    My first choice, for a major movie that closely adhered to historical accuracy, was "Excalibur". Kids might not be familiar with it, though.

    Yeah, Excalibur is great and a visually beautiful film (shot in the magical-looking Irish countryside), and with Arthurian myth there is artistic licence anyway. And Wagner over the top, amazing.

    They claimed that "King Arthur" adhered to historical accuracy. Hence the uniformly blonde Saxons and the uniformly brunette Britons.

    Ugh, I hated that trash. Yep, they cast the Britons to be pseudo-Iberian looking, and the Saxons were basically portrayed as Nazi's, contributing to those (anti-English) myths in the public consciousness.

    Look on the bright side. If Irish pirates were in the movie, they would all look like Bozo the Clown.

    They might have gotten JB007 to do the casting for the Irish; every Irish character would be played by Colm Meaney, even the women.

    Some men "read" Playboy. James Bond reads 1800s issues of Punch for the same reasons.

    Well, Capitalists uphold both the Roman empire and the British empire up as models to be emulated. I obviously, am not going to identify with the Roman empire :
