I have been very much enjoying reading through this resource which came through my mailbox today:History In the Movies.
It is a compilation of articles from history professor Cathy Schultz in which she discusses the historical authenticity (or lack thereof) of 50 different historical films. Very informative!
I also came across a link to this site:History and Movies which lists movies by historical period.It's a nice list if you are trying to find a film to coincide with a time period you are interested in. It does not, however, review the authenticity of the films like the other site does.
I think in combination the two sites could be very helpful!
Hope that helps someone!

These are fantastic resources! Thank you for posting these, Theresa. I did wonder why Henry V (directed by Kenneth Branagh) was rated so low on the History and Movies site...I thought that was a fantastic movie, though not for the younger set.

It is a fantastic movie, no doubt about it. I wouldn't pay any attention to the ratings on that site. Anyone can vote and they don't even have to give a reason why they don't like it. Silliness.
