Well I don't know anything about the Plantagenets but if you say they are that Interesting I'm with you to vote for a film about them for a change.
I love both houses but I agree we need to know a different house for once. -

What about movies and tv shows about the Hanoverians or the Stuarts?
What about a tv series in which each episode shows how a different dynasty lost its throne because of England/Great Britain/the UK? There would be material for several full seasons of episodes.
How about movies and tv shows about following the family of the rightful kings of the Britons, heirs of the rulers of post-Roman Britain (and possibly rulers of the hypothetical northwestern Roman Empire)from 410 to the present - and yes there is a family considered by many to be the genealogical heirs of the kings of the Britons.
Or what about a tv series tracing the heirs of King Arthur to the present? And yes, the family mentioned above is allegedly descended from Maelgwn Gwynedd, supposedly the second cousin of King Arthur. And there is another family tracing their descent from Cador, the alleged first cousin of King Arthur.
I would love to see more English language programs and movies about foreign dynasties and realms.
Ancient, medieval and modern Dynasties. European, African, and Asian, and perhaps a few Oceanic and American dynasties. Christian, Jewish, Muslim, pagan, Hindu, Buddhist etc. dynasties. -

I absolutely agree that there is a plethora of kingdoms, empires, dynasties, heroic figures, epic figures from all over the world that would provide outstanding subject matter for film epics. But, I have been waiting for some film-maker to take advantage of some of that material for about 50 years. I am glad I didn't hold my breath!
I had no idea about the rest of your post, however, that there were people who actually claimed to be able to trace their ancestors back to the post-Roman lords of Albion. Thanks for a most interesting post!

The Tudors are far more interesting, as soon as House of Stuart gains the throne I lose interest in Royal history.
I'd love for Hollywood to make more films prior to Tudor, using Plantagenet, York and Lancaster.
