Need more American Revolutionary War films like The Patriot.

Watch Turn: Washington's Spies until the next movie comes out.

One of my top 5-10 favorite movies of all time.



Love that movie.

and like another poster said. Very different, but Turn: Washington's Spies is a very good series on Netflix.

More WW1 movies as well

Why won’t HW, which on the whole hates white males, not make movies about white males establishing a country in a way they completely are in opposition to?

I’m sure there are scripts that tell the stories of how female slaves were actually the ones on the battlefield and writing the Declaration of Independence. Give them time.

There are quite a few pertinent and interesting stories that have gone largely ignored because they portray our founding fathers in a bad light.
For that very reason I feel like Hollywood would green light some of them.
Then the question becomes are the American people ready to have the humanity and integrity of their revered founders called in to question.

The only Revolutionary War movie I've ever liked was 1776. Mr. Feeny was incredible as John Adams.

That's an AMC show, that made it to Netflix.

I felt the movie was too over the top

As much as I wanted to like The Patriot, it’s just not good. It is too cliched, over the top, and just silly.

The John Adams series that HBO did with Paul Giamatti is my favorite thing on the revolution.

They could make an accurate movie about the Revolution in South Carolina, and it would be just as violent and "uncivilized" as The Patriot.
