50 Best Historical Movies According to Purewow

"We'll admit, Hollywood isn't the best place to turn to for history lessons—especially when it comes to films like Gladiator and Braveheart. But even so, we've found that there are many instances where Hollywood delivered quality entertainment and got the facts (mostly) right. From intense historical thrillers to biographical dramas (with a side of romance), here are 50 of the best historical movies you can stream right now." - purewow.com
