I thought Tora, Tora, Tora was pretty realistic and I believe historically accurate.

TTT was based upon Gordon Prange’s difinitive work and was pretty much based upon witness/participant testimony. If only Hollywood could combine such a respect for actual history with CGI capabilities today.

Uhh - not all that much: even though they made all those erzatz Japanese planes out of T-6s and Vultee BT-13s, the ships were modern and the plot plodding -

That, and it was about Pearl Harbor, not Midway.
