I look at Washington's dignified leadership, his willingness to tell hard truths, his humility. Let him be our model.

I.Love.This, my teacher (I’m in 6th grade) put this movie on for us in class but the bell ringed before we could finish it. So she told us to watch this for homework. The first time I actually want to do my homework 😅

“Nobody hates the British like a Dutch Merchant”-George Washington 😅

George Washington was a badass....plain and simple

Somewhere in that mob is Pvt. William Spencer, thank you Sir for a legacy that has driven our family to serve since!

One of the best movies on the Revolutionary war ever!

As a child I didn't really understand what George Washington was all about other than he had a wooden tooth, he chopped down the cherry tree, he was on a nickel and $1 bill and is famous for its "I cannot tell a lie". This movie along with others (thank you KZfaq by the way) Has open my eyes to a wonderful man, a wonderful General, a wonderful human being... President George Washington

One of the few films that shows the strain Washington was under to keep the army together and fighting

Washington is truly our greatest President.

i love how colonel is just slowly getting ready while an battle is comensing right outside, like he had nothing better to do

The only “Christmas” movie I look forward to watching every year. Thanks for the upload!

1:23:43 Washington has been fighting for months outmanned and outgunned, and not only did he manage a victory, he managed it with no casualties to his side. Even to a modern officer with the advantage flipped in their favor, that's unusually good fortune. For Washington it would have been mind-blowing.

One of the best Revolutionary War movies that hardly anyone has seen haha

Tonight’s the night. Let all Americans remember and be thankful!

Awesome. Too bad we can’t have General Washington back in the nation’s capital.

I watch this every Christmas!

I really enjoy this movie and watch it each Christmas!

Dear Heavenly Father, help us keep this nation, that was bought and paid for by these mens blood and sacrifice.

Looks & sounds pretty-authentic. Jeff Daniels makes for an impressive & convincing Washington, although perhaps a little-more close-mouthed & stoic than the actual-man. I think he captures the General's overall-essence, though, nonetheless. The battle itself is well-staged, the violence not sugar-coated. The discussed-strategy for capturing Trenton was simplified for the film, as there were additional-wings which took other routes into the town, surrounding it, including one which never did arrive. There was a 2nd-battle of Trenton, also, a short-time later, on the American-return from defeating the British at Princeton but this elongated-campaign wasn't mentioned. Few people today know anything about the 2nd-Battle of Trenton. All in all, quite a good historical-drama. It's generally low-key dramatic tone lends an effective-seriousness to the crisis-atmosphere. The realistic-scenes between Washington & his officers are especially good here.

Thanks for the upload - excellent movie. Shows the enormous strain Washington was under, yet he and his men never gave up.

I love this movie

I love Historical movies, many thanks!

Than during the battle of Gettysburg Joshua Chamberlain was the hero again. Jeff Daniels did great in both films

Great movie,I use to live ten minutes from there, now two hrs.this is one of the better movies made,I like to go back there, beautiful place to live

The Republic forever, long live the Revolution!!!!

Seeing the guy who played Harry in Dumb and Dumber play George Washington is something else! Talk about range!

This movie ROCKS!!!!!!!

HISTORICAL MOVIE -VERY WELL DONE

First and Greatest Christmas in American history.

I just started watching, I remember this from so many years ago, thank you. It was this movie that made me a Jeff Daniel's fan.

One of my favorite movies ever.

I seriously don’t understand why this not shown more often

Beautiful, beautiful. Thank you so much.

I watch this movie every Christmas. Thank you for sharing.

One of the better historical accounts commensurate to the phrase "revenge is a dish best served cold."

Best Christmas Eve film, watch it every year I can, and here in 2020 it is especially heartwarming , Thank You

May providence save the republic. Thank you.

My yearly Christmas tradition.

Thank you for posting! I was going to show this to my American History class, but now we are virtual. This will allow me to post the link. Thank you!!!

I remember watching this on TV in 2000.

My favorite Christmas movie...

Watched this at school once. Had to come back and see it again

Watching it today, Dec 25th 2020 - exactly 246 years later.

Ty so much for posting this. Teacher here. I had this movie on dvd, but I think a student took it lol. I was looking everywhere for this movie.

