In a way, you can think of movies as books in video format. Instead of reading stories, you’re watching them.
I’d always thought it would be neat to see a timeline of the settings of historical movies. A quick search online turned up a few of good ones.
300 Historical Movies in Chronological Order, by “marko-amnell” is a chronological list of 300 historical movies on IMDB.
History of Mankind as Told Through Film (Chronological order of films), by “plugman” has about 700 films on a timeline, but many of the movies on the list are more tongue in cheek than historical (Star Wars, Conan the Barbarian, Monty Python’s The Life of Brian, etc.).
Relive 238 years of American history with these 42 movies, by Stephanie Cangro is not a timeline, but article giving a quick rundown of American history in 42 movies.
57 Best Historical Movies, from Romances to Biographical Dramas, by Nakeisha Campbell is also not a timeline of movies, but a listing of some of the best historical movies ever made.
Historical Timeline, by Araphiel is a well-curated timeline of almost 500 historically set movies.
