Zulu (Cy Endfield, 1964)


"Stop throwing those bloody spears at me!" (Caine doesn't actually say that during the movie).

Like The Great Escape, there's something about Zulu that's so effortlessly timeless. Whilst the reasons for the battle are still questionable (us Brits did steal much of the Zulu land), it is wholly gratifying to see military tactics used to win a battle under impossible odds. It may be a movie but it's a damn good one.

5/5
