The one by Roland Emmerich.

The dialogue is horrendous and the effects are passable at best, but it got way more of the actual history right than it probably should have. Someone involved had clearly been reading Shattered Sword, and it shows.

Hell, after thinking about it for a bit, I think I like it better than the one from the '70s. That one was a cacophony of stock footage that didn't match up, and it perpetrated Fuchida's myths about the battle.
