I tend to like Glory also but I have issues. What are the parameters for "accuracy". Shaw actually did die at the top not half way down. He cleared the crest of the works and was gunned down. Yes the fort was backwards . And when you watch the movie and see the burning tower in the background, there was a white regiment there, the 48th New York (my old reenacting unit). They held that area all night, continually requesting support. None came and the unit was withdrawn before dawn. As Shaw was buried with his men we suspect that the 'other' dead also were also interred as such. Between the two regiments there were 500 casualties.
"Gettysburg". Tom Berenger and that awful hat and beard. I think he is personally responsible for and the model for that piece of sculpture of Longstreet at Gettysburg. imho.
The Horse Soldiers. not totally accurate, but not bad.
