Understanding History through Film

Those who know me know that I am obsessed with Film, and I love the app & website Letterboxd.

I use Letterboxd as a teaching tool. I have a series of Lists to help students understand Genre and National Cinema. Now I have a new series: History on Film.

I built these lists to help me to understand the different periods of history, particularly in England.

The Dark Ages / Middle Ages / Mediaeval Periods required additional research.

I used the Notes function to include additional research, so I could identify when each of the stories were (roughly) set. So they should be in order from earliest to latest.

I hope you find value in this resource.

What’s the next thing I should build lists on?
