  • Alamo Movie

    This is a very good movie and played along with the historical narrative. I would recomend readign the book 13 Days of Glory a very well written and best historical account there is.

  • The Alamo

    Great movie with lots of old time movie stars. Based on the battle in Texas against Santa Anna's Mexican troops for freedom from Mexico. Historic figures Davey Crocket and Jim Bowie were one of the many that died defending the Alamo. Highly recommended.

  • The Alamo, a retelling of the epic battle for Texas independence.

    It is said that John Wayne spent 3 or more decades trying to get this film made. Although not entirely factual, the film is entertaining. A nice addition to any John Wayne fan, or Alamo aficionado's collection.

  • Very good movie!

    It’s a good classic movie! It was filmed at the sight in Bracketville Texas. I went there and seen a wall that he and the other actors autographed. It was pretty neat! That replica of the Alamo there, is more authentic then the real one !

  • One of the earliest battles in freedom of the US. Title says it all.

    This was one of the best Dukes movies and the price was exceptional.

  • One of John Wayne's best

    All in all, a movie very worthy of a spot on your shelf. Give no concern to the lack of historical accuracy in regards to the battle itself. Also, the battle took place in 1836....... you may have noted cigars being lit with strike anywhere matches....... invented 62 years later.
