Answers:
The entire story of the fall of Troy has never been historically proven outside of the fact that there was a city in Greece called Troy that fell for unknown reasons!. Homer's Iliad tells the whole story of the Trojan Horse, etc!. However, there was actually a Greek warrior named Achilles, and a few of the other characters in the movie [and book] were real Greeks!.
Gladiator accurately depicts Roman society and gladiators, however there are some flaws [ex!. Roman Generals generally didn't ride with the calvary or involve themselves in physical combat]!. The actual story of Maximus, however, is purely fiction!.
Alexander was probably the most historically accurate film [in my opinion it was also the worst]!. There were a few minor flaws [in the movie Alexander is said to have died from typhus, when he is really thought to have dies from typhoid]!. All in all the movie is pretty close to the facts!. Probably because Oliver Stone consulted an Oxford historian who is considered the most knowledgeable Alexander expert in existence!.!.!.
300 is another movie based on mythology!. There was actually a battle against a Persian army where 300 Spartans fought, but there were also over 1000 other Greeks fighting that battle!. A great movie, but not so historically accurate!.
Robin Hood is also a myth that originated in medieval times!. No one knows if he was based off an actual person or not!. So the only historical truth to any Robin Hood film is that they all are fairly true to the original myth!.
Braveheart was another movie that took a true event and fictionalized it to make it enjoyable to watch!. It is based on the real battle between the Scots and the English, and William Wallace was a real person, but much of the plot was fiction!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Braveheart i'm guessing, however I never saw it!.
ummm!.!.!.Troy also b/c, all the characters names were correct, their roles weren't entirely however, but the battle and base line(minus the love story) were historically accurate!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

None!. They all take many liberties with history!. Their entries in Wikipedia list these inaccuracies!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Impossible question to answer since none of us were alive back then to know what really happened!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
if you're talking very accurate, it's Gods and Generals!. But it made for a very dull movie!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
