For those interested in World War II dramas, "The Imitation Game" is a must-watch movie. Directed by Morten Tyldum, this film revolves around the life of British mathematician Alan Turing, played brilliantly by Benedict Cumberbatch. Turing, along with a team of codebreakers, works tirelessly to crack the Enigma code used by the Germans, ultimately making a significant contribution to the Allies' victory. "The Imitation Game" is a gripping portrayal of Turing's life and the immense challenges he faced both professionally and personally.

Apart from these recommendations, Netflix offers a plethora of other historical fiction movies such as "The Duchess," a period drama set in 18th-century England starring Keira Knightley, and "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society," which explores the aftermath of World War II on the island of Guernsey.
