Yahoo's 10 Most Historically Inaccurate Movies also happen to be bad or mediocre movies, except for one which just doesn't count. Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was futuristic when made in the '60s and obviously can't be judged as an historical film. It's also the only truly great film on the list, as evidenced by its near perfect (96%) Tomatometer rating (and because I say so!). I've seen most of the others, and for the most part they left me nonplussed (irrespective of the bogus history) -- even Gladiator and Braveheart. Sloppy history and mediocre filmmaking tend to go hand-in-hand.
