The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936)
Errol Flynn is Maj. Geoffrey Vickers, a British officer who leads a famous counter attack in India.
This is a poor man's Gunga Din, and not very faithful to history or the poem by Lord Alfred Tennyson.
It's got visuals that seem authentic: palaces, forts, vistas, horses and nice costumes.
It's also got the gorgeous Olivia de Havilland, who starred with Flynn in several Warner Brothers classics.
I'm glad I saw this, but I don't need to see it again.

SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON (1949)
This is a great movie, and a showcase for John Wayne.
He plays Captain Nathan Brittles, commander of a U.S. Calvary troop, post-Custer's Last Stand.
This is a very manly movie and Wayne plays his role to the hilt.
There's a sub-plot of romance between two soldiers and a girl who wears a yellow ribbon in her hair.
The cinematography is great, showing Monument Valley in all it's glory.
I'd never seen this one before, and it gets high marks. Nice little military movie. (with more Indians!)
