    @@TheJAMF The republican and democratic parties flipped ideologically about the 1920-1930's and by 1960's they were opposite from the 1860's. Basically, the democrats of the 1800's and early 1900's were regressive pro elite plutocratic oligarchs, while the republicans still pro plutocratic industrialist had a progressive streak that was for ending slavery and developing rail and road and ports and utilities (water, gas, and later to be electricity). Both parties until 1950-60's though were full of bigots. And until 1930, both parties were pro robber baron for the most part, with what is to many irony of Republican Teddy Roosevelt's trust busting and square deal... he later ran again as a third party called the Bull Moose Party. He as president from 1901 to 1909. FDR in 1930's pushed the democrats to be pro union (was actually illegal for most workers to strike or form unions until the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") of 1935... often prior unionization was seen as a type of rebellion in some states and counties by their local robber baron who then had their own hired armies war with the unions (term redneck) came about from union workers, particularly the coal union workers as they would protest and strike wearing a red bandana. Called the coal wars, but many collective bargaining wars broke out throughout the country. 1935 made collective bargaining legal and required procedure if a workplace votes to become unionized. And of course social security comes from FDR's administration along with FDIC (bank deposit insurance that will make good on your money if a bank fails), Glass-Steagal Act that separated investment banking from deposit banking (which unfortunately has since been repealed in 2000 hence the crash and now zombie economy of the US since 2008), and many other progressive economic policies started under FDR. Civil rights under JFK and LBJ and medicare started under LBJ, a medical plan for elderly, US Still doesn't have a universal healthcare system. Anyway, that's the short of it as I could make it. In a nut shell, US politics since the nations inception has been essentially two or three robber baron or plutocratic oligarchical parties going at each other with their own agenda, but business always came first... gotta keep those dynasties funded into the centuries. Occasionally, they get a loose cannon candidate or the use a candidate that feigns what the people need and want to get votes. Kind of like still today.

    As a German, I am a bit overwhelmed to see two entirely German productions in this list. Both are great movies. Das Boot is widely considered as one of the best German movies of all time. The model of the U-Boot can be visited in the "Bavaria Fimstadt", the museum of at the Munich studio that (co-)produced the film, btw. (there are other interesting things, like the original Fuchur from The NEverending Story, for example). And Der Untergang was an astounding movie to watch. It fits perfectly in the German culture of remembering those darkest times of our history: This time, the crimes committed and the dangers of fashism are kept well remembered. The movie came out when I was 16 yo, and we all went to the cinema to watch it, organised by our school for purposes of history classes. The same happend one year later, with the movie "Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage", showing the student resistance group "Weiße Rose", their famous distribution of flyers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich and the resulting arrest, trial, and execution of the siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl (hence "The last days" in the title). Also a very intense movie, yould recommend that, too, if you are interested in accurate portraials of that period and its madness (with the positive side effect, that this movie centers around some of the bravest people of their time. There were not only Nazis in Germany, and we still remember our heroes like Sophie Scholl!). A little remark: the square in front of the main building of the LMU is called "Geschwister Scholl Platz" ("Scholl siblings square") today, and all around the place, there are bronze plates in the ground, exact replicas of the flyers the White Rose distributed there. If you ever visit Munich, this might not be the most impressive sight, but it is a remarkable one (plus not far from the Residence and the Feldherrenhalle and only maybe a 10 minutes walk from the Marienplatz [the city hall] and the Frauenkirche [Cathedral Church of Our Lady], so worth a detour).

