Maybe not a truly great movie but I thought Northwest Passage with Spencer Tracy was good as well as the recent The Crossing with Jeff Daniels as George Washington.

NW Passage - centered on era of French & Indian.

The Crossing - not a real movie (just TV docudrama).

The trouble with Northwest Passage is that it is a book by Kenneth Roberts, popular mid century historical writer, whose Arundel trilogy had Benedict Arnold as its hero. Another novel Oliver Wiswell had a Tory as its central character.
