This is one of the greatest films ever made!!! Zulu is an absolute epic that must be seen by everyone!

The performance by Michael Caine is flawless.

Set in the 1880's (right?), Zulu depicts the relatively small number of British Troops holding off a couple of thousand Zulus at Rorke's Drift.

This is a film for everyone, for Grandad, Dad, EVERYONE!

An outstanding film that MUST BE SEEN!

I think everyone's seen this film, haven't they? If you have been living under a rock for the last 20 years, then here's one of the films you should watch to celebrate your emergence.

Watch and enjoy.
