Civil War movies
 

Yeah..I have to watch a Civil War movie for history. I know it can't be "Glory" because that's already taken. Anyone know of some good movies or documentaries?

Gettysburg?

Hmm, I think that's taken too.

Though I haven't seen it, the film "Ride with the Devil" made in '99 sounded rather interesting...

"Jake Roedel and Jack Bull Chiles are friends in Missouri when the Civil War starts. Women and Blacks know their place. Jack Bull's dad is killed by Union soldiers, so the young men join the Bushwhackers, irregulars loyal to the South. One is a Black man, Daniel Holt, beholden to the man who bought his freedom. They skirmish then spend long hours hiding. Sue Lee, a young widow, brings them food. She and Jack Bull become lovers, and when he's grievously wounded, Jake escorts her south to a safe farm. The Bushwhackers, led by men set on revenge, make a raid into Kansas. At 19, Jake is ill at ease with war. As his friends die one after another, he must decide where honor lies."

Might see the Civil War from another angle...

Gettysburg is an excellent movie. I recommend it if no other person has taken it.

I'll see tommorow what's taken.
