-Band of Brothers (WWII, not really a movie but still amazing)
-We Were Soldiers (Vietnam)
-Black Hawk Down (Somalia Conflict)
-The Great Gatsby (1920's US)

-A Bridge too Far (WWII)
-Schindlers List (WWII, Holocaust)
-Midway (WWII, Pacific Theater)

-Forrest Gump (Late 20th century culture)
-Apollo 13 (Space Race)

and numerous other movies, but as you can see there are tons and tons of movies with historical facts in them even though most of the stories are fictional or overly dramatized by hollywood, there is still significant historical information and is a great way to learn about the facts and be entertained at the same time.
