Other than the very obviously fake beard on General Longstreet, as well as Martin Sheen making General Lee look like an escapee from the psycho ward, Gettysburg is actually a good movie, believe it or not. It's a good adaptation of The Killer Angels. The soundtrack is also excellent.

The Longest Day is also a good movie, I think. The English, French, German and American segments were respectively directed by English, French, German and American directors. Actually, the German segments were the best. I liked Pluskat and his dog.

And the German segments were spoken in German with english sub-titles. Contrast that with Midway where the Japanese scenes were done in perfect english. Not even a Japanese accent! Funny really.
