55 Days didn't get me into Colonials, but of all the ones that made it this far, it's the only one that's inspired me to buy minis (for VSF games).

When I first saw The Man Who Would Be King in the theater, I was blown away by one scene of the army on the march. "Egad, that's a proper wargaming army!"

I would have liked to include Zulu Dawn, however, I was neck deep into colonials before it came out. I did include Khartoum even though it was 20 years after I started colonials before I painted my first Mahdist unit.

Lawrence of Arabia isn't a colonial film. It's a WWI film.

Poll doesn't say colonial film. Just the film that got someone into colonial gaming. ~ , ~

What happened to North West Frontier? Where is Young Winston? Trains….what is Colonial warfare without a train (or a steam traction engine towing a really big gun)?
