My favorite one is called 1864. Its a danish memorial tv show based on the war of 1864 against German confederacy and austria. To replace the context, remember that the 1860's are marked by a strong willing of the new prussian chancellor bismarck to unify the germans. For that, he enforce the unification of german cultural territories with wars : He takes slesvig from danemark in 1864; gains a lot of influence on the southern german states (bayern, bade etc) in a war against austria (1866) and finally takes alsace-lorraine from french second empire in 1870-1871. 

 

We have here the history of two brothers in this war, with a lot of histories, some drama. There is a lot of historical dialogues with importants characters like bismarck, the king of danemark, the queen victoria etc... And most important, there are battles, blackpowder, charges and epicness, be sure you'll love it. Its one of the most interessing black powder tv show ever done in my opinion.

It's a great film from the few scenes I have seen, but I've heard that it's heavily biased towards the Danish side

That's a shitty piece of Danish propaganda that should not be considered a 'historical movie'. It depicts the cowardice of the Danish government as the main reason Prussia won the war and makes the Prussian army to look like an unorganized rabble charging at the brave and disciplined Danes.

 

Meanwhile,in the real world,the Prussian army was the most disciplined European army of the time and absolutely steamrolled the inferior Danish army (similar to how the Germans will steamroll the Danes 70 years later in WW2).

 

My favorite war TV series are Band of Brothers and The Pacific. 

Favorite war movie is of course Saving Private Ryan.

Forest Gump is best war film ever made and it's not even close. It also teaches you many life lessons such as don't fall in love with a T H O T T because that hoe will get AIDs and leave you with a child. The movie also teaches you about the harsh realities and the affects of domestic abuse by parents, but it also shows the flip-side of a mother willing to sacrifice her own body to ensure her son can succeed academically, also shrimp.

You should really watch Generation War. It's a 3 episodes series of about 1h each.It is about the german side in the war.This show doesn't make them evil as many movies/series portray them.It shows them as average people fighting for their country and people.

This TV serie is yes in favor of danish memoria. But it can give another point of view than the one of the indestructible prussian army. I think its more complex than a david vs goliath.
