Midway without Chuck Heston and love story crap was really pretty good. Saw it when it came out. Whole fraternity turned out. We cheered like maniacs when we blew up the Jap carriers.
Old man was in the Pacific with the Seabees.
Another really good one is the FIRST PART ONLY of Gladiator with the Romans wiping out the Germans. A little showy but it shows the Roman war machine as it was during that time period. They really were the U.S. army of that period.
Hard to find but look it up on youtube is Waterloo. Using the Russian army and not caring if they got killed for real makes this one a must see. The aerial views of the British squares are fantastic.
Plummer is a great Wellington. All the classic lines from Nap. and Wellington are included. Just the shear scale is amazing considering no computer enhancement.
Zulu Dawn is another good one.
Not as accurate but I always will love Zulu.
The Patriot has some major problems, like pistols that are accurate at a ridiculous range, but the line up and shoot aspect of the first battle is pretty good. I know the siege cannons are not right but it does get some of it right.
Have fun.
