Or more precisely as many films (and TV shows) as I can find (excluding documentaries) about, set or with characters shaped by the civil war. Despite the title of this list it contains not only the good films, but the bad and several downright ugly ones as well!

1-73 Films seen which are set wholly or mostly during the civil war and where it plays an important part in the story being told.

74-143 Films seen which are completely set within the civil war era. These may be partially or completely set during the civil war itself but where the war is not really an important part of the story. Other films set in the post-war period include solid references to the war or have major characters who are veterans of the war.

144-157 Films seen which have flashback scenes set during the war or important references to it, but where the film as a whole is not actually set during the civil war era.

158+ Films not yet seen or which I don't recall seeing but otherwise match one of the three categories above. My intention, if possible, is to watch all of these as well.

Within each of the first three categories, the films are loosely ordered with my favourites first. The final category is ordered by year with the most recent films first.

Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind (1939)

Just a boatload of 00's movies. (100+ Votes) I highly suggest using the 'Refine' option. Happy Movie Hunting!  :)
