Good pick. I really like the Duellists but Waterloo does capture the fighting and feel of the wars. |

Do you like a mass battle or a small skirmish! |

Maybe 'The Duelists' was so good because Scott did not have any battle scenes in it. |

Bondarchuk's 1960s War and Peace series was epic, with amazing battle scenes. Still available on DVD at over six hours in length! |

If anything the movie Napoleon has increased Waterloo's favorably |

Great Choice. "Waterloo" could use a re-release in theaters. I am not sure there is enough footage for a director's cut but a remastered IMAX version would be great. My appreciation of this movie has only grown. |

Despite the inevitable omissions and compressions [unless you WANT a film ten hours long] its stood the test of time. There was a spate of historical movies at about that time but it all fell out of fashion a bit |
