Writer Caroline White of The Times of London gives us her list of the ten most historically inaccurate movies of all time.

The rationale of the screenwriter was simply that America had a bigger movie-going audience! Others in the Hall of Shame include three films by Mel Gibson, including his Oscar winning
Braveheart. Click here to readÂ
