It's not a movie, it's an experience. 
I watched it when it was released and fell in love with it as a boy.

Re: Best post WWII Military Films
'The Wild Geese' (1978) Actor Ian Yule was actually a former soldier and served under Major Mike Hoare in the Congo. Actually a pretty good film on the whole and filmed mainly in South Africa.

I remember watching this on VHS some time in the 80s. Having said that, I remember NOTHING about the film. Thanks for reminding me it.

Re: Best post WWII Military Films
Just watched the end of the series 'Six' on the History channel. Good show, seems there will be a series two.

About a British Mercenary unit in Africa, full of big time British film stars (Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Roger Moore, Stewart Granger) plus the sons of Alan Ladd and Sir Stanley Baker. Hardy Kruger and assorted character actors, features the SLR Rifle.
Major 'Mad Mike' Hoare an actual mercenary commander from the Congo (who saved a lot of lives back then) was an advisor on the film. Good one for anyone who remembers the Elengeni hotel, Durban, or Magoo's Bar, back in the day. Bayete.
I ended up with a one bedroom flat on North Beach that you could, just about, see the sea from in the Kitchen. Lmao.

Very good film. Not shown too often though. If I remember rightly, I think I watched it on YouTube once. That is before the inevitable "copyright infringement" flag went up.
