What are your favorite Civil War movies?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm real interested in the American Civil War. I have a photographic memory. I can remember names, locations, times, dates, etc.
My favorite Civil War movies are:
1. Gettysburg
2. Andersonville
3. Gods and Generals
4. Blue and the Gray
5. Birth of a Nation
6. Glory

Glory is my favorite! My history class in 9th grade went to see it on a field trip.
They had someone come in with civil war relics rifles,uniforms etc.
The really cool thing is my school was part of the underground railroad!
The tunnels ran from the high school to all the other buildings on the property and then to the house down the street.

My top 7 films dealing with the American Civil War. (there are only seven I can recall)

7. Cold Mountain
6. The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly (ranked so low b/c only part of it deals with the war)
5. How The West Was Won (again only part, but at least it was more direct)
4. Birth Of A Nation
3. The General
2. Gone With The Wind
1. Glory

Honorable Mention: Ken Burn's Civil War for the best ACW documentary

The Day Lincoln Was Shot

The Conspirator (More Post-Civil War, but indisputably tied to the war.)

Dances With Wolves (More of a western, but during the Civil War.)
