Even tho not muskets, honorable mention to zulu and zulu dawn.
But for me it's easly the alam (2004) The noise, the effect, the brutality of it. (Alamo also has the best canistee effects ) |

I like the firing by the Union regiment in Huston's Red Badge of Courage. Their first volleys are scattered and halting. After a fight under their belts, the volleys are in unison. |

Khartoum. When the Ansar cavalry make their second rush on the Egyptian supply gathering column, silhouetted by the dawn light--but not in the Infantry's eyes--and Gordon (Chuck Heston, again!) gives the order at the perfect moment. A double, long solid line of Remington's crash as one, a
dead-on pause--and the entire front rank of the Mahdi's Own--horse and man--beats everyone else that day to Paradise. Enough to make one's day! (Though it just gets messy after that, with a lot of arguing about who-killed-who…). TVAG |

I said I gave honorable mention to zulu, specfying they are NOT MUSKETS! So any metal cartrige or beechloading weapons are out. Rifled muskets are cosher :) |

Do you REALLY think people here are going to actually read what you say and play by the rules? That's a pipe dream! 8)= |

And I would go with Little Round Top in Gettysburg as well. That is one exciting bit of filmmaking!! |

I'm going with the first volley of Glory, haven't sent any version of War and peace in awhile and wonder if they would have anything to mention |

Zulu
Gettysburg (Little Round Top)
The Man Who Would Be King
Waterloo (The British Guards)
Barry Lyndon (Best scene in the movie.)
Zulu Dawn (I don't want to be the guy driving wooden stakes into the ground!) The one in "Glory" (North Carolina) is weird. They fire as if they have repeating rifles. It never shows them reloading between volleys and they magically have fixed bayonets just in time for the melee. No orders given except charge. The scene at Antietam is pretty good. Although the main thing I remember is that guy getting his head blown off and how they leaned into the flying musket balls, like leaning into a head wind. |
shows one way to base 15mm figures on a stand.
