anyone know of any really good obscure civil war movies-that i may have not seen
I'd also recommend "Major Dundee," with Charleton Heston.
The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams (2007) is based on a true story. Also "The Colt" (2004), a story about a cavalry trooper of the 1st Michigan Cavalry whose mare foals a colt. The unit then drags it along with them thinking it is a good luck charm! Good entertainment, I would recommend them as they are good stories.
A Twilight Zone episode: "The Passerby".
It's considered a classic.I recommend "Friendly Persuasion," with Gary Cooper, Dorothy McGuire and Anthony Perkins. (1954) I don't know if qualifies as obscure or not, but it is a good film. Has a great story, is somewhat controversial, and has a wholesome moral lesson behind it.
The film is about a Southern Indiana quaker family that is trying to hold true to its pacifist principles in the middle of the ACW, which ends up encroaching upon them and challenges their virtues.
Anyway, I liked it so much that I bought it as a birthday present to myself a few weeks ago.
