Four Feathers - Colonial - Sudan A cowardly british officer is shamed
by his friends into going to the Sudan and saving their lives. And of course, returning the feathers.
Some real good action.
Gettysburg -ACW Follows the battle pretty well. Good Battle
scenes
Gettysburg in Miniature - ACW Diorama Inspired me to paint more
ACW figures
Gunga Din -Colonial - India Good battle scenes and just
fun.
Lives of a Bengal Lancer -Colonial - NW Frontier
British Lancers are attempting to quell a revolt on the frontier. Not as corny as Gunga Din. Some
good "Day-in-the-life" stuff. Wild pig sticking, Torture, Explosions !
Major Dundee - Western Everything you need! US
Cavalry, Confederate Cavalry, Apaches, French Lancers, Women.
March or Die - Colonial - North Africa French Foreign Legion in
North Africa. Very good battle scenes.
Napoleon -Napoleonic Four full tapes, 12 hours long,
Silent Black & White. This one is a collector's dream. Very faithful with great
battles.
North & South - ACW Mini-series Good battles.
Pretty good historical accuracy.
Patton - WWII Inspirational.
You're not a real American until you've seen this one!
Pearl Harbor - WWII
There are a couple of good action sequences and maybe a scenario idea could be gotten.
Mostly its a love story. You could skip this one and not miss much.
Rough Riders -Spanish/American War
I don't care. I like the movie. Good lines. Good action scenes.
The Sand Pebbles -Colonial - China
A good gunboat diplomacy story. Steve McQueen rescues Candice Bergen from the mission at China Light during some troubles in China.
Good action scenes when the gunboat "San Pablo" attacks a boom accross the river.
Steve make good use of a BAR
Saving Private Ryan -WWII
Typical WWII storyline about a squad of US soldiers during the invasion of France. A lot of hype
was made over the special effects. If you want to see just what that 20mm flak gun will do to
men, this one is for you.
Shaka Zulu - Colonial - South Africa
A semi-narrative, five hour long, movie about Britain's first contact with the Zulus and Shaka's
war machine. A lot of good period dress and scenery information. Some attempt was made to
give the British a "Colonial" attitude towards the "savages" too.
The Thin Red Line -WWII
Awful, Awful, Awful !!! Don't waste your time or money.
This is one of those Hollywood "ART'sy" war films with dream sequences and lovey-dovey flashbacks which explore the inner feelings of the common man when placed in a war.
Slow and BORING !
Ulzana's Raid -Western Apaches jump the reservation. Good skirmish ideas.
Under Two Flags -Colonial - North Africa
Typical French Foreign Legion flick with a British aristocrat escaping his past.

sucks.

The Risule kidnaps Mrs Perdicarus and Teddy Roosevelt resolves to get her back. Good
action.
Zulu ! -Colonial - The Battle of Rorke's Drift Most of us have seen it
a
multitude of times. Good skirmish potential.

Little
touches, like the boy with the range sticks.

The Boxers attack the european Legations in Peking. Some good street fighting stuff.
300 Spartans -Ancient - Battle of Thermopyle King Lionidas and
his brave Spartans hold to the last man.
