My favourite film

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2006)

Everything about this film speaks to me in ways few others could. From John Barry's mighty score to Nigel Green's quiet yet towering performance as Colour Sgt. Bourne all the way down to the classic Men of Harlech scene that speaks to my Welsh soul. It is truly a classic and strong contender for best British film of all time.
It's difficult to find a fault. Superb cinematography, strong direction, uniformly good performances with some real standouts (the aforementioned Green), and perhaps most importantly equally respectful to both the British and the Zulus, it's influence can be seen in films from that day to this, from Gladiator to The Lord Of The Rings.
And a Richard Burton narration too. Which was nice.
