    Voted Gettysburg, simply for the fact that it accomplished the feat of showing the entire battle from start to finish. It really provides a different experience from all the other movies on the list that follow characters or units around from battle to battle. Gettysburg is a unique experience and the flow and drama of the movie is genuine, like how you see the Union react after defending Little Round Top and then you see the Confederates trying to recover from their defeat.

    Great observation here. They really stayed on script start to finish with the battle. I love Sam Elliott securing the "high ground" for the Union.
