"The first Terry Gilliam film I ever saw. I was ten years old, and it’s still my favorite (Brazil comes in at a close second). What ten-year-old wouldn’t want to be Kevin, pursued by a godlike figure, with a band of pirate dwarfs, while hopping from one major historical event to the next? I can’t remember how many times I’ve seen this, but it’s probably the same number of times I’ve watched The Goonies. —BF"

In 1911, the wealthy Battenberg family are off to stay the summer in Coney Island, which was at the time, the home to a set of amusement parks that had something for everyone, from swimming on its beaches to roller coaster rides. This historical fiction novel looks at this spot during its heyday, and witnesses its destruction. You can read my #bookreview of "Dreamland" by Nancy Bilyeau here.

2010 historical action/adventure, headlined by Michael Fassbender, that purports to tell what really happened to the Roman IX Legion: a Legion that, supposedly, marched into Scotland and was never seen from or heard of again.

This is basically a 'behind enemy lines' tales, with the survivors of an ambush of the Legion picked off one by one (amongst gallons of fake blood) by the Picts, until an ending that you could see coming a mile off!
