Time through Movies

History... So many movies are set in different times and places. Sometimes they are based in truth and provide a window into a world we have never seen before. A lot of History movies provide entertainment but some provide the right amount of truth.

Movies for World History:
--Gladiator
--Spartacus
--Ben Hur
--Kingdom of Heaven
--Braveheart
--Gandhi
--Schindler's List

Movies for American History:
--The Patriot
--Saving Private Ryan
--Glory
--The Conspirator
--Patton
--Frost/Nixon
--The Last of the Mohicans

All these movies are great movies that history classes can show to their students to help them understand what happened during those times. Obviously the students need to be told that not all of these are true but showing students what might have happened or what happened during these times.
