Historical entertainment thread

What are some great historical movies/series/games /his/?

Just gone done watching Rome, was pretty good, sucks ass they ended it after two seasons for being too expensive though, had a lot of potential.

Is the Spartacus series worth watching?
>>
Not really, Spartacus is probably shit tier if you liked Rome, it's certainly not as sophisticated or as involved as Rome was in a historical context
>>
I just watched "Desiree" with Marlon Brandon, about the chick Napoleon almost married. It was boring as fuck but at the same time kind of entertaining in that cheesy 50s way.
>>
How is the Napoleon miniseries with Christian Clavier?
>>
Waterloo

>Is the Spartacus series worth watching?
Spartacus is 300: sex & homosex edition. If you liked Rome you'll probably hate it.
If you want another series about Rome, watch I, Claudius.
If you want to watch a good historical movie, watch Master & Commander.
If you want a good historical game, give up because there's none.
>>
Watch Deadwood if you like that era, or even if you don't.
>>

Nah there's a lot of strategy games you could choose from
>Crusader Kings 2
>Europa Universalis 4
>Victoria 2
>Hearts of Iron 4
>Age of Empire series
>Total War series
>Company of Heroes
>Civilization Series

Or if you like more action oriented games there's
>Mount and Blade
>Chivalry
>Red Orchestra
>>

Does anyone know where to stream I, Claudius? It used to be on Youtube, but the videos were taken down.
>>
Romance of the Three Kingdom titles on PS2 are pretty based, even if they are based on romanticized history.
>>
spartacus is great, but not for its historical accuracy. it's just entertainment done really well.
>>

I suppose you could call m&b and civ historical insofar as m&b being in a medieval setting and civ having historical nations but Id say stick to ck2/eu4 etc uf you want a less fictional setting.

It's still there, nigger.

Theres also Vikings and the Last Kingdom OP, obviously not historical accurate, but good fun non-the-less.
