So what are some interesting and historically accurate movies that /his/ watches?
I prefer ones available on Netflix, but beggars cant be choosers.
>pic of course not related
![reds-movie-poster-1020541487[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/8G1giwK.jpg "reds-movie-poster-1020541487[1].jpg")
fantastic movie based on john reed, the only english-language reporter in st. peterburg for the russian revolution. long, but worth it, and one of my favourite movies.
>>963015
er, only english-language reporter in tight with the bolshevik leadership. dude was a serious commie/socialist.
>>963015
Just did a quick search and this looks pretty good. Going to wait around and see if any Netflix available answers show up, but i'm defiantly gonna watch this in next few days.
Have some sweet art for payment.
Aside from the name changes and romance subplot, Shogun pretty much lifts its plot from the real life of William Adams.
>>963015
>>963034
Damn, you guys are killing me with these interesting as fuck yet not on Netflix recommendations.
>>963040
The entirety of Shogun is on YouTube actually. Its 36 years old.
>>963044
Oh shit then im about to watch that, thanks man.
Das Boot is the best WW2 film and one of the greatest films made.
I recommend watching the full uncut version (it's something like 5 hours). Totally worth it.
>>963053
Thanks man, WWII is interesting AF.
Alright someone has to have a good Netflix rec, I need something on the TV while I work on work shit. Otherwise i'd be watching on of the pretty awesome recs already made.
Bump w/ more art.
Also if there isn't one already, /his/ should compile a list of historically accurate movies and books.
>i'm operating under the assumption that there there isn't a list
The Admiral.
Korean movie about Yi Sun Shin btfoing Hideyoshi's invasion, the replica ships used in filming shocked the historians at a Japanese museum with how exactly recreated they were. And it's on netflix :3
Brilliantly produced with love. The best part? The adventures of Aubery are actually toned down in the film.
>>963110
>>963112
Thanks guys. Just put The Admiral on. :^)
I think i'm going to work on compiling a list of /his/ approved movies and books so that future /his/torians don't have to make the same threads over and over. Wish me luck and offer as many recs for the list as you can. :]
Shohei Imamura's Black Rain and Zegen (Lord of the Brothels) are bretty good.

>>963271

I really like movies about WWII operations. The best ones made no more than 30 years after the war.
The Longest Day
Patton
A Bridge Too Far
Battle of Britain
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Not sure about Midway. In any case I think that's it. There are movies that feature other large campaigns like Stalingrad but I meant a specific kind of movie with real characters, generals moving forces on the map. You know the kind. I hope Dunkirk revives the trend.
What else could they make? Monte Cassino? Tobruk?
Hornblower
A mini series about a young officer in the British Navy around Napoleons era, who rises through the ranks.

Added.
>>963407
Btw those
>Unsere Mutter, Unsere Vater
>Boss Nigger
Were meant to be jokes. There are far better things to watch than a blaxploitation movie that hasn't aged well and... well I can say that both are products of their time.
>>963408
Also Red and the White. Read the wiki page on it, how it's a refutation of traditional "anti-war" films
>>963411
Alright lol
>>963415
Added
Lots of movies about the Bolshevik revolution. Are those apologist movies? Because any movie that tries to show the revolution as "not so different" is a missed cause.
>tfw no good movie about the political situation in Europe following WWI, British support for the Soviets and the war with Poland
Ok it's important not to think that history movies=war movies.
Good non-war history movies:
-Munich
-Gandhi
-Amistad
-Chariots of Fire
-Shackleton
-All the President's Men (not sure how much of it is accurate)
-John Adams (miniseries)
-A Man for All Seasons
-The Last Emperor
-Malcolm X
-The Last King of Scotland
-Mutiny on the Bounty

The Abandoned Field (1979) Engsub
The Vietnam war from a Vietnamese perspective. Actually creates an enjoyable movie and an historical experience. The Americans are portrayed by Vietnamese as well, which is interesting.
I need some good medieval shit to watch. Nothing post 1500

Also, i'm thinking about trip-fagging so that the list doesn't become disorganized? Will you all bully me for it?
>>963478
Try "Hard to Be a God" (2013).
I know this is sci-fi, but I think it's one of the best image of medievel city and medievel people.
>>963510
Yeah it can go on because there aren't many good medieval movies that I can think of. But the best that I've seen is valley of the bees. Its Czech but you can torrent it with English subs

Does anyone think True Grit would be a good addition? I think it showcases pretty well what the west was like in the time period.

