Who are some other historic figures you would like to see get the big epic treatment?
I'd say we are overdue for a serious Custer movie. The 1990 miniseries "Son of the Morning Star" was phenomenal, but a huge movie would be way better.
A more obscure figure who's life would definitely merit a movie was Alexander William Doniphan, who led a ragtag army of Missourian volunteers to Mexico in the Mexican-American War. His force consisted of a couple of hundred poorly-equipped backwoodsmen who defeated several huge Mexican armies AND the Navajo tribe with minimal casualties, and engaged in the longest military march since the Anabasis of the Ancient Greek era. I find it honestly surprising that Hollywood never tackled this story back in the '50s or '60s.
