Wouldn’t it be easier and much shorter of a list to post accurate historical movies? (still can’t think of one).
I’ve only found a few, The Longest Day, Tora Tora Tora, A Night to Remember, and unbelievable Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center are some of them. Military movies do better, I guess because they are better documented with a little less political spin.
There are some errors but the filmmakers made an effort. Midway, the original uncut which is difficult to find, has some good accurate military stuff but they insisted on adding a totally inane idiotic love story and drama.

“The Great Escape” was pretty accurate, although , like all, there was poetic license. Steve McQueen wasn’t actually there
I went and looked over my movie collection, to see if I could find more accurate ones other than the ones I’ve mentioned already.
One is Apollo 13, which I heard one of the original astronauts say was pretty accurate except for the language - we just didn’t “talk that way” (profanity) then.
Another I thought in the battle dogfights might be “Flyboys” - there are some inaccuracies - one of the most notable ones was the color of the german planes (admittedly made because the bright red added “pop”) but while the lives were all made up supposedly the “feel” of the WWI brigade was authentic.
Also Miracle was supposedly true in a lot of ways, even down to the late night skating scene. The original coach Herb Brooks was a major consultant.
