I mean movies that are just like regular modern comedy movies but take place in a historical setting. Some examples include “The Little Hours” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West.” Furthermore, does anybody have any more examples of movies like these?

You may appreciate “miracle workers” the first season is set in modern times (kinda) but each other season is set in a different historical setting.

I can recommend norsemen. It’s a series, though.

If we’re including television I’m disappointed that nobody mentioned Blackadder.

If not, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

“Our Flag Means Death” seems like a solid example