Pretty cool movie thanks

the next time you get something crappy for christmas, just remember that the hessians had it way worse

Excellent movie Saw it in middle school

Happy Independence Day 2021

as a brit i enjoyed it

Thank you for posting this excellent movie!

I really love this movie

I remember watching this in the early 2000’s on Christmas.

Great movie... Like General Washigton, not to many around.

had this for school work and its very educational

"Wo sind die canonen?" Um....the half drunk guys who were supposed to be awake are still looking for them.

Awesome! 🇺🇸

Great movie my teacher showed me this in class today.

What better way to celebrate the 4th of July. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆

America

When I watch Jeff Daniels in this film I see Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. He plays both men exactly the same way.

I wish they could make a movie where that portrayed the Hessians accurately, from my understanding it was a brutal fight till they eventually surrendered, and idk for some reason I didn’t like Jeff Daniels as Washington, I didn’t hate him, but my favorite Washington actor would be Ian Kahn. I did really enjoy Glover and Knox’s portrayals though. Imagine what it must’ve been like to be in the continental army at that time, they knew nothing but defeat and were vastly outnumbered and Ill equipped, but somehow were able to preserve long enough for the French to join and create a new country, now we have people crying over EVERY thing

"Don't swing your balls or you'll swamp the boat"

watching cuz of schooll

Those of us who know our nations' true history know the key part that Divine Providence played, both in George Washington's life and his time commanding our troops. It was His supernatural favor that enabled Washington to cross the Delaware, in an impossible situation. Washington acknowledged this... and of course the famous painting of him, kneeling in prayer prior to that crossing, testifies to his strong faith. God had His hand on this nation from the very start ... and will, I believe, restore His hand of grace to us, if only we return to Him.

Who else has to watch this for school

Thanks so much for this!!

Thank you!

18:52 VERY EDUCATING

This video is the only reason I have notes for history Thanks lol 😂

This is about history

God Damn right!

Wonder movie. Merry Christmas 2020.

I love the music at 1:05:35

Cool movie to watch

thank you

I Came here because my history teacher told us too :) who else?

Finally a historical movie. 1:15:20 The enemy general is wounded. His men have lost morale and are surrendering. This is a shameful dispray!

Sure hope they are teaching American history at schools.

It is peculiar that Washington entertained Hessian officer prisoners to dine with him and his staff after Trenton if he hated them so much, as is portrayed in this film. Having now read American historian Edward Lovell's excellent book "The Hessians", which tells the whole story of the German auxiliary (not mercenary !) forces employed by the British in America, I found no mention of the alleged massacre of 500 rebel soldiers in New York after they had surrendered ! I think that this tale of woe is just another of the many untruths told by American rebels during the war, perpetuated until this day, otherwise Washington's friendly treatment and praise of the Hessian officers after Trenton is difficult to comprehend.

Okay someone tell me this what stopped gates from telling the hessians after he left

1:19:07

movie is pretty good,

Mrs. Burt better not give a quiz on this today

Is this the full movie?

The Hessians were taken by surprised on a brilliant plan and move by Washington

wait there only to who watching cause school

I'm here for an asignment, smh

mr simpson moment

Does anyone know the song that there singing when there crossing the river?

niogga???

why are there so few comments

54:15

This movie really makes me realize that I was born on 3rd base thanks to these men, thinking I hit a home run. This makes me angry at the Left that thumbs their noses at these people.

Love it ! , Jeff Daniels Funny ! 😂😂

Jeff Daniels plays Washington well, apart from his proud, stiff backed riding stance - Washington, it was said, rode a horse like a pregnant fisherwoman!

The Lee's have never been anything but a stain on this nation.

Somebody could have prayed just once !! Other than that !!

I was recently in Valley Forge (King of Prussia, PA and its environs). I felt emboldened by the history oozing from that area. It is a great place to pray for strength and calm in the face of adversity. WE BELIEVE IN YOU, MR PRESIDENT. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE PRESIDENT, NOT TWO....and particularly not a pathetic little weasel and his lackey who attempted to enter the White House through the back door. Patriots everywhere are willing to defend you AND CHAMPION YOUR CAUSE. THIS WE PLEDGE, PRESIDENT TRUMP...OUR UNDYING ALLEGIANCE. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

TRUMP 🇺🇸 OORAH 🇺🇸 PATRIOTS
