Gettysburg movie

I'm surprised this site is not used more! I check it every day, but there is little if no activity. Just watched the movie Gettysburg last eve (probably my 5th time, but it's been awhile) with a friend who has only ever seen it once. I pointed out some different things to him, talked history, etc. but since Civil War is not my real expertise (I seem to know a lot about 18th century stuff!!!!), I felt inadequate at times. However, it is certainly, in my opinion, one of the finest movies ever made. I seem to remember, though, several historians telling me that the battle scenes with Chamberlain on Little Round Top, really didn't happen that way. Comments??
