Thanks for that link. I’ve been on a kick of watching old movies on youtube that I haven’t ever watched but are much aclaimed.

“Breaker Morant” and “Zulu” for starters and both were great.

IIRC I recall a documentary about directors that served in WWII creating war effort films, and one of them after the war did “The Best Years of Our Lives” because of the impact that the war had on him. (I might be wrong, but...)

Zulu

“Shoot straight you bastards!”

Third favorite movie.

I recently came across the DVD of Zulu while packing for a move. Once it appears as we unbox, I’ll have to watch it. That movie really helped get a young Michael Caine’s career rolling, as I understand it. And will add Casablanca and Breaker Morant to the watch list.

Zulu is a great movie and my personal favorite.

But i love Africa and i love choral singing, so Zulu is a slam-dunk for me.