Is there a Historical movie that isn't focused on heroes, glory and legends? Something down to earth like the story of its people and how events in history shaped them.
Grave of the Fireflies and Joyeux Noel comes to mind for me.

Alright /his/ i'm off to bed, i'll be back either later today or tmrw to continue the list.
>>963637
Another very good medieval Czech movie : marketa lazarova
The Duelists
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxUfsylOo2k
>>963112
Just remember it's a movie women just can't understand.
The highlighted ones are definitely /his/ I think.
>>963767
To elaborate a little:
>Andrei Rublev
Cinematic masterpiece and required viewing for any cinephile.
It follows the life of Andrei Rublev, the greatest Russian icons painter that lived in 14th century Russia. It depicts a very dark and almost surreal picture of the harsh place that was 14th century Russia.
>Back to 1942
A pretty great, if recent Chinese Epic. It details the flight of a family of Chinese civilians from the war torn provinces to the apparent safety of the eastern interior. As we see the bourgeois family descend further and further into poverty and famine we get a glimpse in the various every day epics that populated the China of 1942, be it a fervent monk's crusade, the corrupted 12th Warzone Mobile Court or fucking Adrien Brody.
I really recommend it.
>Barry Lyndon
It's mainstream so just google it.
>Joyeux Noel
Heartwarming story taking place on the front lines in Northern France on Christmas 1914. Based on a true story.
>Marketa Lazarova
In medieval Bohemia, no one is safe from bandits of the highways
>The Gospel according to ST. Matthew
Vaticancore
>Waterloo
Perhaps the most epic film ever filmed. During the making of the movie, the director was in command of the 4th largest army in Europe as the Soviet Army lent him 2 divisions and several specialist units to use as standins for the reenactment of Waterloo.
Also immensely quotable.
>Alexander Nevsky
Almost nil in actual historical value, but one of the pinnacles of Soviet Filmmaking. Also Prokofiev wrote the soundtrack(!)
>Battleship Potemkin
Another propaganda movie, but one of the cornerstones of the cinema world. Again required viewing if you want to pretend to be a cinephile.
>Ordet
Danish movie about a vicar in the 30's and a moral dilemma. More /vaticancore/
Stuff that ain't on the pic:
>Indigenes
Great French movie about the enlisted Algerians serving the FFL during Operation Dragoon. In some ways the French Saving Private Ryan. Really good movie despite what /pol/ says.
>>963797
Furher on, there's also
>die Wälder sind noch Grün
A quite decent slovene-austrian production for its (very) limited budget. It tells the story of an isolated Austrian outpost on the Isonzo front.
Questions are asked as an old world dies and a new generation, born from the savagery of the first global conflict is born.
>>963808
There are a few more
>Na svoji zemlji
First real slovene movie. It was released in 1948 and is obviously a partizan movie (the first in a long line) about the glorious liberation of motherland from fascist pigs.
It's notable because it set the standard for slovene filmmaking still followed today. It's bleak, introspective, over dramatic and looks like something Ibsen would write.
>>963767
>the gospel according to Matthew
>historical
Try again
>>963588
Reminder that Barry Lyndon is a fucking masterpiece and in terms of the quality of the film (not historical accuracy) it's the best one. Kubrick modified cameras using NASA technology so that he could film by candle light and the natural light of the old buildings he filmed in. The entire thing looks like a painting.
>>963375
I like it a lot same with Band of Brothers.
Kelley's Heroes
Where Eagles Dare
The Dirty Dozen
Guns of Navarone
The Great Escape
these movies kick ass, they never get old.
>>963819
/his/ - History and Humanities
It's a staple of christian cinema and is on Vatican's "Best Movies as selected by the Messenger of God on Earth aka The Pope's list". If we make a /his/ movies list, it's got to be on there.
>>963818
Another very good one is
>The Border Post (Karaula)
It's a (sadly) pretty realistic depictions of the state of the Yugoslav People's Army in the late 80's. Prepare to laugh and cry at systematic power abuse and Yugoslav nonchalance. A good slap in the face to Yugonostaligcs.
>>963526
>Does anyone think True Grit would be a good addition? I think it showcases pretty well what the west was like in the time period.
If you mean the one with Jeff Bridges then yes, that was great.
>>963835
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPUXPFNanhg&nohtml5=False
Here's a sample, really fun movie.
Also in the Yugoslav repertoire, there's
>See You in the Next War
It's a great Yugoslav (mainly Slovene) production based on the critically acclaimed Slovene novel "Menuet za kitaro". In the 70's in a Spanish holidays resort, a former Slovene Partizan and a former Wehrmacht soldier, that were bitter enemies during the war, meet. They reflect on their memories. In the backdrop the movie asks itself what is the role of an intellectual during war time.

