101. Tenchi: The Samurai Astronomer
Japanese Movie - 2012
Based on true events, with Okada Junichi as the main lead and dressed with the wonderful music of Joe Hisaishi, this was a unique historical story about samurais and calendar making.
Though long, with a not-so-thrilling subject and heavy on politics and scheming, this was an interesting look into many cultural aspects of Edo period.

102. The Great Battle
Korean Movie - 2018
Not an avid fan of this genre, but I had to watch this because of the star cast.
A historical film, based on real events and people, describing the epic 88 days long defense battle of Yang Manchun leading his outnumbered Goguryeo troops at the Ansi Fortress against the invading Tang dynasty.
Fast-paced, action-packed, with impressive cinematography, visuals and cgi enhanced fighting sequences, and stunning warfare tactics, strategies and machinations, though the characters were rather underdeveloped and the storytelling quite simple.
Not a masterpiece, but an entertaining watch.
