Yup - except Glory should be number 1. Best representation of combat of any of them.

It was a great movie. But you can't judge a war film solely on the realism of its combat scenes. Most of the leftist-produced war movies out over the past few decades were highly realistic and graphic, yet were loaded with distortions and/or outright lies. Not saying this is the case with Glory, just generally speaking.

Agree with Glory at #1 - very well done. Incident at Owl Creek Bridge was also an Alfred Hitchcock Presents in 1959.

I really like GLORY but I love the scene in Gettysburg when “chamberlain” yells... BAYONETS

Glory was excellent along with Red Badge of Courage.
