I'm a history nerd as well as a fantasy dork. These are some of my favorite historical films and series.

Gettysburg - The Killer Angels

The books were written by Michael Shaara and his son Jeff. Michael Shaara wrote “The Killer Angels” which won the Pulitzer Prize and is the basis of the TNT 2-part miniseries, Gettysburg. I absolutely adore both the book and the miniseries. Everything about the miniseries was awesome. It was filmed on location at Gettysburg (at the time the only film that had ever done so). The music is just beautiful! The casting and actors are A list across the board. I HIGHLY recommend watching this.
Band of Brothers

The epic 10 part HBO miniseries. Just like Gettysburg, everything about this miniseries was awesome. I could watch it again and again. I love just listening to the music.
Schindler's List

I'd like to believe that this book and movie don't need a description, but then there are adults in the U.S. that think that The Diary of Anne Frank is fiction…so… This is based on true events. The final scene of the movie was filmed at Schindler's actual grave and the people leaving stones on the grave were people he saved and their descendents.
