Zulu. They got it perfect the first time.

Unfortunately...Hollywood already fucked up the movie I would have nominated. "The Day The Earth Stood Still" was perfect as it was....but no, Hollywood just *had* to mess with it.

I refuse to see the remake.

I sacrificed my time for the greater good. You're not missing anything....it was pretty bad.

You could edit out the missionary that was not there historically.

I believe the part was added for the actor because he was a driving force in getting Zulu made.

The Reverend Otto Witt was there. He was a Swede, not British, and in no way the drunken sot portrayed.

My guess is they needed a character to voice the peril and hopelessness of the situation.

But still, the perfect movie.