    @@judyrobertson9479 well, I don‘t hate war movies. Good war movies, however, don‘t glorify war, or the soldiers. They show war as the gruesome thing it is. Movies like Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket or The Thin Red Line do exactly that. Das Boot does a similar thing. The military vessel ist just, well, the vessel for the story. Which side they are on doesn‘t matter, the presentation of humans in a realistic peril makes the characters relatable. You could tell a similar story in space, the setting altered to science fiction, and it would work. But not as directly, because the fear of drowning, of sinking to the deep dark grounds of the sea is relatable, suffocating in space not so much. What makes the few really good German movies extraordinary, especially the ones based on history (like Das Boot, Der Untergang, Sophie Scholl or Das Leben der Anderen), is the honest depiction of history. A huge (some think, a too big) part of history class in German schools is about the 1st half of the 20th Century. We learn about the crimes committed by Germans, we learn how this could happen, and that it my never happen again. Btw, This approach to history (even unpleasant history) here goes as far as to limit the freedom of speech by law in certain ways: Symbols like the Swastika are banned (there are exceptions for art and education, with strange effects: the use of swastikas was allowed in the movie „Inglorious Basterds“, but not on movie posters), and it is a crime punishable by up to 5 years in prison to deny, approve of, or extenuate the crimes of the Nazis (most notably, the holocaust). In general, incitement is a crime here, but there are several codes specifically pointing out the Nazi regime.

    The film Glory was an incredibly accurate film. Historians viewing the movie found only two mistake in it. In the scene where the guns are being issued to the men, they were calling out the serial numbers on their weapons. Those particular guns had no serial numbers. The flags used in the film were printed like most flags are today. Back then, all flags were sewn together, stripe by stripe and star by star. If these two tiny details are the only faults they could find, Glory should have been an honorable mention at the very least.

    Mark Mason, Glory had more mistakes. They were attacking from the opposite direction that the 54th MA actually attacked. Finally, they were not really the first African-American regiment. There were Black regiments fighting in Port Hudson, Louisiana a month before they fought at James Island. There was also a glitch (perhaps in editing) where they fired their weapons on James Island with bayonets still at their sides and suddenly Shaw is yelling “Charge” and they have their bayonets fixed. Those are minor things and it’s still the second best Civil War movie out there (I like Gettysburg better).

That’s really pathetic and arrogant. I’ve been all around the world and enjoyed almost every place I went to so don’t tell me about getting out more. You modern Brits are so judgmental of everyone who isn’t like you. Besides why do you care if a British film doesn’t sell well here in the US. If you enjoy it for yourself then let it be.

    The version starring Kenneth Branagh is better than the 1980's version maybe because of his acting. But its a scary movie. Did you ever hear of an "Alternate Future" book based on the Wannesee meeting. it's FATHERLAND by Robert Harris and made into a movie with Rutger Hauer. Its a murder mystery. The idea is that Germany / Hitler survived WW 2. Britain and the USA had to agree to a truce because right after the USA dropped the A-Bomb and ended the war with Japan, the Germans announced they also had an A-Bomb. That forced a stalemate because although the USA was out of reach for German's airforce, Engand was not. The book takes up in 1964 when the US President is John Kennedy's father Joseph Kennedy. The truce is still in effect and Hitler is now 75 years old. But big problem. In the USA, more and more accounts and evidence of the Nazi Holocaust is rising in the press and public outrage. Hitler cannot afford for the USA to restart the war (he is still fighting the Soviets west of the Ural mountains). But what to do about those who took part in the Wannesee Meeting--many are still alive. An underground group in Germany has the details of the Wannesee's Final Solution to killing all Jews. The underground will give the details to Joe Kennedy. I will suggest get hold of a copy in paperback. Great book, great ending, but the movie is kinda good.

    The Apollo 13 problems did not occur in orbit, they occurred after the TLI burn, meaning it had left orbit and was flying between the earth and the moon. The main technical advisor for Apollo 13 was David Scott, who walked on the moon as the commander of the Apollo 15 moon landing mission, and had been the pilot the Gemini 8 mission (where he flew with Neil Armstrong) and command module pilot for Apollo 9. Not long before the filming started, NASA had opened a new mission control center. So the mission control scenes were filmed in the actual mission control center used for most of the Apollo missions, including Apollo 13.

