ZULU (Theatrical Release UK 1964)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Zulu—epic classic—bases itself on a real battle between the South African Zulu nation and the British nation. Visual scenes are outstanding. There is no lack of heart or humanity in this movie. It does a very good job of portraying honor and bravery during battle as well as showing respect between opposing forces. Terrific watch that easily earns a place in the home video library.
