Easily the best Civil War movie ever made, IMO. The film focuses on the first all volunteer African-American unit to serve in the Civil War. You can just imagine the amount of great plot material that can come from that. Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Andre Braugher. Great actors. My only beef with this movie is the casting of Matthew Broderick as Col Shaw. Really difficult for me to see him as anything but a goofy rick kid skipping school. Not his fault, I know, but I didn't find him very believable. Probably more about my view of him than his performance. This movie won 3 oscars...one for Denzel for best supporting, another for it's absolutely spectacular cinematography and a third for sound. If you haven't seen it, do it!

Saw this on TV a few weeks ago for the first time. And I had already made my war category pick. But it occured to me that if I hadn't, this would have been a film to watch for in a later round. Very impressed with it.
