Gettysburg

This is the best Civil War movie ever made. An all star cast lead this explosive movie, depicting the famous battle of Gettysburg. Every history buff, and anyone interested in the movie will be well satisfied. Picketts charge made me want to weep for the Confederate soldiers, and you will enjoy this movie too, despite the four hours that it is.

Gettysburg is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time. To the Englishman who suggested that only Americans would like this movie and expressed his disdain for American nationalism, I suggest you watch the following movies: Braveheart, The Patriot, and In the Name of the Father. I bet you will really enjoy those movies. While you're at it, you may want to watch Patton, the movie regarding the American General that rescued Europe from Nazi rule. As for Gettysburg, this movie really brought the battle alive for me. I especially enjoyed the performances of Stephen Lang as Pickett, Richard Jordan as Armistead, and Kevin Conway as Kilrain. Stephen Lang's response to Sheen (General Lee) toward the end of Pickett's unsuccessful charge, was wonderfully delivered, such that it brings tears to my eyes whenever I watch that scene.
