Zulu ( 1964 )
In 1879, during the Anglo-Zulu War, man-of-the-people Lt. Chard and snooty Lt. Bromhead are in charge of defending the isolated and vastly outnumbered Natal outpost of Rorke's Drift from tribal hordes.
Absolutely bloody brilliant - hats off to every single person who took part in the making of the amazing movie. I first saw this in the year it was released, and I was gobsmacked. Even now, after watching this incredible movie many, many times, it still leaves me in awe at the courage and fortitude of so few who fought against so many. Michael Caine's debut showed his true potential in this movie and the rest of the star-studded cast were amazing too. Just love this movie.
