Ben Hur; I’m not positive but I think it took some liberties with the historical record...;-D

I’ve forgotten the show’s name but I just saw some piece of History Channel junk with a CW officer riding a freaking Friesian stallion into battle.
Looked great...never would’ve happened.

"The Crucible", the newest one with Wynona Rider. The part she played in that, as to having an affair with the married man. TOTALLY FALSE, never happened. Guess they just had to put SEX in there somewhere.
Rider played the part of one of the troubled girls who started the whole thing. All the girls involved with this event were too young to have an affair with anyone.
The whole movie was filmed on the estate of Rebecca Nurse/Nourse, in Danvers, Mass.. I know this from my genealogy.

One of two movies my parents took me to as a kid!
The other was “The Sound of Music”. (Hmm - I wonder how accurate that one was!? I’m thinking it might have been halfways okay?)
As for another accurate one: “We Were Soldiers Once and Young” was fairly accurate I believe.

Windtalkers: Each Navajo Codetalker in WWII Pacific theater was assigned a white marine who would act as their personal buddy as well as assassin the moment it looked like the Navajo might be captured by the Japanese. I saw the History Channel doing a “Hollywood or History” segment on this with several of the Navajo Codetalkers (they never used the term “Windtalkers”) and it was clear they found the idea of having assassins assigned to watch over them ridiculous.

PT-109, any other PT boat Captain that allowed his boat to get rammed by a Destroyer would have been court-martialed.

“Memphis Belle”
Every bad thing that ever happened to every B-17 crew was jammed into this poor excuse for a historical movie.
If you want to watch the REAL story, here’s William Wyler’s version: http://www.archive.org/details/MemphisBelle
