Sticking strictly to movies about actual people:
John Wayne's THE ALAMO would be up there.
THE UNTOUCHABLES (K. Costner version) has little connection to the real story
CLEOPATRA (the Liz Taylor version)- among other things, one of the most famous scenes has her litter passing under an arch that was built almost 200 years after she lived. That would be like making a movie about George Washington and featuring the Statue of Liberty.
GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL (several versions)- the real gunfight was about 30 seconds.
BONNIE & CLYDE- they were mass murdering whitetrash much more like Natural Born Killers than the romantic couple in Dunaway/Beatty movie.
Not a movie, but HBO's ROME has some whoppers- I can't believe they omitted Augustus's first two wives, for example, or had a Julius Caesar with a full head of hair (he was the father of the comb-over).

somewhat some your answer will remember on your particular standards. working example, if the objective is to have an exhilarating extreme power adventure, shawshank won't do this. There are different issues to weigh needless to say, issues like historic attitude, particular favoritism to particular genres, like comedy or horror. That stated, almost everyone I incredibly have ever spoken to has enjoyed the Shawshank in extra desirable than in straightforward terms a superficial way. i will appropriate say there is not yet another movie i've got encountered that has that form of worry-free appeal. As for me individually, its the final made movie i've got seen. the excuses why are obtrusive yet additionally diffused. It touches on many obtrusive subject concerns of movies(like redemption, wish, perseverance, friendship, existence, etc), yet it does so in diffused techniques too. The protagonists have as lots intensity by way of fact the villains do and the battles experience very very own. certainly, even the putting bears a extensive weight on the visitors as we would even experience Andy's oppression. All advised, it grew to become into the final movie i've got individually ever seen.

"300".
I don't know what's worse, portraying the Persians as decadent club kids (they were very modest dressers, really), or that those same Persians rode rhinos.
Not sayin' it was a horrible film, just sayin' it was disgustingly inaccurate.

"The Battle of the Bulge" comes to mind.

Kudos to Michael J. below for 'Birth of a Nation'. Woodrow Wilson said "it is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true." Gosh, Wilson wasn't a Southerner, was he??
