I thought that Dumb And Dumber pretty accurately portrayed Obama and Hillary.

A buddy of mine said the boot camp parts of Apocalypse Now we’re pretty much spot on to his time.

Yeah, the German M-48 Patton tanks advancing across the Ardennes desert really screamed verisimilitude.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Why?
It's Texas.
They have chainsaws.
On a Friday night, they be in a mood for a massacre.

TTT was based upon FDR apologist Gordon Prange's "At Dawn We Slept". It was as true to his book as any movie of it's period could be.
If only Richard Fleischer had directed that 2001 piece of crap instead of Michael Bay.

The movie “Battle of the Bulge” was denounced by former President (and Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during WW2) Dwight D. Eisenhower soon after its release in a press conference due to its glaring historical inaccuracies.

I think the worst one of all because it was totally made up was “Fargo”.
I read an article some time ago where a couple of guys from that area were talking and they could not remember any crime which resembled the movie at all.
Turns out that the movie despite saying it was true, was totally made up.

I agree ‘Laurence of Arabia’ didn’t portray the man as he really was. And the movie certainly veered way off the facts.
I also agree...’Tora Tora Tora’ seemed pretty much according to the facts.

Gone With The Wind
It truly deserves that accolade too. It’s almost uncanny, esp. the clothes. Some outfits, even though they are barely described in the book are just as one imagined them.
It’s probably the greatest chick flick of all time.
Another one that is really good, and more for men, is “The Leopard” with an international cast including Burt Lancaster in the lead.
Great book, great movie. If you see it in Italian with subtitles, much of the subtitled dialogue is right out of the book. That’s the one I’ve seen most, so I’m not sure about the English language version.

I don’t recall a boot camp scene in Apocalypse Now - you might be thinking of Full Metal Jacket with Sgt. Ermey as the drill instructor.

“We Were Soldiers” and “The Passion of the Christ” by Mel Gibson followed the books closely. Several combat veterans I know answered that the “We Were Soldiers” was the most accurate portrayal of Viet Nam of any movie. The movie about the crucifixion of Christ by Gibson was as close to the Bible as one could get.

I believe Apollo 13 was technically accurate, but probably less so with respect to personalities of the astronauts and ground crew.
I would like to believe that Gettysburg was fairly accurate.
