I think ‘Tora, Tora, Tora’ was pretty accurate.

Much more accurate than “Pearl Harbor.” I was routing for the Japanese to shoot down Ben Affleck.

My father, who was at Pearl Harbor and saw Tora, Tora, Tora, would beg to differ.

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.

If you count flying restored and replica Japanese Zeros off the stern of an American aircraft carrier “accurate”.

One of the major reasons Akira Kurosawa left the film.

I lean more towards ‘We Were Soldiers’, ‘Battle of Britain’, ‘Hamburger Hill’ and ‘Dam Busters’ as the best and most detailed war films.
