I don't know about "worshipped", but I think it's highly respected by many people.
I certainly like it a lot

Zulu is a complete masterpiece in every way. The Man Who Would Be King even though a brilliant film, just lacks a certain something that would put it in the same class.

But what a double bill it would be.

Default Red uniforms....
I saw "Zulu" once, but "The Man Who Would Be King", let say...hundred times !
One off my favourite ever. Hopefully, Bogart and Gable weren't available...(rime!)

They were dead!

Huston actually wanted to film MWWBK with those two in the 50s, but Bogie's illness and subsequent death scuppered the idea.

Smile freemason
Strange how a film can so easily come into a conversation.Only the weekend I was talking about freemason's and the subject of "the man who would be king"came up.Hopefully a friend will be watching it this week because of the conversation.Great film ,without a doubt but I have to agree "Zulu" has that something special.
And yes what a Double Bill they would make.2 DVD set?
