Re: Favourite War Film

For good accuracy: Tora, Tora, Tora and Band Of Brothers. Also, The Horse Soldiers as it is based on an actual US Civil War Raid.

Worst accuracy: The Patriot with Mel Gibson. Only two things in the movie are accurate: There was an American Revolutionary War and there was (is) a city of Charleston, SC. The rest of the movie is garbage: Braveheart set in the US. Second worst accuracy: Troy. War lasting 3 weeks instead of 10 years, Troy the size of a major modern city....etc. However, it did not matter as my wife said (about the accuracy), "I don't care, I got to see Brad Pitt naked". Hollywood wins!
