This idea, that movies can be a teaching tool, has been the theme of the “Masters at the Movies” article series in Perspectives on History since it began in 2006. Over the past 5 years, 17 historians have reviewed or noted over 100 films, applauding some while questioning the accuracy of others.
From Wall Street to A Streetcar Named Desire to period pieces such as The Other Boleyn Girl, check out a synopsis of the films reviewed here.

I really liked how this site categorized the movies as well as listed them by year. I enjoy watching movies on history (especially old ones) an this gives me a list hat I feel will give me some historical information instead of a lot of fictional information.
