IS OF A QUEEN WHO TRYS TO FREE HER COUNTRY FROM THE BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY.

A STRANGE BLACK AND WHITE FILM THAT IS ALMOST OPERATIC IS (ALEXANDER NEVSKY)MADE IN RUSSIA IN 1938 IT DEALS WITH THE RUSSIANS FIGHTING THE GERMANS DURING THE DAYS OF SWORDS AND ARMOR.

THE MOVIE (PATHFINDER) WAS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY , THE RECENT VERSION WAS BASED ON A PREVIOUS (PATHFINDER). THE ORIGINAL IS MUCH CLOSER TO FACTS AND A MUCH BETTER STORY AS WELL. IT IS ALSO OLDER AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY IN BLACK AND WHITE. I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE STORY COMES FROM ORIGINALLY BUT THE TRIBAL PEOPLE REMINDED ME OF LAPPS AND THEY DID HAVE REINDEER.

Ah Yes, Werner Herzog's Aguirre, The Wrath of God has been on my top 10 list for many years. Klaus is just terrific in that role...and i believe that's his actually daughter, Nastasha, playing his daughter in the film. This is really a must see, not so much for the weapons, but just because it is great film making. The ending will haunt you forever.

So will the beginning ..........

That film had to be a logistical nightmare to make 30 odd years ago .
