#Films accurate to the time period

  • 1917 - WWI based two guys are sent to stop an attack that is a trap
  • The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - WWII Concentration camp story Apparently this is a bad representation
  • The Death of Stalin - It's a comedy there are quite a few liberties taken, I've changed my mind on this
  • Defiance - WWII, not sure how I'd describe it quickly without too many spoilers
  • Enemy at the Gates - WWI Snipers having a snipe-off
  • Fly Boys - WWI Pilots
  • Good Morning Vietnam - Vietnam War, comedy and drama all rolled into one.
  • A Knight's Tale - Comedy about Jousting
  • Maverick - Comedy about Poker (wild west-ish)
  • O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Comedy set in the early 30s I think
  • Road to Perdition - Mobster movie with a twist, Tom hanks set in the 30s

Based on true events, with varying levels of success

  • 300
  • Apollo 13
  • Bridge of Spies - Cold War
  • Charlie Wilson's War - Gulf War US Politics
  • Devotion - WWII Pilots
  • Hidden Figures - Space Race NASA Story
  • The Imitation Game - WWII Enigma code breaking
  • The Kings Speech - King George VI's story up to the beginning of WWII
  • October Sky - Space Race
  • Remember the Titans - Racial integration and football in the US
  • Valkyrie - WWII Hitler assignation plot
