And one more point: Men of Harlech was not the regimental march; it was The Warwickshire Lads. The words used in "Zulu" were written especially for the movie:

Don't get me wrong; I love "Zulu" and especially Men of Harlech, but I love the real story as well.

Hi Todd,yes I knew about the Warwickshire(pronounced worrick-shire) connection,but I did not want to complicate things!I have family connections to both the Warwicks and the SWB.I might have known you would pick me up on this!
All the best,
Jock.

How 'bout Forrest Gump?

More seriously though...I know How Green Was my Valley is set in Wales, but can you imagine it kilted? Sigh.

YES!!! What a waste of film. I watched it free at my in-laws on HBO and was still mad even though I didn't pay to see it. I thought Sean Connery should've kilted up in the Indiana Jones movie.

How about a remake of the Lord of the Rings trilogy where the dwarves wear kilts.

I actually used this idea in a Dungeons and Dragons setting I created. One area of dwarven population was similar to the Scottish highlands and they all wore kilts.

How about "Singing in the Rain" with Gene Kelly??? You would have to change the title song to "Swinging in the Rain" talking about the pleats swishing along! (Waiting anxiously for Panache to take a stab at the lyrics!)
