      Was thinking exactly the same thing. Zulu is my all time favourite film and part of it makes an appearance in Gladiator, but amazed that Waterloo did not make it as it is far superior to a lot of the films here.

    Whilst we are prioritising attention to historical detail for the list, we are allowing fictional films to be included, as long as there is some degree of historical accuracy to them. For instance, we're aware that 'Braveheart' is regularly regarded as historically inaccurate, however, due to its portrayal of real people and events, we decided it was eligible for the list. However, fantasy-based films such as ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘300’ have not been included (despite the latter being loosely based around the real-life Battle of Thermopylae), as we're considering doing a separate video for these in the near future.

    I really really recommend a Serbian movie "King Peter the First", a newer movie. Really well done and tells a story of multiple characters, real life accurate lives and story of the youngest soldier in WW1 and of course, King Peter the First who went into battles. Depicts the most important battles of WW1, since everything started in Serbian Kingdom at that time. Most bone-chilling moment in the movie is when the Serbian army was forced to retreat through harsh Albanian mountains, not only hunger, flus, sickness, cold weather were the problem but the Albanians who killed the weakest that were left behind. Depicts every detail of Serbia in WW1. I really really recommend that movie, as the movie progress it gets more darker.

      It is a terrific movie.
      But I think it should have had more recognition that the previous day, an entire British regiment of more than a thousand men died almost to the last man by attacking Zilus. There is some recongition of that is Zulu, but it's slight.
      Contrasting the reasons why a far smaller force beat off the Zulu attackers with while the regiment was destroyed would have been a useful contrast.

And another, even though is not historical but a great war picture is "The mercenaries" made in 1968 with Rod Taylor. Perhaps you´ll consider it for a 1960 list. Great work, keep them coming.

    Braveheart shouldn't have been in there, the film was a joke, and if you like the scenery so much, then put it in the travelogue category. Oh, and if you'll excuse my pedantry, the regiment at Rorkes Drift wasn't Welsh, it was the 24th Foot (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment. (Good choice for number one, though 👍)

    • @SmashingUKProductions
      @SmashingUKProductions  3 роки тому +3

      We're aware not everyone's a fan of 'Braveheart' and can understand why. For 'Zulu', we do know that the 24th Regiment of Foot was founded in Warwickshire in the 1680s, however, it was relocated to Brecon 6 years prior to the Battle of Rorke's Drift, and although this doesn't instantly reclassify it as a Welsh regiment, Stanley Baker personally wanted to portray the Welsh side of the conflict (with some English soldiers thrown in too), this is the main reason behind why they chose to describe them as Welsh in the film, as well as the scene where they all sing "Men of Harlech".
