    Who rates the film Zulu amongst the best films ever?

    Question #32755. Asked by appploooon. (Apr 30 03 10:49 AM)


    Senior Moments

    Early in 1999, the British Film Institute produced a selection booklet and sent copies to 1,000 people embracing all strands of the film, cinema and television industries throughout the UK - producers, directors, writers, actors, technicians, academics, exhibitors, distributors, executives and critics. Participants were asked to consider (and vote for up to 100) 'culturally British' feature films, released in cinemas during the 20th century, which they felt had made a strong and lasting impression. Altogether, more than 25,700 votes were cast, covering 820 different films. The final selection makes compulsive reading. It spans seven decades, from 1935 to 1998, accommodates the work of 70 film directors and much international talent. Zulu was voted No. 31 http://www.filmsite.org/brit100.html

    At the end of the film 'Zulu', the Zulu warriors depart from the battlefield after saluting the hopelessly outnumbered British soldiers for their bravery in continuing to fight despite the overwhelming odds against them. My brother tells me that, in reality, the Zulus returned a few days later and massacred all of the remaining soldiers at Rourke's Drift. Is he right?
