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

Or when Brig. General Buford growls through his clenched teeth “...we will deny the enemy the high ground!” Sam Elliott rocks! How ‘Gettysburg’ is not in the top 5 is beyond me...it should be swapped with ‘Gone With the Wind’ which is little more than a soap opera set during the war, IMHO.

My favorite scene in Gettysburg is the Lee-Stuart confrontation.

The participants move from living in the 18th Century to living in the 20th over about 70 seconds.

Very well done.

I agree with you except my favorite line is during the the early morning scene on July 2, where Longstreet and Col. Freemantle talk, Longstreet said almost as a side note "we should have freeded the slaves, then fired on Fort Sumpter".

How true.
