Mel Gibson seems to top the list with most inaccurate movies, but then again he does seem to put forth a lot of work in getting nothing right. :wink:
I've seen other sites talking about inaccurate movies put Kingdom of Heaven on the list, but the equipment is pretty damn good compared to most movies and unlike most inaccurate movies it is actually the first movie to make a point of showing where it is wrong in the DVD.
I think 300 should take top of the list if they are going to hold it to a historically correct standard and not treat it as a faithful adaption of a graphic novel. At least the others resemble something that might have happened more than 300. I'm kind of surprised that Pathfinder didn't make the list if 300 did. I would have thought it was far over the top and more inaccurate than Apocalypto.
Now I'm curious to what our votes for 10 most accurate movies since they seem rare as hen's teeth. I was pretty impressed with Rob Roy. It was pretty hard to find anything wrong with the plotline. Maybe we should have Liam Neeson take Mel Gibson's job.
