TROOPS is still funny all these years later.

It´s one of the best. I always liked ¨The Apprentice,¨ too. The one with Darth Maul.

 

[TallTallMan]

I am feeling morbidly curious about these films, but my inner buff is telling me not to watch them due to their inaccuracies...

Inaccuracies? Whatever could you mean?

Also @RedRover @Polloco and @7thWisconsin who I assume is enjoying this roast.

Well, here are what I could find (I spent all morning looking for this so you'd better like it):

This is a Confederate private, Kris Kringle:

Dark denim jeans with brown leather belt:

Big guy with time-inappropriate glasses, and he's about 16:

Here's a doozy: a hearing aid (for a closer look go to Kill Calvary at 17:10.)

The funniest so far is a Confederate Monument and some crossing signs. Apparently there was a time traveler who built it a year before the battle ended.

And finally binoculars of 2000s Wal-Mart toy section origin:

Or a psychic.

"The energies are strong in this place… much death… much bloodshed… Yes. My guides are telling me there will be a great battle here… many will fall… Ah, let's get started on the monument. We can chisel in if it was a win or a loss later."

It's actually worse ! He's got the binoculars backwards.

My gosh I didn't even notice. Was that a subtle joke from the not-so-subtle director?

I beg to differ, it's either a Confederate ghost or a Confederate sentry who froze to death (unfunny).

Guess they built a gate around him. Maybe he's still there and we can chip him out like Captain America.

I just noticed something on the A Rebel Born thumbnail:

 

[LtTevis]

I sat through Hamptons Legion.
Agree, it was a terrible movie. However, I think it was good at highlighting the story of the Confederate nursing system.
In particular, the actress playing the Head nurse loosely portrayed the story of Sally Louisa Tompkins (November 9, 1833 – July 25, 1916).
I've been a student if Civil War history for decades, but that was the first I'd heard of the Confederacy appointing Tompkins as a Captain in the Army in order to continue operating her successful hospital.

The only one I tried was Kill Calvary and got bored.

Hampton's Legion has the worst Antietam scene ever. Guys marching and shooting while Wade stares out with Wal-Mart binocs.

What's funny is that it's Fall in the battle:

But not when Wade's on screen:

I feel like being mean...

Contract of Evil from '04 is the GOAT.

 

[east_beast]

ANY movie made by this company (and there are TOO many!) are not worth anymore time either mentioning or watching, than I spent in typing this response.
They are offensive to the acting and film makng proffessions.

Not gonna lie, I kinda wanna watch it after seeing the trailer. It's gotta be hilariously awful.

The sole Black Confederate soldier in film history.

 

[Bentonville]

Looks like they dragged Edmund Ruffin from the grave, look at that hair...

I like his beard. Looks like his chest hair is making a rapid forward movement to strangle him.

Yeah - that´s quite well done and very lovingly made. Darth Maul, over the entire course of The Clone Wars and Rebels ended up with a very good storyline.

I think it was an awful mistake resurrecting him, personally. But its past the point of no return now!

Here's a couple of his I missed:

Storm Over Georgia:

and American Confederate:
