I can name a few more-
Roughriders (TNT movie- the uniforms and equipment were great, and the
story was pretty good, if not completely accurate :)
ANZACS (An old flick with every American's favorite ozzie- Paul
Hogan. I loved the characters and thought the uniforms
and equipment were first rate- and the tactics looked
rather
accurate and kept up with the changes in technology. The
'love'
story was kinda disjointed, but hey- they covered '14-18 in
about 3 hours, so something has to loose ;)
The Light Horsemen (Okay, so I like flicks about Australia in WWI ;)
A good flick too with a decent story- and the
cavarly charge in the end was very cool!)
Battleground (A WWII flick set in the REAL Battle of the Bulge and
revolves around a single squad of glidermen. There
really wasn't much fighting in the movie, but it hit
me
as being really accurate- all of the marching around,
digging in, and a few short and sharp fights. The
characters were really good and you grew to like them
as
people as the movie went on. Not a bad flick at all)
