One of my all time favorites is Sgt. Alvin York. The turkey shoot scene is awesome.
All camp, but I have fond memories of Wind Walker and Winterhawk
PBS back in the 70s did a movie on the first Indian to ride a horse in the Southwest
Don’t recall the name of the movie and only saw it that one time

Centennial. Barbara Carrera...Ohhhh.
I looked and on mine its on Starz through prime. Unfortunately I don't have that one.
I remember that one from when I was a kid
I'm current watching "1917". Ya, features Enfields - "unmentionables" - but a great period film nonetheless, if maybe a little late in "period" for this board.
How about Deadwood on HBO? Pretty coarse reality, but I don't think Deadwood in the 1870's was too gentile.

my suggestion is The Duellists (1977) with harvey keitel and keith carradine- set in the napoleonic wars
What? No one has listed Quigley Down Under with Tom Selleck? Along with a number of those others mentioned, I really enjoyed the shooting in this one.

I only thought the bear attack and the Indian attack were worth watching in the Revenant.
My favorites:
Ride with the Devil
Last of the Mohicans (DD)
Tombstone
Gods and Generals
The Patriot
Old Henry
North and South (tv)
The Field of Lost Shoes
blue and Grey (tv)
Horatio Hornblower series
I did enjoy Master and Commander, True Grit (orig) and the campy Crusoe.

I like "American Outlaws" Completely fictional, entertaining to lighten up and just watch the fun and action.
But I'm still a kid.

Wyatt Earp I think is a better story but Val Kilmer knocks it out of the park as Doc and open range is another great one and who doesn't like Broken Trail

I dislike the fact that literally every rifle/musket or pistol in the movie is a pedersoli frontier & brown bess, Kentucky pistol with the exception of Hugh glass’s rifle, which also had the barrel cut down to fit the movie. SMH

I haven’t seen anyone mention Man in the Wilderness. I believe Richard Harris playing the role of Hugh Glass character, but by a different name. Movies back then may not have been great at historical accuracy but they sure energized the passion for the front loaders. We won’t talk about the wobbly rubber tomahawks and such.
BurtLancaster in the Kentuckian was a fun one. I recall Lancaster shooting at Walter Mathow and missing, and trying to to load his rifle as Mathow charged across a swamp

It had historical inaccuracies, but it was a good movie.

I liked the John Wayne version better. I have heard the remake was a little closer to the novel. Still, both were good movies.I'm still on the fence about the remake of True Grit
