GDG- Movies

[John Baniszewski]

In addition to the good movies, I also like the comiclly bad ones, the ones that make GAG look like a documentary.
   
  "They died with their boots on" is a classic.  My favorite scene is where Winfield Scott is in the telegraph office in Washington, commanding the Union Army at Gettysburg, and his realization that only the three cavalry regiments under Custer can save Washington from being captured.
   
  I just saw the "Sante Fe Trail".  I liked the West Point graduation scene, where classmates JEB Stuart, George Thomas, James Longstreet, and George Custer got together for the last time.  I also liked the mounted cavalry charge  by 400 men at Harper's Ferry against the building in which John Brown and his 200 men were defeated, just an hour before Brown's force of 1,200 reinforcements from Pennsylvania arrived. 
   
  Who says you can't learn nothin' by seein' movies?  Who needs history books when you got Hollywood?
