Movies about prehistoric times

Not documents.

Few days ago i saw again Quest for Fire (1981 French movie). With Ron "Hellboy" Perlman as one of the main actors. And it was fun. Again. What are the others movies from the prehistoric times?

HM, ok, but that isnt what i mean. Here the people talk with Shakespeare language skills. I mean, times, when people barely could talk.

There are very, very few prehistoric films that try to be realistic with regards to language and social skills. The only one besides Quest for Fire that I know of is The Clan of the Cave Bear, also from the 80s. I've long wished that there were more, so I'm glad to see this thread. Maybe someone will name one that I'm not aware of.

Sort of prehistoric at times.

Perfect example of a movie being so much worse than the book.

I still enjoyed it though thanks to Darryl. Wish they made a sequel about the valley of horses.

I was half asleep one morning and this movie I had never heard of before happened to be on FX:
The Croods (2013) - IMDb

Animated, kind of similar to Ice Age but about humans.


I guess Ice Age would be another one

Why do you think people couldn't speak in pre-historic times? You do know the definition of the word right? Clearly people didn't just learn to write and speak their language simultaneously.

There's no need to be belligerent. There are less rude ways to make your point.

Would some of current stars take a role in such movie like Quest for fire? Tom Hanks like a caveman, Stallone, Pink ...

Strike that middle sentence from my post if you like. As someone with more than a passing interest in the story of prehistoric humans I find it an odd take to want a movie about that period of human existence to reflect a time when people could "barely talk".
