The original 1960 John Wayne classic will forever be remembered as THE MOVIE.

Well, of course the Wayne movie was extremely inaccurate.

The attack took place at dawn. Houston told Travis NOT NOT NOT to hold the Alamo. There were no personal tensions of the type displayed between Bowie and Travis. Bowie wasn't wounded, he was very ill, it goes on and on.

Everything you posted is absolutely true, and I freely admit that "The Alamo" took some incredible liberties and told some tremendous whoppers when it comes to history. But, like "Armageddon" (another movie almost universally panned), I just like it.
