The most annoying and inaccurate movie I can think of is "Saving Private Ryan". As with most movies nowdays, special effects provides cover for content.

I hope you can agree Staff Sergeant, that from a reality standpoint, that movie is horrendous.

NCIS, Don't get me wrong I like catching a few episodes but they really Hollywood it up with large screen LCD monitors, war room like presentations and when they added New Orleans NCIS just how many stories can you do for a reserve area?

I like NCIS but it does raise some questions. In NCIS N.O. the boss has an apartment upstairs Where he lives. He also owns and runs a bar. My larger concern is that the agents from all the NCIS shows work the civilian suspects like they were regular cops. They walk into a building, with no warrant and take files and question people.

'Zulu' movie of the British in Southern Africa and its portrayal of Henry Hook VC:
"In the film Zulu he was portrayed as a drunken malingerer who became a reluctant hero.
But while Hollywood was right to show Private Henry Hook as a hero, the rest of his screen depiction was fiction.
In reality Private Hook was a teetotal lay preacher who had been awarded good conduct pay shortly before the battle that led to him winning the Victoria Cross."

The battle to rehabilitate Zulu's Henry Hook after film portrayed him as drunken malingerer
In the film Zulu Private Hook was portrayed as a drunken malingerer who became a reluctant hero. Now his reputation is being restored by campaigners.

This is going to piss everyone off, but I absolutely HATE "Saving Private Ryan". Fakest movie of all time! Take my word for it, if the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff orders a mission it would have more than a squad without a radio. Not to mention if you're CPT. Tom Hanks and you get this mission, you're bypassing that machinegun nest, after you radio in its position and you're grabbing PVT Matt Damon and leaving the Airborne at the bridge.

Not all movies hire a military advisor so the costume designers have to do the research on their own. They usually end up going for something that looks cool to them regardless if it's right or not.

I can forgive the Expendables, they were not an actual military but mercenaries, and they were honoring the manly kill 'em all movies of the 80's

I do agree with authenticity, but sometimes it is hard to get vehicles and aircraft 100% accurate. Blacksheep Squadron didn't use Japanese Zeros but instead modified trainers.
