I've been realy into historical fiction movies lately

I'm looking for more suggestions. I just saw Gods and Generals, the Revenant and 1917. I like it because I feel like I'm kind of learning while watching the movies, and I've always liked history. Does anyone know any really good movies like this.

There might be a film of this, a book series called Outlander. Not sure if this qualifies.

Gettysburg (obv)
The Lion in Winter (Henry II, Richard Lionheart, like that)
Lawrence of Arabia (WW1 in the middle east)
Cromwell (self-evident)
Waterloo (ditto)
Schindlers List
Danton (the Gerard Depardieu one, not the old one which is rubbish - French Revolution)
A Bridge too far (WW2 incident, edifying but kinda dull movie)
Tora Tora Tora (the Pearl Harbour attack)
Outlaw King (Robert the Bruce, Scotland after Braveheart more or less)
Ran (Kurosawa film, feudal japan via shakespeare)
Henry V (actual Shakespeare, 15th century England/France, moderately accurate)
Silence (16th century Japan)
The Favourite (early 18th century England, indirectly Marlborough)
The unbearable lightness of being (Prague spring '68, fantastic movie)
Shogun (17th century Japan, hard to find)
The Admiral (17th century Holland)
Zulu & Zulu Dawn (South Africa, 1880ish)
Lincoln (the President, obv)
The Messenger (Joan of Arc)
All the Presidents Men (Watergate 1970s)
Glory (American Civil War)
Elizabeth (16th century England)
Gandhi (20th century India)
Hotel Rwanda (20th century Africa, pretty grim but accurate)
Out of africa (early 20th century africa)
Master and Commander (napoleonic wars, at sea)
Cross of Iron (WW2)
The Blue Max (WW1 aerial)
Too Big to fail (2007 financial crisis, an actually understandable & gripping account)

lots more if I sit down and really think about it

Exodus: Gods And Kings 2014
I really liked this one
@Om2014 What is it about?
Om2014 · 31-35, M
@ExperienceDropOut After learning of his true lineage, Moses, a former general, rises against Pharaoh Ramesses II to help the Hebrews escape from Egypt. He faces several challenges and is strongly opposed by Ramesses.

From Wikipedia lol but more than the script and true story, the picturisation and direction is superb

Seen a lot of war documentaries lately. I think they're on the history channel. 📺👀
@FloorGenAdm I'm more talking about a plot-driven narrative. Documentaries are cool sometimes, but I'm all doc'd out for this year I think 😅

Domyou like podcasts? There are some outstanding historical podcasts I can recommend
@carpediem Sure. I drive around a lot at work, so that would be great!

@ExperienceDropOut Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. He puts you right there. It's amazing. I recommend highly the Countdown to Armageddon series on WW1.
@carpediem I definitely will. Thanks so much!
