Watch movies with an emphasis on historic accurate depictions of battle tactics and analyze them.

Gladiator has a very neat scene at the beginning, when \*spoiler alert\* Maximus goes against a horde of Germanic tribesmen. Or take Das Boot about a German WW2 submarine, where the movie was based on the book written by a WW2 submarine veteran. It can't get more realistic. I haven't seen it yet, but Tom Hanks movie about the Battle of the Atlantic is also said to be fairly realistic. So, you get both sides in one.

The battle scenes in war movies are often relatively short and make up 5-10% of the entire movie. You can cut them out and see what how and why things are done/depicted the way they are. In extension, don't forget the other scenes besides the battlefield. Psychology and motivation are most important for how successful different tactics are.

A counter example for a really lousy/unrealistic movie would Red Tails by George Lucas, because the planes do maneuvers in the movie that are physically impossible in reality. Or Fury with Brad Pitt, where most of the movie is well done, but in the decisive confrontation, they used an element that was not possible back then.

Your goal would be to learn how and where to detect in war movies (perhaps also martial arts movies) the realistic parts and where they cheated for the sake of the story telling - this before reading or listening to [expert opinions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kcRTNBgqGc) about how realistic a specific war movie was. Perhaps, you could even start your own channel or blog on that topic.
