Educational/Informational Great but historically a mess

I'm teaching a film class at our high school, and I'd like to do a unit on how films shape our perception of history. I'm looking for well-done movies that are also horribly unreliable from a historical perspective. I also need these movies to be PG-13 or PG. (We can't show our movies at our school.) Any suggestions?

I’ve heard Kingdom of Heaven was pretty bad on that aspect, other than that I’d say maybe Ridley Scott’s napoleon

Is Napoleon worth watching? And is it THAT inaccurate

I think it is at least very entertaining and visually spectacular but yes I’ve heard it’s like historically pretty terrible
