Watch it at least twice a year.

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2004)

I saw "Zulu" in Augsburg, Germany in 1964 at one of the US Army post theaters and have been a major fan of it since. Because of the historical significance and because I now have a degree in History I have obtained and read many books on the battle, as well as the war. It's impressive how historically correct the film is and the set was well reproduced. I disagree with the reviewer that thought Jack Hawkins's acting was bad. I thought he was thoroughly obnoxious which is what I would expect a drunken preacher to be. I put together a little screening party at my house once for several friends that I wanted to introduce "Zulu" to. I began the evening with "Zulu Dawn" and then "Zulu". These people were radio-types so I figured they would be bored senseless and not get the satisfaction from them that I do but the evening was a big hit. So if this film can make disc jockeys stay focused for more than 38 seconds then it must be good.
