HD list of PEPLUM movies

This is a list of the PEPLUM movies which are in HD and I have in my collection. There are titles on Blu-rays out there that are not in my collection. They're listed at the very bottom.

This list will be updated regularly. It's a work in progress.

This list is nowhere complete. I'm aware that there are more HD prints. This is just to get the ball rolling.

There are a lot of titles in HD but the problem is: the source is often from one country, a streaming service only and only available in that country. So as many titles there are in HD, it's almost impossible to view them since they're limited to where they're being shown. There are titles on Blu-ray but there are more with streaming. 

This list doesn't include most Hollywood productions which are all on Blu-ray or in HD.

About language/audio:

If it says Streaming, there's no audio option other than the country its streaming from. So Italian (streaming) means it's in Italian only. Note: Spanish streaming service sometimes has Spanish and Italian as options but they're rare.

If it says Amazon Prime France, the copy is in French only since it serves French population of France.

It does happen that there's a streaming print or one from TV broadcast or Amazon Prime that has more than one language, well, that means the copy is a FanDub. Meaning the one that acquired the print added other audio/language options. They weren't originally like that.

Blu-rays/prints from the US have English obviously. There's no need to point that out.

Titles released on Blu-rays are highlighted in bold. This gives you an idea on how many of them are available.
