I pretty much only like 3 types of movies:
Action, Comedy, and Animation.
What is your opinion of Historical Action?
See: Tora! Tora! Tora! (Movie about Pearl Harbor that has excellent practical effects throughout and is accurate enough one could almost call it a documentary)
Two movies you might enjoy.
"Master And Commander : The Far Side of the World" is historically accurate throughout. I liked that the film makers didn't shy away from the brutality of the Captain.
"Waterloo" is more fictionalized, but the battle scenes are spot on. Back in the day, the USSR trained thousands of Red Army troops in authentic cavalry, artillery, and infantry tactics for 'War And Peace.' Hollywood used those troops, and built an outdoor set that included three miles of road.

I do like Master and Commander. Will have to give Waterloo a watch. Thank you. :)
Enjoy!
If they got gun fights, explosions, car chases, or fist fights I'm in. Of course most war movies and westerns fit. But stuff like Pearl Habour, Enemy at the Gates, Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down and not things like Hunt for the Red October or U-571. I think the only kind of war movie about subs I like is McHale's Navy... Which is a comedy. 🤣
No horror?
Good Horror is basically action+comedy in one. Though I'm not sure the comedy is intentional. 🤔
What about the Orphanage?
Interesting take
