Vlad III, more commonly known as Vlad the Impaler. It's basically the story of Wallachia's complicated relationships with all their neighbours. The real story is so much more interesting than "spooky vampire".
Andrew Wakefield. He's the guy who published a phony study that inspired the Anti-Vax movement. More people need to learn how this always has been a scam.
I recently listened to a podcast about Antonín Švehla. Politician from first Republic (1918-1939) and master of compromise, he was as important as Masaryk but now is mostly forgotten.

She's had a few treatments, just none of them large production Hollywood blockbusters.

While yes! I also am very pessimistic about Hollywood not giving him the treatment he deserves. Could be a bit too radical for profit.

I'd elaborate but it would be a really long post. Best to read the wiki page.

Newton would be great. Wikipedia has a whole page dedicated to his occult studies alone.

James J. Andrews and the great locomotive chase of the US Civil War.
How this hasn’t been made into a movie is beyond me.
