These are great movies, don't get me wrong. I show Tora!Tora!Tora! to my students every December 7 when school is in session. I am surprised that Doctor Zhivago is not on your list - it is a sweeping epic of Russian history. Others for your consideration:
The Song of Bernadette
Ben-Hur
Quo Vadis
Dances with Wolves
Amadeus
Granted, some of these are part fiction, but movies like Amadeus spurred a whole new interest in Mozart. Even though I am not a big Cruise fan, the Last Samurai was pretty darn good, considering.
I understand your dilemma - it is rather a pleasant one to be in, having to make choices about good movies.
