Season 6 Episode 9 of Game of Thrones should be on there for the giant alone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The first half hour of The Eagle was a good battle between Romans and British Celts. Unfortunately the rest of the movie is a predictable snoozer buddy movie.

Oh, Hollywood. I was thinking of a war novel, Red Storm Rising.

The Marine march from the Tangier Harbor port evolving to a foot charge on the Basha's palace in The Wind and the Lion may heve been fictional, but somewhere, I think President Roosevelt was smiling. Bully! That's the way to handle it!

Fire! Re.....load, CHARGE!

Bun-bun at the Battle of Rabun Gap, from John Ringo's Earth-Posleen War book series:

I also highly recommend the Belorussian movie “Brest Fortress.”
