In preparation for our trip to Greece, I was thinking of movies I could watch with my eldest.
The idea, along with a reading list, is to fill his head with history/culture and build anticipation.
He’s 14-15, so I’m leaning more toward action/battles/greek gods/etc.
Here’s what I came up with:
- Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief (2010)
- Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013)
- Troy (2004)
- Alexander (2004)
- 300 (2006)
- Clash of the Titans (2011)
- Wrath of the Titans (2012)
- Immortals (2011)
- Hercules (2014)
That’s a good start.
Also the upcoming The Odyssey by Christopher Nolan in 2026.
