Not a movie but still god tier

>>2734662
Kingdom of Heaven.

If they ever made a good movie about the 1565 Siege of Malta at about the same quality, I'd put that up top.

What's the best WWII flickie?

The Mission (1974)

>>2734746
Movie isn't even good as far as storytelling goes, let alone historicity.

>>2734782
Hard to say, but I'll have to go with Where Eagles Dare.

New russian version of Stalingrad is pretty lit

Boer history is so obscure. This isn't straight up history, but it's about white South Africans and has some cool battles with niggers.

Best TLDR of post colinial africa out there

>>2734782
Either A Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day or Battleground!. All feature veterans of the particular battles as actors in their respective films. My personal favorite is Battleground! but YMMV.

Probably Lawrence of Arabia.
