Some documentaries:

December 7th (1943) -- Directed by John Ford and Gregg Toland (cinematographer of Citizen Kane)

Pearl Harbor The View From Japan (1994) -- On December 7, 1941, explosions rocked Pearl Harbor and altered the course of history. Now, meet the man who executed the attack. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was a military genius who brought modern warfare into the aerial age. Although opposed to attacking the United States and "awakening the sleeping giant," Admiral Yamamoto dedicated his life to the battle that devastated U.S. morale and forced America into World War II.

In an interesting historical departure, this fascinating documentary analyzes the attack on Pearl Harbor from the Japanese point of view and focuses on Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the Japanese military mastermind who (though bitterly opposed) planned the attack on the U.S. fleet anchored in Hawaii. If history is written by the victors, this view of the events of December 7, 1941, fills an important gap in the historical narrative of World War II.

A day late but just saw this article

Pearl Harbor onscreen (US Naval Institute)

One I'd like to see (never heard of it before):

quote:

I BOMBED PEARL HARBOR (1960) - Originally released in Japan as "Hawaii-Midway Battle of the Sea and Sky: Storm in the Pacific Ocean", the film was given the more sensational (and more succinct) title "I Bombed Pearl Harbor" for the U.S. market. A rare film presenting the Japanese point view of WWII, it portrays a Japanese aviator who experiences the euphoria of victory following the attack on Pearl Harbor only to lose his nationalistic fervor when Japan suffers a crushing defeat at the Battle of Midway.
