“Battle of The Pelennor Fields “
Totally Agree
With the Battle of the Hornberg, Five Armies, and the Battle of the Dargolad (wish he had given us more details...but, that’s the charm of the whole series, leave you wanting more)
ANY battle from ‘Starship Troopers’

Gotta go with US Marines vs. Aliens in
Battle: Las Angeles.
One squad of Marines, plus civilian refugees, turns the tide of the whole battle with an attack on the Aliens' communications.
Don't know about historical accuracy and tactics, but the movie's a rarity in today's times - actually pro-US military. Worth seeing for that reason alone.

Have to agree with SkyPilot here.
Master and Commander is superb; a truly great movie in all respects.
My favorite movie of all time, btw.

The
Coat-hanger Scene from Birdemic. It has it all: small-unit tactics, movement, fearsome weaponry, and a wily and agile opponent.
Yes, this was a real movie.

300 wasn’t trying to replicate history, it was replicating historical storytelling. Greeks were really fond of the Heroic Nude, good guys, including Spartans, were generally depicted mostly naked. The central conceit of the movie is taking Greek paintings and statuary and turning into film.

If Little Beaver had pressed King Kong Bundy, that’d be about the same as Hogan pressing Andre.

Personally I like the battle for Valencia in EL CID,
The battle against the Persians in THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, Spartacus.
The Battle of the Bulge (1965), almost total fiction.
Battles against pirates old movies from 1935-1965.
Captain Blood
The Sea Hawk
Caribbean (1953)
The Black Swan
And who could forget the fictionalizing of 55 days at Peking.
Then there is the battle for Montezuma’s Castle in FLAMING FEATHER.
To: C19fan
The opening battle scene in Gladiator is awesome. I also like the battle scene of Agincourt including the collection of soldiers after the battle in Henry V, Zulu and the final battle scene in We Were Soldiers.
