History in Film

The intention here is to construct a timeline of historically relevant films. The two major types of these films are defined as follows:
Documentary - A documentary is a work in a visual or auditory medium presenting political, scientific, social, or historical subjects in a factual and informative manner.
Historical Fiction - Historical fiction may center on historical or on fictional characters, but usually represents an honest attempt based on considerable research (or at least serious reading) to tell a story set in the historical past as understood by the author's contemporaries. Those historical settings may not stand up to the enhanced knowledge of later historians.

By contrast, this list is not intended to include period fiction, in which historical setting has little to nothing to do with the events of the subject. Examples of this would be A Very Long Engagement,
The Last Samurai, Gangs of New York. The main character should probably appear somewhere in an encyclopedia, if the event is real.

As a starter, I used this thread and this one and got a few entries together.

Please add your favorite historically referential films and I’ll update the timeline until I don’t feel like it any more.

Info needed:
Title (Release Date)
Event (American Civil War, Truman Capote biopic, etc)
Country/Location of the event
Dates covered (at least a start date)
