Historically inaccurate films?

INVICTUS: made me cringe with its Hollywoodized version of the events leading up to, during and after the 1995 Rugby World Cup tournament. It made a nonsense of the post apartheid social cohesion success which was that tournament.

RUSH: the biopic of Formula I racers Niki Lauda and James Hunt. Great performances by Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth aside, the film portrays them as mortal enemies when they were actually friends off the track, more like brothers really.

THE ALAMO (1960) Indy informed me that this film is almost totally historically inaccurate and that the 2004 version is way superior in terms of accuracy. I have seen both and I agree.

ELIZABETH (1998) contained numerous historical inaccuracies, most notably that Sir Robert Dudley was involved in a Catholic plot to kill Elizabeth early in her reign and was banished from her presence permanently thereafter.  He actually was never named in such a plot, and he remained a loyal supporter and close advisor until his death many years later.

Oh man, I feel like I see these all the time. Next time I catch one that I'm sure about I'll post it here.

(I did watch THE BRIDE! last night and there are several historical inaccuracies in that which I suspect are 100% intentional.  )
