OMG! I remember that. Was played on cable not that long ago. Just wished it wasn’t in ‘musical’ form.

“Much more accurate than “Pearl Harbor.” I was routing for the Japanese to shoot down Ben Affleck.”
Pearl Harbor was an awful, awful movie. I never could finish watching it. And Ben Affleck was the PERFECT awful, awful actor for such an awful, awful movie.

One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich.
I have read the book by Alexander Solzhenitsyn more than once, and the movie, which you can now find on Youtube in 10 parts, or as a whole, is very close to the book.

“Turns out that the movie despite saying it was true, was totally made up.”
Yeah, I thought the claim of being “true” was a stroke of genius. It made me laugh because I had a not-too-bright acquaintance that vehemently insisted the movie HAD to be true because it SAID it was true, despite the fact by that time the Cohens had admitted it was all fiction.

I'd have to put "Pocahontas" up there, along with "Bambi."
More seriously, Roberto Rosellini made a number of movies which strove for historical accuracy rather than box-office appeal, such as La Prise du Pouvoir par Louis XIV (The Taking of Power by Louis XIV), which showed how Louis XIV made himself the real master of the French government instead of a figurehead. He also did a movie on the Renaissance and one on the Age of St. Augustine.

I always wondered about “Sgt York” with Gary Cooper. I’ve done a bit of reading and it seems accurate. In any case, I truly enjoy the movie and Alvin York is a bit of a hero of mine.

Sir Walter Scot invented the historical novel where the characters and story are fictional but the setting is accurate.
I think Dr. Zhivago might quality as a historically accurate fictional movie.

Goodfellas was pretty accurate except that they changed the names of some of the major characters and merged a few others.
Zero Dark Thirty was allegedly too accurate and some folks found themselves in hot water over that film.
