Troy Heagy Frankly, movies are a generally very bad source of history. Hollywood has a horrible tendency to romanticize, glamorize and generally srcew up the history in the interest of "a good story." Use movies to teach history and you'll spend more time and effort trying to explain what they did wrong than you spent on watching the movies in the first place. And that's assuming that you know what al they did wrong, so that you can correct it.
