Historians are increasingly engaging with historical films, serving as historical consultants for film productions and as film reviewers for diverse publications.
The American Historical Review experimented with film reviews for several years before shifting the reviews to the American Historical Association’s newsletter publication, Perspectives on History.
The American Historical Association has now compiled a list of 100 Films Reviewed by Historians for its blog.
Students in HIST 390 Film and History: War in Film can search through this list for academic film reviews for their historical film projects.
