Here’s my 12:
French & Indian War: THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS
The Revolution: DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK
The War of 1812: TEN GENTLEMEN FROM WEST POINT
Texan Independence: THE ALAMO (John Wayne version)
Pre-Civil War: ABE LINCOLN IN ILLINOIS
Civil War: GETTYSBURG
Indian Wars: THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON
Spanish-American War: STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER
WWI: SERGEANT YORK
The Depression: WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD
WWII: THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO
The Cold War: I WAS A COMMUNIST FOR THE FBI
Any questions?
“Civil War: GETTYSBURG”
The prequel, Gods and Generals, was very good also, but the Northern critics panned it. They just hated seeing Lee and Jackson stomp the hell out of Federal forces while being vastly outnumbered. Robert Duvall made a much better Lee than Martin Sheen. At 2:54 of the clip see the flag of the great State of North Carolina, where my GG Grandpa served with the 15 NC Infantry. He survived the war, passing away in 1921. Deo Vindice.
