#1 Just tell 'em it's "Zulu Dawn".

I bet they're fans of that one.

#2 Always been a favorite. ♫ Men of Harlech stand ye steady! ♫ Love that movie.
Zulu Dawn, blasted soundtrack on the copy I have is all over the place -- too quiet in dialogue to hear properly and when the action resumes your ears ring!

#3 I'd rather have the short list - what the lunatic lefties don't want to ban.

#4 Fahrenheit 451 on steroids, what they didn't ban last year the new crop of killjoys will ban this year.

#5 Zulu is: one of those character-building experiences that every boy should have on his route to manhood

Thus on the banned list on most American college and university campuses as toxic masculinity (along with Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Gettysburg, and The Crossing). Can't let anyone know who in the end pays in blood, mind and body for the unique historical experience of peace, prosperity and opportunity that so many take for granted as though it was something fundamentally natural rather than so incredibly unnatural.

#6 A lion lay licking his... blini
At fireside. A roar: Mahlathini!
Squeaks lion to bearer,
Both shaking in terror,
"Boy, fetch me a bloody Martini."

#7 FTA: instead of ignoring the 0.01 per cent as you do with the bad smell when someone farts in a lift (elevator), everyone feels compelled to take their witterings seriously.

#9 It is so offensive to the black man that the Zulu nation assisted in the filming. Damned Zulu's have a thing or two to learn about being black, that's for sure.

#10 Actually the film gives honor to the Zulu warriors as well. That's the concept the PC crowd never grasps. Whether its the Cleveland Indians or Washington Redskins, its an acknowledgement of honor to their warrior heritage, the courage and strength in the fight. One of the last shots of the movie is the Zulus acknowledging fellow warriors defending the Drift, someone worthy of their salute.

#11 P2K, the SJWs don't like the warrior ethos. It's too masculine.

#12 Let me guess....not enough black actors.

*puts on serious face*
Among the best movies ever made. Glad the score was mentioned. The Zulu were given much honor in this movie; tons more than most adversaries at the time and even now. They were shown to human, have their own love ambitions and motivations, and even if a viewer didn't know history, that they just whomped the British.

The score builds the danger, the acting builds the characters, all tied in with some darn good camera work.

Just a serious of great scenes running one after another. Preacher, when the wagons get tipped. Bugle player not having any spit. The defense of the barracks after catching fire. Ooops, forgot to latch the corral.
