How to spot a pleb. Just watch pic related.
Mongol is good
You can watch Kurosawa, Ozu for an idea about the effects of war on Japan.
They sadly do not exist in the quantityI would like.
>>1223114
I like I Claudius too, so I guess it's pleb too now.
>>1223118
The word you're looking for is documentary.
>>1223118
>Sorry I meant series/movies discussing actual history
They don't exist. Movies/series are made for money - people (at least the masses) don't like history so why would they make historically accurate films/series?
>>1223119
Yeah.
Or nice youtube videos as well???
Or good online free lectures..
Come on people..

Amadeus. Fictional but the sets and music (of course) are fantastic.
Haven't seen it but i heard Turn is breddy good.
>>1223154
Openyale has a series on diocletian to the fall of the western empire. Also you can pirate the cambridge latin coursebooks
>>1223168

I love it when high school freshman come on the chans and post "babby's first" shit.
I only know Spanish historical series. Isabel and Pedro el cruel are pretty informative and historically accuarate.
ANZACS
Reilly Ace of Spies
Fall of Eagles
Marketa Lazarova
>>1223154
Lindybeige is the most educated on the subject. Historia Civilis and Schola Gladiatoria are good complimentary channels, with a bit less insight
Barry Lyndon
Horatio Hornblower
Sharpe
That's 30 hours+ of Napoleonic drama. Top shit. Wish I hadn't seen it when I was younger and it was all fresh to me now.
>Don't watch the last two Sharpe movies.
>>1223504
Don't watch Sharpe's Gold either.
300
Kingdom of heaven
Any movie by Mel Gibson
Game of thrones
Its hard to be a god
>>1223216
>Underageb&
1864 the movie
>>1223514
>Sharpe's Gold
is that the one with cannibal conquistadors?
(potential watchers do not be alarmed, sharpe is a GOAT series otherwise)
>>1223216
Oh man, this is so good. My history teacher showed it to us in class.
>>1223100
Gods and Generals
Anything by Ken Burns, ie; The West, The Civil War, etc etc
I got into Tudors once all the fucking died down and it got into the intricacies of the court.
>>1224292
Wolf Hall is a far better show to watch than the Tudors if you want some Henry the VIII shit, better quality and shorter
>>1223417
Honestly I think he's a good jumping off point but a lot of his stuff is anecdotal and based on LARPing and HEMA. Not to say that isn't better than what most historians do in terms of explaining shit but keep in mind it isn't really supported by hard evidence. I do like his shirts though.
>>1224292
>gods and generals
>slave has a conversation with stonewall Jackson
>Jackson gives him the time of day
>slave quotes Napoleon
Probably the most unrealistic representation of slavery I've seen.
James Burke's Connections
My university interviewer practically offered me the place on the spot when I referenced it in our conversation.
>>1225556
I see it is from 1978, almost 40 years old. Is it still accurate?
Andrei Rublev
Ran
Flammen & Citronen (really fucking underrated WW2 movie)
Guldkysten is pretty cool too.
A Royal Affair is a top tier movie about a really cool and sorta obscure part of Danish history.
And it got based Mads Mikkelsen in the lead.
Even though the Frenchmen speak English in various accents
>>1223154
The great courses (TCC) offers the best lectures, just pirate the one you like
>>1223538

There's literally no where to pirate those fucking things. All I can find are some mp3 versions. Nothing complete.

>>1223119
real talk: what are some great historical documentary sources? History channel is dead and BBC stuff is pretty limited
http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/
Starts a bit weak but just skip to like episode 30 and get carried away.
The Revolutions stuff is great too, particularly France and Haiti
>>1226143
>historical documentary sources?
Read a book, you know the thing all those documentaries are meant to be based on.
