You reminded me of Michael Caine in Zulu. Those Zulus and Welsh soldiers singing! That was great!

That's another very good movie, though I am biased because it confirms the superiority of engineers in any walk of life (the guy in charge at Rourk's Drift was the engineer who was directing the bridge-building efforts of the British Army). LOL!

Right! "Zulu" was excellent! I also liked "Saving Private Ryan." Pretty realistic combat scenes. Having just read some accounts of the terrible scenes at Omaha and Utah beaches by vets who survived, "Ryan" got close to reality, but not quite. The reality was too horrible to put on film.

ZULU!! GREAT MOVIE!!
I like THE LIGHT HORSEMEN. It is about the true story a troop of Australian horse soldiers in WWI. They were involved in the last successful cavalry charge by horse soldiers, EVER...possitively spell binding!! Lots of action and the story is BRILLANT!!

Those Zulus and Welsh soldiers singing! Men of harlech, stand ye steady,
It can not be ever said ye,
For the battle were not ready,
Welchmen will not yield!"
Great stuff!
