Gettysburg (1993) - self explanatory

The Crossing (2000) - direct to TV movie about Washington crossing the Delaware and the following battle

Lawrence of Arabia (1962) - absolutely great movie, but keep in mind that it's almost 4 hours long

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) - story itself is based on fiction, but the sailor life etc are pretty damn accurate

The Battle of Algiers (1966) - havent's seen this one, but apparently the movie is so accurate that the Pentagon screened it saying that the Iraq troops could learn a lot from it. So I guess it's pretty fuking gritty/naturalistic.

Rome was awesome, even enjoyed the second season although the pacing was all over the place.

If you want to watch something thats not from hollywood and tells a grim story that actually happend, try this (its was nominated for oscars).



https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0879843/
Plot:
Directed by multi-award winning veteran Polish director Andrzej Wajda, Katyn investigates the murder of thousands of Polish officers by the Soviet Secret Police during World War II. Among those killed was Wajda's own father.

The disappearance of over 15,000 officers in 1940 was a mystery at first and news of the tragedy was not revealed until the spring of 1943, after the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union uncovered the mass graves in Russia's Katyn Forest. During the USSR's post-war occupation of Poland, Soviet propagandists blamed the deaths on the Nazis and set out to punish anyone speaking the truth. After fifty years of cold war secrecy, the Kremlin officially confessed in 1990 that Stalin and the KGB were responsible for the crime. Katyn uses stories from authentic diaries and letters to tell the fate of four officers and their families, and one woman's courageous determination to uncover the truth.
