Amazing movies that are terrible biographies

[FatAndFaithless]

Can't believe Braveheart hasn't been mentioned. Fun movie, but I think it was actually voted as the most historically inaccurate movie of all time. Lemme see if I can grab a source for that.

EDIT: Hah, the source quote is great.

In 2009, the film was second on a list of "most historically inaccurate movies" in The Times. In the humorous non-fictional historiography An Utterly Impartial History of Britain (2007), author John O'Farrell notes that Braveheart could not have been more historically inaccurate, even if a "Plasticine dog" had been inserted in the film and the title changed to William Wallace and Gromit.
