I do like Outbreak, good pacing and tension, and Hoffman, Freeman and (you forgot) Donald Sutherland!! Directed by Wolfgang 'Das Boot' Petersen too!

Now, for a recommendation from me.

Waterloo (1970)

A collaboration between an Italian producer with a Soviet director, and my goodness is it a tour de force. It was said that with the 15,000 Soviet foot soldiers and 2,000 cavalrymen that director Sergei Bondarchuk was in command of the seventh largest army in the world at the time.

It stars Christopher Plummer is an enigmatic Wellington, and Rod Steiger as the best Napoleon Bonaparte I have ever seen. There are a few historical inaccuracies here and there, and a few events are skipped over or abridged, but generally speaking it's as accurate as they come, and with no CGI it's stunningly made.

If you have any interest at all in the Napoleonic wars, watch it.
