What makes a great historical movie?
Is it perfect accuracy — or the way a film makes you feel history?

In this video, I break down my Top 10 Historical Movies of All Time, ranking the films that capture the emotion, sacrifice, brotherhood, and brutality of the past better than anything else on screen. These aren’t just movies — they’re experiences.

From epic battlefields and fallen kingdoms to revolution, loyalty, and revenge, these films prove that cinema doesn’t need perfect history to tell a perfect story.

Braveheart – The ultimate historical epic. Emotion, music, sacrifice, and inspiration at their absolute peak.

Tombstone – The greatest modern Western ever made, with one of the best performances of all time by Val Kilmer.

The Patriot – Revolutionary War cinema done with heart, rage, and purpose.

Kingdom of Heaven – A misunderstood masterpiece made whole in the Director’s Cut.

Gladiator – Revenge, honor, and legend in the heart of ancient Rome.
