I waited for more than 10 years for this DVD to be released: Vlad Tepes original licensed DVD, containing the real historical depiction of Vlad the Impaler’s life and struggle against the fierce Ottoman Empire. It is not a documentary, it is a movie with some great Romanian actors.
The movie was released in 1978, is directed by Doru Nastase, and Vlad is played by Stefan Sileanu, there couldn't be a better suited actor to play him. The movie received ACIN 1979 Award, and the Sitges Spanish Award in the same year. The DVD is Region Free - All so it can be played on any DVD player, it is spoken in Romanian and has English subtitles. This movie is A MUST for any Dracula or Vlad Tepes fans.

If you want I could buy it for you, I bought Michael the Brave (Mihai Viteazul) DVD for a friend in Canada 6 months ago. You'll only need to wait until the 16th of this month, I have some health problems that need my attention until then. The price for it is about $22 (including shipping inside Romania, since it is not to be found on local shops alas) and to that there is international shipping added (about $9-12 with tracking number). The DVD comes sealed.
This movie is exactly for the history fans. It might not be perfect, but it is closer to what Vlad Tepes was than any other movie to date, including Dracula ones. It is also known as "Vlad Țepeș The True Story of Vlad the Impaler".
Here is a page for it on IMDB but the cover is different since the DVD is new and just been released: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0141966/
You can also watch it here but has a very low quality and no subtitles - but check from 01:15:11 on:

And if you like history movies I'd recommend you Mihai Viteazul (Michael the Brave) which was compared to Braveheart, but was filmed decades ago. And which on youtube has subtitles and everything: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066078/ - it has HUGE battles, there no comparison with that. All those enormous armies were real people there, no CGI. Mihai was the one uniting Transylvania, Vallachia and Moldavia for the first time, before he got assassinated.
[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4l1Ay6oik0&feature=related[/ame]
From IMDB:
I think the grandest scene of the movie (Mihai Viteazul) is the one depicting the Turkish army in the marshes of Calugareni on August 13 1595. On that day, the all-mighty Ottoman Empire, in its heyday at that time, poured 120,000 soldiers into Wallachia to conquer it. Imagine filming that! Nicoleascu shot from a helicopter. It started from the back, with the scattered extras forming the rear guard and gradually progressing towards the front. The scale is huge and mind you, he actually used that amount of people, not the CGI tricks of "Gladiator". Just think of the props and coordinating those guys on a hot day of summer in the middle of a swamp.
The director of Michael the Brave, Sergiu Nicolaescu says he was surprised to notice a TV sequence in Steven Spielberg's "E.T." showing images from his film "Mihai Viteazul". That's why he asked, when he had the opportunity, Steven Spielberg why he enclosed a sequence from his movie and not from another director's. And Spielberg replied he admired Nicolaescu's work, especially the battle scenes, which also inspired him for some of his future films.

Hey brother !
Can you check for me on these when you can. I would like them both.
I assume there is no way to get them on Blu-ray correct ?
I am sorry to hear about your health issues. I hope you are ok and I will keep you in my thought.
Let me know when you can.

Please remind me by a PM in 15th January, then I'll be able to order them and we'll talk.
The Mihai Viteazul DVD is like this - mine comes with "Nemuritorii" (Immortals) pack:
But looking at online shops in Romania I don't see it. Also this is not Region Free like Vlad (it is a different company releasing it), but Region 2 - Europe. You can watch it of course, if you have a free DVD player, or on a PC etc. Though you might be able to get it from Amazon: [ame=https://www.amazon.com/Michael-Crusade-Viteazul-NON-USA-FORMAT/dp/B001HTG4FI]Michael the Brave (Last Crusade)(Mihai Viteazul)[/ame]- it has a different cover, but seems there are the same actors and crew (Director is Sergiu Nicolaescu and Mihai is played by Amza Pellea - a great actor who is supposed has been killed with radiation by the communist regime). Mihai Viteazul DVD is also a bit more cleaned up, but still not available on Blu-Ray.
Unfortunately Vlad Tepes is not available on Amazon, but I might help you with that. I already received 3 PM's regarding this DVD
So keep in touch with me if interested please
