So I’m guessing these are listed as historically accurate for a reason other than the attire, weaponry, armor, etc? Because Henry V along with quite a few others are as off as you can be when it comes to that.

I do hope you are joking?

Becket in which O’Toole reprised his role of Henry II and featuring Richard Burton as the ‘turbulent’ priest’ would have made a nice round ten.

If ‘Pope Joan’ was on here, I would’ve laughed so hard. Then I’d get kind of sad, but that’s irrelevant.

I’m afraid I’ve just overloaded the Pirates Bay’s database – I’ve entered your list and some more from the comments.

I can also recommend ‘Black Death’ and ‘Barbarossa’.
Also, you don’t want to miss ‘Arn I – the Knight Templar’ and ‘Arn II – The Kingdom at Roads End’ because the weapons used in those movies are historically correct.

The filmmakers for Andrei Rublev stated that they never intended it to be historically accurate. The film even opens with a hot-air balloon flight set around 1400, something that couldn’t have happened until about 1800.

I appreciate this list, but your inclusion of the 16th century is crazy. The Renaissance began in the 14th century and took off in the 15th century, so to say the 16th century is “medieval” shows you really don’t know what you’re talking about.

I;ve been really eager to watch some silent films for a while, but I don’t know where to go to watch them or buy them? They just look so macabre and mysterious, especially with the ‘vampire’ look of women at the time.

Can anyone give me suggestions on how to go about this?
