love you lolI would make a movie about the battle of Franklin. A mini series about the siege of Vicksburg would be good.

Amen brother …Absolutely Franklin. You have everything you need to make a great movie. You have a desperate army trying one last time to win a war that is beginning to seem lost. Bravery, gallantry, and even a son who has not been home in three years dying on his family's lawn. Start off with Spring hill, climax with Franklin.
Good idea, I liked Field of Lost Shoes too, it was the main reason I finally (after years of talking about it) went to VMI to hear the roll call of the brave cadets that lost much more than their shoes in that battle. Has anyone watched Sons of Virginia?I'd love to see a big budget movie on New Market. I liked Field of Lost Shoes even though it was a "B" movie. Admittedly, it's one of my favorite stories within the story of the ACW.
I'd like to see any movie on the period that told the story from the Southern perspective.
They did that with God's-n-Generals, it didn't turn out so good.I'd like to see any movie on the period that told the story from the Southern perspective.

Yes it was. The marching bands and the parade was grand too.That had to be a truly inspirational experience.
I would like to be there to see and hear it all at least once. With so much negative going on today something so positive would really hit the spot.Yes it was. The marching bands and the parade was grand too.
I plan to return next year. Think about going.I would like to be there to see and hear it all at least once. With so much negative going on today something so positive would really hit the spot.
I grew up in Rusk county Texas, mostly in Overton. What, exactly, do you do in making movies. I v
e always had a desire to be a film maker.

May 15th, day of the battle. You'll have a grand time. Always wanted to visit WaynesboroWhat's the date? I've been planning a visit to Nelson County and Waynesboro for years – family connections. Maybe I could do it all in one trip.
Naval movie may be the cheapest but with $150 mil, Franklin or Port Hudson would be good.
Thanks.May 15th, day of the battle. You'll have a grand time. Always wanted to visit Waynesboro
Really like this idea. The 7th Illinois would be a good one as well. Donelson, Shiloh, Allatoona. Switching to the Henry repeaters.Pick any great regimental history: A Scythe of Fire (8th Georgia) or Last Full Measure (1st Minnesota) for example. Follow them, picking a number as your major characters, from enlistment, camp, wartime to the end of their service and postwar. Promote it like Saving Private Ryan, Gettysburg, Band of Brothers etc. BOOM!!!...hopefully.
