I mean movies that are just like regular modern comedy movies but take place in a historical setting. Some examples include “The Little Hours” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West.” Furthermore, does anybody have any more examples of movies like these?
It leans a little more toward academic than some of the others here, and spans a broader time span, but History of The World p1 is pretty good.
Academic? History of the World Part I? I guess you could say it has about as much academic rigour as the average Mel Brooks movie.
I was being silly.
Guess I should’ve gone with “Academic? It doesn’t even cover ancient Greece.”
