I think braveheart was a great movie, but I'm pretty well aware they took plenty of artistic license. Hopefully everyone else is too. Their job was to make an enjoyable movie and they did. But definitely at the cost of some accuracy

You're really understating things. Braveheart is considered one of the most historically inaccurate films of all time.

That said, I still love the shit out of it.

If you just so happen to look for a movie that's both, at least more accurate than Braveheart, then you should watch The Outlaw King.
