The Crossing Part 1 (you will have to see it in parts).
George Washington and the Continental Army of America crossing the Delaware River on Christmas Day, and the Battle of Trenton on December 26th, 1776, during the Revolutionary War.
Good movie but inaccurate (the British did not lock people in churches and set them afire - they took Nazi atrocities and had those be Redcoat atrocities) and fictionalized war with fictionalized characters. Also, Gibson's character was not a patriot but a revenge seeker. His son was the patriot who was killed which set off Gibson's character in the classic Mel Gibson crazy killer mode. Same plot as Braveheart, really.

Geez Louise. You ever just sit back and enjoy a movie?

I mentioned this was the most accurate movie related to the Revolutionary War. I think the Adams miniseries were pretty accurate also. That was the criteria I used. Accuracy. There are plenty of entertaining but inaccurate movies out there - just not the criteria I was using.
