I love the movie, "The Patriot." It's fictional but it is placed within realistic events of the Revolutionary War. I also like the movie "Glory," which is fiction as well but takes place during the Civil War.



A plot summary for "The Patriot" from imdb.com:

After proving himself on the field of battle in the French and Indian War, Benjamin Martin wants nothing more to do with such things, preferring the simple life of a farmer. But when his son Gabriel enlists in the army to defend their new nation, America, against the British, Benjamin reluctantly returns to his old life to protect his son, now serving under his command, and his family from British tyranny



A plot summary for "Glory" from imdb.com:

Based on the letters of Colonel Robert G. Shaw. Shaw was an officer in the Federal Army during the American Civil War who volunteered to lead the first company of black soldiers. Shaw was forced to deal with the prejudices of both the enemy (who had orders to kill commanding officers of blacks), and of his own fellow officers