>>963375
Gets far too much shit from internet contrarians with >muh propoganda.
All the acting is fine, if not very good. The story is straightforward and well paced. And of course the action is easily among Spielberg's most intense.
>>963958
I'm not saying he isn't
>>963967
I was saying that the church's idea of good movies is irrelevant because the pope is a duck, and for that matter the popes have been cucks since at least Vatican ii if not sooner. also no need for you to get upset over me using the meme word 'cuck', seeing as we are on 4chan
>>963974
>duck
Cuck
>>963974
Alright, I concede my point about using the word cuck, but it is annoying
The movie list is actually pretty good, regardless of the Church's political stances
>>963980
No worries m8 I was just rusing you
I can vouch for a few of these. I can't remember if beneath hill 60 is on this list, but it was one of my favorite ww1 films. A bit hallmarky at times, but told a dope story.
Watched the trench with Daniel Craig last night. Wasn't too impressed. I would need to talk through it with someone else to decide if i think it's decent or not.

Lets start this.
L'ennemi intime
French troops in Algeria,i liked it especialy napalm scene
Das Leben der Anderen
Stasi agent spying on a theater writer.Watch directors cut and cry a lot at the end.
Das boot has already been mentioned,but lets say again,if you havent watched it,do it now.
Alatriste, Aragorn is Spanish 17th century mercenary,great movie.
St. George Slays The Dragon, WW1 movie about disabled vets from Balkan wars and fresh meat serving in WW1.its pretty solid for a movie from my country.

A long series, and maybe a bit too flag-waving for some, but otherwise superb
This is a brilliant re-creation of high Victorian life, and is very factual.
Sex, drugs and light operetta.

>>963439

> good
>>963007
this is pure autistic history. No shoehorned love story or really any characters or any gay drama to draw in the normies. Its just the story of the attack on Pearl Harbor and focuses on the big players on both sides.
its great
>>964860
Battle of Britain is the same way. These movies are amazing considering the spectacle of them. All those planes and explosions and what not. I know people tend to look down on action scenes as trashy, but the amount of detail and the way they choreographed all these planes and battles scenes is a work of art.
highly recommend both, although I liked Tora Tora Tora a bit more. The German side in BoB is a bit flat. Still a great epic
Great film (and more relevant now than ever): Inherit the Wind.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_DQUAuNUvw&nohtml5=False
>>964878
The amazing thing to keep in mind is that they actually scraped together pretty much all the surviving Hurricanes, Spitfires, etc. And basically rented out the Spanish Air Force, which had MEs and Heinkels.
>>963478
Ivan the Terrible part I and II
It's 1500s but Russia is almost always 150 years behind or so
The Americans (tv show)
Not just for Cold War espionage, it's a top tier 80s Americana period piece
>>963007
I guess Platoon would be a good one since its basically Oliver Stones story of his tour in Vietnam.
one of the few movies about a war/historical event made by someone who was actually there
>>963007
Beasts of no Nation - child soldier in an unnamed conflict in West Africa (clear references to Liberia/Sierra Leone)
On netflix too, a seriously good watch.

