Jacob BryantList RulesVote up the most historically inaccurate movies you were forced to watch in school.
It was a great day in the classroom when your teacher announced that the day's agenda was to sit back, relax, and watch a movie. It was even better when it happened to be a popular, well-liked movie. But some of the movie choices history teachers made were more than a little suspect - some of them being downright inaccurate.
We asked our audience which historically inaccurate films they remember watching in school. Be sure to vote up the movies you remember contradicting history books the most.