    "Take a letter To his Honour the United States Secretary of State John Forsyth, My dear Mr. Forsyth it is my great pleasure to inform you that you are in fact correct, the slave fortress in Sierra Leone does not exist" - Captain Fitzgerald. After his squadron's marines free the slaves held there and he destroys it with gunfire, the RN actually did destroy Lomboko in 1849. Captain Fitzgerald was in command of the squadron of several ships which destroyed it. I have a couple problems with the scene. 1. The ship in the film appears to be a brig, typically an RN brig of the period would have 10 × 18-pounder carronades + 2 × 18 or 32-pounder carronades as bow chasers. Carronades would be a poor choice for shore bombardment being very short range. A far more likely scenario is barrels of gunpowder being brought ashore and the whole place being blown up. The Historica web site does say Captain Fitzgerald had the fort bombarded to ruins, but I question that. The flag on Fitzgerald's ship is the modern RN ensign (post 1864) which would be correct only if Rear Admiral Sir Edward Durnford King, Commander-in-Chief, Cape of Good Hope Station in 1840 was of the 'White' Squadron. The uniform Fitzgerald is wearing is that of a Commander (three rings not four) although entitled to the courtesy title of Captain as he is in command of a the ship. Commander would be appropriate for an 'unrated ship' which did not have a commanding officer with the rank of Captain as a sixth rate or higher would. Fitzgerald could have been a full Captain if he was in charge of a squadron of small ships, sort of like a 'Commodore-Second Class'

What saved America's bacon was voiced clearly by the Japanese Admiral who commanded the attack: "All I fear we have accomplished is that we have awakened a sleeping giant." This man was educated in the US, and he knew our industrial might would soon overcome the devastating blow against Pearl Harbor. Breath, dude, get a grip. Read some history. Japan had the upper hand in the Pacific until the Battle of Midway. It was our capitalist free society and our industrial capacity which re-built our Navy in very short order. Try telling any living survivors of that attack (what few are left) or any of their immediate survivors that Pearl wasn't "all that devastating."

Arthur Griffith was) and the completely untrue account of the death of Harry Boland. Students studying history have to be told to entirely ignore the film and not watch it or else they will get their facts all wrong and mix up truth and fiction in exams. In NO sense is it a historically accurate film. It was a pity the makers took such wild liberties with the facts.

Even though Paisà was filmed in 1946 and Bicycle Thieves in 1948, and even though they are both in black and white, they are extremely accurate in depicting the misery, the suffering and the poverty that war brought to civilians and to soldiers (both to axis and allied soldiers). Both films are set in Italy, and Bicycle Thieves became very famous world wide. In both films, the actors were just randomly chosen civilians, in order to portray reality as accurate as possible, and the destroyed houses in the film Paisà were real houses which were destroyed by bombs and which weren't yet rebuilt. These two films are masterpieces in my opinion.

This lead to the union breaking the flank and his part may have saved many lives. In the movie at the end of the battle they asked Pickett to gather his men and he’s like. What men? Epic quote. Loved it.

    I would add Clint Eastwood 's Letters from Iwo Jima as well.

    +muhammad bian but just not historically accurate. They couldn't get away of tarnishing his legend with the truth.

    Master and Commander: Far Side of the World is a very, very accurate portrayal of life at sea in the age of fighting sail.

    it was an exceptional film, and deserved to have a sequel.

    I'm pleasantly surprised to see Master & Commander as an accurate representation of the days of the Napoleonic Wars' at sea. Indeed a great deal of work went into the goal of accuracy. The movie's total earnings initially were very respectable but according to Peter Weir the early demonstration of public enthusiasm was not sufficient for him to consider a sequel. Quite frankly, I'd welcome a series of sequels and through his Twitter account Russell Crowe has shown his readiness to consider it. This movie was very well made, never slacking in action and interesting dialog and will remain one of my favourites along with The African Queen, The Third Man, Seven Days in May, the Hannibal Lecter series and The Godfather trilogy.

    nickle...........: Nice of you to say so, thanks. I'm less than a full bottle on the Zulu Wars in southern Africa but from what little I've discovered ZULU was probably historically accurate.

    Accurate portrayal, yes (extremely so). But not historical,. since it relates events that are incontrovertibly fiction.

    Awesome lineup, but I'm kind of bummed that "The Perfect Storm" did not make it onto the list. Still, great vid

    One of most historically accurate films is also black hawk down...portraying battle of mogadishu to the details and even recreating a number of actual soldiers that were fighting there
