What battle do you want to see on film?

[ArmchairGeneral]

Kings Mountain and Cowpens.

These ought to work, since Last of the Mohicans and The Patriot were both hits.

Beat me to it, dang you. Ah, I know; how about Trafalgar? Also, I'm sure Waterloo has been covered, but I expect it's been a while, so that would be good too.

[ArmchairGeneral]

The Hunley vs the Housatonic, perhaps? Not much of an actual battle, but nonetheless a fascinating story.

I haven't seen anything about Trafalgar since i was a wee nipper and even then it was ancient. Ican't recall ever having seen a movie of Waterloo. I'd like a decent one on Chunuk Bair as well.

[ArmchairGeneral]

Any of the Scottish vs British battles would be good. Culloden, perhaps?

The best one wud be

Owain Glyndwr the last king of Wales defending north wales against then the largest Engllish army ever to be mobolised. Welsh were outnumbered 1:12, they still were defeated but they earned the respect fo the Englsih

[Trajan]

Battle of Sekigahara 1612, Japan

The Hunley vs the Housatonic, perhaps? Not much of an actual battle, but nonetheless a fascinating story.

That was done as a made-for-TV movie The Hunley, starring Armand Assante as Lt. George Dixon and Donald Sutherland as General P.G.T. Beauregard.

The words "Made-for-TV movie" usually elicit a groan from me, but apparently it won and was nominated for a couple of awards.

I saw a few minutes of it here and there. The scenes inside CSS Hunley were very good at portraying the cramped conditions.

Cooool, I'm off down to the indie video shop, her indoors will just have to play tetris on the computer tonight......

[Officer of Engineers]

It's amazing when you have a cast of 2 Soviet divisions ... yes, they actually had 20,000 men doing the battle in that movie.

I think I'm going to my video store also.

Damn, never seen(nor even heard) of that one!

I doubt very much Blockbuster has this though, is it worth buying?

Here's a trailer for the new flick "Flyboys."

[Canmoore]

Am i alone in thinking that the battle of Kapyong would make an amazing movie?
