The original Davey Crockett movie I enjoyed a great deal when it came out but I won't say how old I was. There was another Walt Disney movie with a flint lock theme; I remember clearly that the good guy shot one bad guy (in this case, bad guy=Indians, sorry to my Hochungra friends) across the creek, the second one starts running across the creek while the good guy reloads and he shoots the bad guy with the ramrod. It was a very exciting fifteen seconds.
Black Robe was not a popular flick but it had some very interesting firearms.
It seems to me there was another flick about the time I was learning to read that involved a green horn with a percussion rifle meeting a bunch of mountain men with flintlocks.
