Historical Fiction: Good or Bad?

   Of course, this question can kind of answer itself-historical fiction done right can be the best thing ever. But too often nowadays accuracy is sacrificed for excitement in order to make money. Modern views are also seeped in and too often political correctness gets in there. Some might say why does it matter:if you make them love it they'll want to research more, and there they'll figure out the truth. I wish you were right; however, my friend, you underestimate the human capacity for laziness. Side note: can anyone reccomend some good historical fiction? Books or movies: I don't care. What do you guys think?
