Great job by Stanley Baker and the very new Michael Caine. Not WWI but I always find movies based on fact more fascinating than fiction, especially about a battle where so many Victoria Crosses were awarded and following the defeat at Iswandala.

I was inattentive. I thought the title was 10 Best War Movies ever made and the author had a penchant for WWI. Still Zulu was a great war movie and is one of the few dealing with any of the wars between the American Civil War and WWI.

The Battle of Roukes Drift, Jan. 22, 1879, saw the most Victoria Crosses ever awarded in the British Army.
