Do you want to have a say in my future?
Which of the FOLLOWING movies (as in from this list) should I watch for extra credit in AP European History. I don’t have time to watch all of them but you may suggest multiple movies if you’d like. Most importantly, the movie needs to be historically accurate (as much as possible). Thank you.
1) "A Man For All Seasons"
2) "Anne of a Thousand Days"
3) "The Agony and the Ecstasy"
4) "Cromwell"
5) "Diane"
6) "Elizabeth"
7) "Elizabeth, the Golden Age"
"Fire Over England"
9) "Henry V"
10) "The Last Valley"
11) "Luther"
12) "Luther" (2004)
13) "The Messenger"
14) "The Other Boleyn Girl"
15) "The Prince of Foxes"

Out of the list you posted, I would watch "Henry V" since that was my personal favourite out of that list

I think you should either watch Henry V or Elizabeth, which are the most historically accurate portrayals in the films that you listed. The Messenger is a waste of time and so are some of the others, but if you’re trying to find something as historically accurate as possible, it is one of those two movies that should be what you would watch. The Henry V is from the Shakespeare play while Elizabeth is based on real life events.
