Last of the Mohicans (1992)

“Three trappers protect the daughters of a British Colonel in the midst of the French and Indian War.”

For me personally, this movie is a classic. I’ve heard there are some discrepancies in terms of historical accuracy, but we all live with those when it comes to Hollywood.

The Patriot (2000)
