All I remember is the opening scene. I was just a kid. Was made sometime in the seventies. Opening scene opens up on a battlefield. Hundreds of dead soldiers. Redcoats perhaps (but I don't believe it was the American War of Independence). Wish I had more info, but that's it. Thanks for any help.

No Drums, No Bugles? I don't remember the opening scene to confirm.

Thanks, Looked it up, your movie takes place during the Civil War.....I think my movie may have been prior to the 1800's.

The opening shot in Zulu shows a number of dead British soldiers on a battlefield. Plus, Zulu is a movie that has often been shown on television.

Hmmm, possible. I saw it in a theater with my dad so that would have been the origin of my memory. I will rent it on dvd to see. Yet in the back of my mind I keep thinking European locales. Thanks though!

Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon?

when was "just a kid" like give us a year or something. Cuz... that's a broad range to be known as a kid and considering we don't know WHEN you were a kid...it's harder.

That could be it! I have the movie (Big Lots $3) and now I can't wait toi check that out later. Thanks.

Terminator 2?

Yeah it sounds like it could be Zulu. Michael Caine's first feature film. Great movie.

Never seen it so have no idea if this could be it, or what the opening scene is but there is a film called Waterloo released in 1970 with Rod Steiger as Napoleon. Fits the european local.
