I wish Netflix would put out a movie like The King (2019) every year.

The King is pretty much a perfect example of a historical movie. Of course, it is well know for being impeccably acted, but its true value lies in its grounded plot. It doesn’t try to do too much. Instead, it tells a human story that immerses its audience in a different time. It piques the interest without going over the top. It’s not 100% historically accurate but that doesn’t matter because it accomplishes its goals better than a documentary ever could.

It is at least as good as the big historical epics blockbusters (Alexander, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven) with only a tiny fraction of their budgets.

I wish Netflix (or someone else) would invest in pumping out a movie like The King once a year. You could make 10 movies like The King for the same budget as Troy. Imagine that.

I know there is Outlaw King, but what else?
