1. Braveheart
Mel Gibson might be a human turd, and he might have fudged the true biographical details of William Wallace’s life, the details of Scottish life during the period on film, and the overall timeline of Scottish independence, but none of that really matters, because Mel Gibson’s Braveheart is beautiful, powerful, awesome, and about as close to flawless as a movie gets. The Academy Award winning epic may not be accurate, but it gets a pass because of the skill on display (seriously, the movie is incredible) and because Hollywood’s motto might as well be, “If you wanted to read a history book, you would have.”
