The movie that really moved me was Schindlers List. I saw the movie in highschool and I can still remember it to this day. It was a blizzard out and my history teacher required that his students see a film once a month on a topic from class and I was less than thrilled to go at first , but then I saw the movie and was very moved. Powerfull.

"The Private Live of Elizabeth and Essex", starring Bette Davis and Errol Flynn"; "They Died With Their Boots On" - Custer, starring Errol Flynn; "The Young Mr. Lincoln", starring Raymond Massey; "Edison The Man", starring Spencer Tracy; "Drums along the Mohawk", starring Henry Fonda; "The Patriot", starring Mel Gibson; D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation"; "Tora!Tora!Tora!", starring Neville Brand, James Whitmore, Takahiro Tamura and others; "The Longest Day", starring Richard Burton, Sean Connery and others; "The Great Escape", starring Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence, James Garner, James Coburn and others; "Run Silent, Run Deep", starring Clark Gable; but finally the best is the "Victory At Sea" series with music by Richard Rodgers, showing actual battle footage.

Gettysburg is historically accurate and worth seeing. Master and Commander, while depicting its time correctly, changed the enemy in the book to the French in the film, apparently to make it more palatable for American audiences.

if you want historical accuracy, try Tora, Tora, Tora (Pearl Harbor), Patton (biographical, WWII), 1776 (American Revolution), Midway (WWII), Raid on Antebe (Foriegn Political Conflict/Terrorism/Israel)...
Pearl Harbor and Saving Pvt Ryan were entertaining, but too much Hollywood for real accuracy...
