Red Dawn was pretty accurate.

I would say that Toy Story is accurate, but then, I think the director made up a lot of the story line to promote prejudice against certain toy types.

Since Henry V the play is widely counted as a very accurate account of the events at the start of the Hundred year war, the movie is as well.
Braveheart is not historically accurate. Some of the major plot points are totally made up. It always killed me that they took the bridge out of the battle of Stirling bridge.
So, I've watched Thirteen Days and Gettysburg (the 1993 movie that's over 3 hours). I really liked them both. I plan on watching A Bridge Too Far pretty soon. I've started watching Manhunt by HBO. It's a documentary about looking for Bin Laden. Supposedly, it tells some of the truth that Zero Dark Thirty left out or changed for entertainment reasons.
If you want a good show that represents the south, I'm not sure Deliverance is the best. I'd suggest Squidbillies.
Ft Benning itself is a giant old shithole of a post, but there is a LOT of history there. I didn't know anything about that We Were Soldiers stuff either until one of the old guys bringing me a maintenance stand asked me if I knew it, then he took me through all of it. Pretty neat stuff.
