Gettysburg succeeds as a motion picture event, and as a re-creation of a pivotal chapter of American history.
Wins the day by giving a detailed account of the three-day battle (for the first time in a feature film), shot on the actual locations where the events took place. [Blu-ray]
Awesome telling of Civil War battle with stellar cast, set pieces.
Ought to be seen for Jeff Daniels' performance alone.

- Brigadier General Lewis A.Armistead: What does Col. Fremantle think? Will the British come in on our side?
- Brigadier General James L.Kemper: Oh, hell yeah, they'll come in - they'll come in when we don't need 'em no more. Just like some damn bank gonna loan you money when you no longer in debt.
