What could possibly out do the sheer drama of the greatest crisis this country ever faced? Gettysburg is an excellent film, magnificent in scope, filled with truly great performances (did you ever see Jeff Daniels any better than this?). Just a few flaws: the battles scenes were quite good, but I've seen better, and the film occasionally takes its own historical importance too seriously. Still, a good film, and I can't complain too much, I own a copy. Look fast during Picket's Charge to see Ted Turner as a Condeferate and Ken Burns as a Yankee.
