spite historical sword epics finding less success theatrically, they have begun to find a new form of medium in serialized TV. For a long time, such productions were impossible because they would be expensive. However, gradually building an audience first can persuade the producers to give more seasons and more financial backing.

Best Game of Thrones Episodes
After presenting our “Worst Game of Thrones” episode list, it is now time To unload the Best. SPOILERS… obviously? #13: Winter is Coming [s1 e1] It is vitally important for a series premiere to establish its characters, who they are, and what are their places in the world. The first scene in Winterfell particularly does this well; Ned Stark clearly portrays the stern noble lord of a father, and Robb is his oldest protégée.

Worst Movie Duels
#5: The Viper vs The Mountain – Game of Thrones In its 4th season, of Game of Thrones introduced us to the charismatic, savvy, and sexy Oberyn Martell (aka “The Viper”) in a breakout performance by Mandalorian and Narcos star, Pedro Pascal.

Best Epic Battle Sequences in Film
Here is my 1st list of battle sequences caught in film. As usual, I have based these purely on personal preference, but with some care given to on characters, tactics and how well they are filmed. #5: The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe What struck me about this battle is that there are so many creatures both real and fantasy battling it out. We see cheetahs attacking werewolves, centaur’s clashing with minotaur’s, even a gorilla throwing a dwarf off a cliff. It also has one of my favorite battle charges ever. I also love
