Some historically-themed films:
*1776! (Saw it in 6th grade social studies. Still one of my favorites).
*Camelot
*Brigadoon
*Anne Frank: Diary of A Young Girl (a good live production is always better, but I remembered liking the movie very much when I was 8 or 9).
*Henry V: (Kenneth Brannagh or Olivier, or both to compare!)
*Clash of the Titans (1980) and Jason and the Argonauts (1963): these were cheesy, yeah, but I loved these as a kid.
*Prince of Egypt (animated) I'm not sure if this counts as "animated blockbuster" but I liked this treatment of the Exodus
*Exodus (watched it every Easter. Still chuckle when I catch it on tv).
*Billy Elliot and Back to the Future (ok, these 2 aren't "historical", but if you were born after Reagan and Thatcher left office, the '80's are "history")
