Most Historically Accurate Films/Documentaries/Video

[runes]

reviewed the thread and i can't believe all the praise for saving private ryan.
ugh
i'm not going to start typing up all the inaccuracies with that film, but let me just say that they are GLARING and NUMEROUS. right down from typical hollywood fantasy endings with tiger tanks to the mindnumbingly poor tactical choices (why they couldn't just write a better plot defies me) and the general poor performance of hardened german soldiers.... who knows. good flick though, if pretty dated by now. wtf beach were they supposed to be landing at? ugh, so bothersome.

but anyway.

yeah the stormtrooper effect really makes a move take longer but is silly every time ;)

on the revived thread:

just watched "timeline" again and igronring all the obvious historical inaccuracies and stuff but wha reall made me laugh was that when the 100years war specialists(4 americans and one frenchman) get caught by the english they claim to be scots (and the french guy admits he's french duh! ) I mean c'mon!
I'm not an expert on anglo french relations
nor the 100year war
nor the 14th and 15th century

BUT I know that at all possible occasions the french were allied with the scots or at least sided with them against the English so why on earth did they have to claim that?!?!?! sure claiming you're scottish is rather smart confronted a french army but not when captured by the english.
why could they not simply say they're Welsh, or even english with their burgundian interpreter as burgundy was allied with england(at least it is in AoK :D )

a silly movie

What do you guys think of Joan of Arc movie? I mean the better one with Leelee Sobieski as Joan and Neil Patrick Harris as dauphin. (I hope I don't mention it second time in this thread)

I like it several times better than the other one by Milla Jovovich [where, it seems to me, she was portrayed as a psychologically disturbed person] nor the old one with the Swedish actress what's-her-name. Not one of the three appears historically accurate to me, though. Hawooh.
