I got to meet the writer of We Were Soldiers and Braveheart, Randy Wallace. He was quite nice. He was selling his latest novel in 2004 in an autograph tent at the Longs Peak Highland Games in Estes Park, CO. Das Boot is also among my faves, too. TCM will be showing Gunga Din in the near future. You may want to keep your eyes peeled for it. Once Upon A Time in the West ranks up there for me.

[Greg C.]

gunga din is a classic british war movie that i always have to stop and watch when it is on. thanks for letting us know t-mac!

oh i forgot about that. very good western especially since it was made recently when all other 90's/00's westerns have been crap.

[alamo al]

I have many, but my all time fav is "The Thing From Another World" (1951). There are some Alamo connections with this movie. Dimitri Tiomkin, music, and Ken Tobey, Disney's Jim Bowie. Right now "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is on, another favorite.

As for Gettysburg; The director, screen writer, and producer of that film was Ron Maxwell. I went to HS with him, same scout troop, and he was a team manager on our undefeated state champ FB team, which I played on.

[Greg C.]

What ever happened to "Joan of Arc: Virgin Warrior"? It was a Maxwell film that was listed as in-production for more then a year. As far as I know now, it has been scrapped. Other then "Gettysburg", Maxwell's directing career has been pretty disastrous.

[alamo al]

He's had another successful project from a number of years ago. He had Gods and Generals, which was not the success fo G'burg.

Read my review on G & G, located in the Civil War section. I liked it at first but after maturing and realizing what good movies are, I had to tear it apart.
