That is precisely the reason I rarely show any "Hollywood" movie in class. Our school is very adamant about not showing PG-13 Hollywood feature films in class unless parent consent is given. There isn't a historical movie made by Hollywood that isn't at least a PG-13. The only "Hollywood" feature film I show from start to finish is "Luther". I specifically mention it in my class letter at the beginning of the year and have a specific parent "sign off". When I do show videos, they are usually only short clips. I think that short Hollywood movie clips can be very useful when comparing primary and secondary sources. Movies are good examples of how secondary sources can get added to and the information can become inaccurate.
