The Green Berets (1968)
The Green Berets is a Vietnam War film based on a book written by Robin Moore in 1965. John Wayne stars in it as an anti-Communist, pro-Vietnam War soldier. In those days, there were strong anti-Vietnam War sentiments. This was the reason POTUS Lyndon B. Johnson granted the team the full cooperation of the American military. Despite this, the movie was riddled with historical inaccuracies. A lot of critics said that the film wanted to portray a complex war using a “cowboys and Indians” format.

Flyboys (2006)
The World War I film Flyboys follows young men who train to be fighter pilots and join the French aerial dogfights. All of the characters were base on real men from the Lafayette Flying Corps squadron, although the equipment and military tactics are not accurate. For one thing, the aircraft used for the film were not around when the Great War was raging. Not just that, but the planes were painted red to distinguish them from background planes. There was no way such a thing happened in real life!
