Which movies would you love to see in the movie room at a wargaming show or convention? |

All the ones that Belle and Blade only show snippets of.
They do a lot of foreign extravaganzas like the Polish The Deluge. Or maybe Ridley Scott's The Duelists. Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. All of Ioan Gryffud's Hornblower series. |

At multi media shows there are now four video rooms. One for Anime, one TV or Dr Who and two for movies.
I have seen a wide range of movies at shows. Hard to list just a few. Those I listed would be personal favorites rather than based on commonality. |

I'll watch movies at home and game at conventions… But sometimes it's fun to watch movies with an all-wargamer audience!  |

During an FoW mega-game,the store owner and GM for the game, put on the DVD of "A Bridge Too Far" (since we were doing Market Garden/Bridge By Bridge). Another dude,for his Gettysburg Soldiers Ft. Wagner battle,had on "Glory",another time The Duke's Alamo movie,and yet another "The Horse Soldiers". For laughs,I wouldn't mind seeing "Advance To the Rear". |