>Khartoum
>Lion of the desert
>>963108
Does manga work? Because Victorian Romance Emma is actually pretty amazingly well researched and historically accurate, consider the author is Japanese. The dresses are correct, the social conventions are correct, the names are correct, it's one of few actually historically accurate Romances.
>Lincoln my allegiance is to Virginia. To the Confederacy!

Since Adams lived out the rest of his life as any other noble in Japan, its likely that he did eventually take a Japanese wife, but the miseries has nothing to do with that.
The miniseries is filmed a bit like any other 70's production (since it was in production a while before release in 1980), but its plot is unique.It's not Avatar with Japs like The Last Samurai was.
>>965017
Disclaimer: Not at all hating on The Last Samurai, I fucking love that movie. It's just mainly a popcorn flick where the most historically accurate thing about it is the setting.
>>963821
The movie is fucking incredible, yes, but how is it historically inaccurate?
Surely not because the people and their interactions it portrayed aren't based on real events?
>>963909
You know that shit pissed me off at first too.
But when I learned that some of the immigrants had tears coming down their faces when this happened my anger dissipated.
>>963112
Excellent movie
Thoughts? Haven't watched it since I was a boy. Truly great memories of it though.
>>963145
Nice one anon
>>965496
Isn't that a level from Call of Duty 2003?
Based Gettysburg. Definitely worth a watch and its on youtube
>>965503
Perhaps the level was a reference to the film. It's is about operation market garden
The Human Condition, seriously! Very telling trilogy of films that display the Japanese method in dealing with Chinese in Manchuria and forcing them into labor camps. You can look up a more detailed plot analysis.

A few more of the top of my head:
The Ghost Army: It's on netflix. It's about an American diversion/counter intelligence unit that consisted of artists using props to fool Germans
Hamburger Hill: Not sure how accurate it is but it's worth a watch if you're into gritty, depressing Vietnam movies.
Enemy at the gates: obligatory

Kaoru Mori is great.
Otoyemagatari has the same fantastic attention to detail of the period its portraying.

Bergman's medieval stuff. Not really accurate at all but good vibes.
Real af recommendations. Come and See has already been said, but bears mentioning again.
Even better, City of Life and Death.
RUSSIAN ARK
Le Roi Danse is a pretty good movie about the court of King Louis XIV. They paid a lot of careful attention to appropriate period dress, music and most importantly... ballet!
The story of the movie is rather surprisingly true, but they under-emphasized Lully's relationship with Jean-Philippe Rameau, imo.
Love Songs of Tiedan is one of my favorite Chinese movies, it has really good details of what it was like to live in a small Northern Chinese town during and after the Cultural Revolution.
>>965621
>City of Life and Death
What a great. film. I would never recommend it to anyone though just because of how depressing it is.

G-gangs of New York?
I can only recommend under the sign of the scorpion by juri lina
Kelly's Heroes is a great WWII comedy
Seven Samurai is an incredibly lengthy epic set during a pivotal time in Japanese history
Any good movies about the Spanish Civil War or of the Spanish colonial wars of independence?

