Kendall,
Das Boot!
Since the USA is the world's biggest movie maker (you're welcome) they might have a smidge of advantage in this list... Take your hate somewhere else.

Of this collection of 20 movies, "Troy" would be the weakest in terms of historical accuracy (and acting). "Gladiator" being a very close second choice. The top two in this collection would be, in my opinion, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List" for it's accurate (for Hollywood) representation of actual events in WW2, but also capturing the emotion with impressive authenticity. "Das Boot" is exceptional for it's accurate representation of the unmitigated terror and uncertainty of close quarter submarine combat. The best older movie here would be "Patton." It's a respectful interpretation of his tenure as a multi-starred General in the Pacific Theater of WW2, and George C. Scott pulled off a commanding performance as "Old Blood & Guts."

And far too many deliberate (artistic licence) and accidental (ignorance) inaccuracies in most of them to be considered 'historical'.

#3 Russell Crowe actually learned to play the violin for this movie so that his violin playing sequence didn't have to be faked and dubbed.
From IMdB: "Russell Crowe spent 3 months learning violin, calling it the hardest thing he'd ever done for a film. He later sold the 130 year old violin used in the movie for £73,528."
