Tonight, on Starz, is the premiere of Outlander, a period costume drama purporting to provide romance and battle scenes in a Scottish setting. But if you want the real deal, and a better viewing experience, watch this 1995 movie, starring Mel Gibson as 13th-century Scottish warrior William Wallace, who painted himself like an inebriated football fan to oppose the British forces who were oppressing Scotland the way they would later oppress the American colonies.
