Ye Gods, what a stirring movie!

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 1999)

(I was getting chills just casting my vote for it!) How good is this movie? It is SOOO good that when I learned that its prequel, "Zulu Dawn," was to premiere in London, I was ready to fly (full fare) from LAX to Heathrow JUST to see the prequel. Fortunately, I didn't -- it was a disappointment. Making a prequel to "Zulu" must have been like making one of those horrendous sequels to "Gone With the Wind." The last ten or fifteen minutes of "Zulu" are among the most memorable I have experienced watching a motion picture -- and I have only seen this on television! It must be a wonder on a theater screen. ...
