Most Historically Accurate Films/Documentaries/Video

[Macilrille]

I can come up with no new adds for the period, but for others, films and TV-shows to see are

Band of Brothers (HBO again)
Stalingrad, German, 1993
Das Boot, German ??
The Iron Cross, American or British, so-so in accuracy but the first film to not merely portray Germans as total villains but see things from their PoV and OK portrayal of life at the front
The Duellists, 1997, Ridley Scott's first film (you have to search the cover to find his name). Napoleonic Era.
All Kurosawa's films are good, whether or not they are accurate on all points they are in spirit.
Battle for Algiers, propagandistic but in some ways pretty faithful in its portrayal of at least Les Paras.


1612 is best avoided by historically interested, except for the total badass mercenary Spaniard Alvar. My friend Jan writes a summary here if you scroll down a bit.


Avoid
Ran (Korean)
Mongol (Mongolian or Russian)
