Tora! Tora! Tora! 
Main Actor(s)/Actresses: Martin Balsam, So Yamamura
Memorable supporting cast: Tatsuya Mihashi, James Whitmore
Plot: This is a fairly accurate account of the events leading up to and the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. It starts with the decision by the Japanese to plan and implement the attack to the Americans deciphering the Japanese secret codes. Then the mistakes the Americans made with the information.
Extra thoughts: This film is very well done and I recommend this movie very highly. It will teach you some history. So, if you want to see a historically accurate movie on the events of Pearl Harbor rent or buy Tora! Tora! Tora!, but do not see the 2001 movie called Pearl Harbor.
Director: Richard Fleischer, Kinji Fukasaku and Toshio Masuda
