Favourite kilted movies...

[Andrew Green]

Yeah, I recall reading that Richard Todd served as a paratrooper... not an easy job!

[Rob Wright]

Breaker Morant, bloody brilliant movie with a fair amount of kilts throughout the movie.

"We caught them and we shot them under Rule .303!"

"How's your eyesight, sergeant?" "Terrible, Sir!"

The kilted gents in the movie were supposed to be Cameron Highlanders.

I agree; Breaker Morant is a brilliant movie and one of my top 10 favourites!

When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home,
let him combat for that of his neighbours.
Let him think of the glories of Greece and Rome,
And get knocked on the head for his labours.
Do good to mankind in the chivalrous plan, and is always nobly requited,
Then battle for freedom where'er you can...
And if not shot or hanged, you'll get knighted!

-- George Gordon, Lord Byron (a minor poet)

I won't, however, recite Handcock's poem, since this is a family forum!

Shoot straight you bast***s! Don'r make a mess of it!

I agree Todd it's one of the great movies. And can be very quotable at times
