According to the Times, U-571 holds that honor.

My kids spotted the issue with the Live Aid concert immediately: you can watch the real thing, which is objectively better.
Why would I want to watch a replica of that moment when I can see the actual moment?

The second most inaccurate historical film ever. TIL.

I can't knock that. Queen is awesome and my age, to a degree, is showing. I was born in the 70s and grew up with music like this. When I had kids, I made sure to raise them on the classics so that by the time this movie came out, they were already fans.
I totally get why you'd be defensive about something that turned you on to great stuff like this.