Why not that movie about chris by Scorsese while you are at it.
The new world was apparently accurate. Not to mention a beautiful piece of cinema.
No one has posted Duck, You Sucker! The disappointment is real, oh and sorry if anyone has said Waterloo
Ken Burn's Civil War doc is one of the greatest documentaries on American history ever put to screen. Shelby Foote should narrate every documentary on US history ever.
>>968344
I realized that I worded that poorly, I know Foote is dead before anyone points that out.
>>968344
he really was the best. RIP
>>963110
This movie was fun to watch, but the acting is hammy (Asians seem to have zero sense of subtlety) and the Japs are a bit cartoonishly evil.
I did learn a good bit about SE Asian naval warfare though.
>>963112
Anyone read these books? They're comfy as fuck. Would also recommend Horatio Hornblower.
>>963399
Force 10 from Navarone is a good one like this.
>>969582
I just grabbed like the last five I needed for two bucks at a Goodwill last week. Find of the year, honestly.
>>965173
Fairly accurate in terms of setting, as far as I know.
Has
-Early Georgian debauchery
-poofy Louie European nobles
-warfare being a slog of walking for miles and then walking into gunfire
-duels being shitty
I don't know how accurate it is to the book. There was a weird fad of early modern authors writing the entire lives of their protagonists in brick-sized novels.
>>963635
>Mongol
It's so boring though, and focuses on such a small and boring part of his life.
Where I think we've explored least in terms of potential is a horror movie about the mongols.
Imagine seeing it from a european/middle eastern POV, then have us follow people who have their town raided, have our protagonist be in the middle of things and barely make it out of situations like the mass executions, show how even when you hide and manage to remain hidden in a town, they then return to the town to dig out any survivors or ppl that hid themselves to finish them off.
Show how maybe he gets spared because the protagonist shows his usefulness as an engineer or the like, but then has to watch how his friends and the people of his town be chained up and be used as meatshields in the front, show how the mongols use their catapults to send in dead and rotting animals.
So much potential for good horror, and for the most part it would all be historically accurate.
>>964556
iirc the movie itself is pretty historically accurate, it just isn't a good movie
There Will Be Blood
>look through thread
>no doctor zhivago
>mfw
Excellent film, not the most historically accurate of course, but it's a real masterpiece.
"Memories of Murder" is not a movie about a historical event per se, but its a great whodunnit movie based on the first serial killer of Korea and has the Democratic Uprising of 1986 as a backdrop.
Just a great and kinda funny mystery movie about a bunch of cops who resort to good old fashioned police brutality.
The four feathers covers an often overlooked part of history: The sudan campaign.
Its where the kitchener poster comes from if your not aware (WE WANT YOU poster as its commonly known as now becasue of bastardized american version with uncle sam.)
no idea if it was mentioned yet but Kagemusha is very good and it's set in the Sengoku period of Japan
The Duelists.
>>963108
Historical accuracy is to a point subjective though. We can try our best to understand the past but even recent events are shrouded in mystery. For example a lot of what we 'know' about the USSR might be propaganda or exaggerated.
>tfw no movie based on Storm of Steel
the madness of king George
Not very accurate but a damn classic musical adaption.
>>972122
>musical
My way. A korean and a japanese travel to Europe in WWII in an absurd and humanist journey. Realized by a korean guy. Not your average american movie, there are no hero and nothing us worth fighting for except maybe the man next to you
>>963007
Vouching for Lawrence of Arabia and Bridge on the River Kwai. They can be wrong about some of the historical details but I'm pretty sure they're essential /his/torical cinema at this point.
I can also vouch for The Great Raid, which, as far as I know, is historically accurate, even if it's just a decent film.
Beasts of No Nation was mentioned by another anon too. It's a good film about West African child soldiers.
Vouching for The Killing Fields which is about one man's experience under the Khmer Rouge. Accurate as far as I can tell, and the main actor himself was a Khmer Rouge survivor.
>>972269
Forgot pic.
Apocalypto is a great time, and more accurate than Gibson's other stuff.
>>972289
Still inaccurate af

Johnny Mad Dog is similar. It's on youtube.

Interesting premise, terrible execution. The battle scenes are so fucking ridiculous I almost had to stop watching at points.
>La battaglia di Algeri - The Battle Of Algiers (1966)
An Algerian-Italian historical movie about the Algerian uprising in 1956-57 trough the view of the FLN. Was banned in France (lifted 1971) due to political controversy and was screened in pentagon a few months after the Invasion of Iraq concluded "regarding it as a useful illustration of the problems faced in Iraq"

This.
I really like this movie it portrays a virtually unknown part of Mexican history.
I also kinda don't like how the writers thinks that it's about fighting for religious freedom.
